She would later remember the crown prince's racking cough as she took his measurements, the shock in his eyes when he saw the blood on his palm, the crash as he collapsed.
Three days before his coronation as King of Wallachia, Eldrick Aldea, eldest son of Queen Liliana and King Alder, was murdered. He was poisoned. A young servant, who was the last person to handle his meal, admitted to and was executed for the crime. Even so, rumors began within the castle, spoken in hushed whispers and coded messages between staff. Many suspected that Edrick's younger brother was responsible for his death, as he became next in line for the throne. Others thought one of his other siblings were behind the act, or worse, was actively working with another kingdom to sabotage Wallachia. The coronation was postponed while the kingdom mourned for Eldrick and Queen Liliana resumed temporary control of the throne.
Eldrick's betrothed, the princess of Aldissa, and two royals from the Kingdom of Viracia were to attend Eldrick's coronation. As part of a peace treaty between the three kingdoms, the ruler of each nation agreed to have their eldest children marry, both as a sign of trust and to have some power over their allies. When news of Eldrick's death reached the convoys from Aldissa and Viracia, they were already on the outskirts of Wallachia.
Background:
Wallachia is a kingdom of aristocracy. It has the strongest military of the three major kingdoms, but has no allies. The previous King of Wallachia was killed in a war between the major kingdoms, only a month before a peace agreement was made.
Aldissa is a kingdom of agriculture and medicine. It is a young, inexperienced nation that has to rely on others for imported resources.
Viracia is a kingdom of knowledge, known for their vast, ancient libraries, thought to contain records dating as far back as to the dawn of civilization. Viracia is full of scholars and artisans (think the Renaissance), but relies on other, smaller nations with greater military might to protect them.
