Generation 6 Queen Hilde
Hilde adjusted to her life in the castle fairly quickly. She continued to play the violin regularly, becoming known across the kingdom.
Shortly after Queen Elizabeth gave birth to her second son prince Henry, and lets just say she also died in childbirth (it was common back then!) King Augustus died not too long after of old age, making Prince Arthur now King Arthur, and Hilde, now Queen Hilde.
(The King didn't get the memo initially)
(King Arthur aged up shortly after)
(Still a huge fan of his wife's violin skills)
King Arthur and Queen Hilde decided to raise Prince Henry as if he were their own.
(Prince Henry)
And not too long after, Queen Hilde gave birth to a son, named Prince Louis.
(Prince Louis)
(The two boys together)
Guinevere was overjoyed that Hilde arranged for her to join her at the castle. She was a dutiful house maiden and loved Hilde but she couldn't help but become enamored by the handsome prince. She began to meet with him in private eventually charming him and beginning a secret romance.
(This was pre-aging up, around the same time that Henry and Louis were born)
And just like this story always goes, Guinevere gave birth to a girl named Cecelia never telling the truth of her parentage.
(Cecelia)
The three children grew up together in the castle. Hilde engaged them in violin lessons while she herself moved on to piano and a bit of home improvement on the side.
Prince Louis was a sweet and gentle hearted boy. Lady Cecelia was a bit of a drama queen and although a bit tough and sometimes bossy she was overall a sweet child. Henry was a playful and a bit mischievous boy. He was always pulling pranks on the other two. He always fought with Cecelia for who would be the leader while prince Louis followed.
Queen Hilde continued playing violin and piano as the years went by. And King Arthur proved himself to be a worthy king.
As for the kids growing up within the castle walls wasn't always easy. Cecelia and Henry were often jealous of Louis. Cecelia, after all, was the child of a king (as she finally learned) but without the recognition. She could never be considered a princess and therefore would never marry a prince and become queen. Henry too felt cheated. He was the second son of the king but would never be king himself because his brother fathered a male heir. And why did Louis deserve to be king over him? He was too kind and softhearted, not king worthy at all.
(Prince Louis all grown up)
(Prince Henry looks at the wildfire and thinks BURN THEM ALL! J/K its the King's wine stash and he wants to drink it all for himself)
So the two, Henry and Guinevere conspired together. Henry would challenge Prince Louis to a duel and if he won he would win the Game of Thrones... I mean he would become the new heir to the throne and banish prince Louis to a far off island somewhere. Then he would marry Guinevere and she would become his queen. The two would have everything they ever dreamed of.
So prince Henry approached prince Louis and challenged him to a duel. But alas, Prince Henry had underestimated prince Louis and in fact, Prince Louis won!
Prince Henry groveled at prince Louis feet, please forgive me and don't banish me to a far off island!
Banish you? I would never he told prince Henry. The first rule of being a good just king is to be forgiving. How about I make you the head of my army when I'm king? And you Cecelia can marry a far off Prince. Even if we have different mothers you are still my sister, after all! (And cousin!)
Prince Henry and (Princess) Cecelia were eternally grateful. And the three continued as if nothing had happened between them.
Indeed Prince Louis would be a good king.
And it's a good thing because change would come again soon. Someone (or a lot of people?) were inventing science and new types of art. It was like they were entering a Renaissance...
