How would a pure Nohrian siegbert treat his half-hoshidan cousins? eg. Camilla Kiragi, Hinoka Forrest, or Elise Shiro? Would there be any culture clash?

🍭:

He'd treat them cordially, at the very least, and they'd be very close at best! It'd depend on the timeline, of course. In Revelation, they'd have the best relationship. In Birthright, they'd definitely have the worst, especially if Corrin is their other parent.

Lovers in the Forest by Leopold Rothaug

[resourcesofaqueen]

Royal Sentence Starters. A series of questions for all your royal longings ♥

From the parents / teachers / council:

Let them dance together first.

Your Highness! What about the history lesson?

And when he / she fell in love? Without my permission?

This nonsense must stop. Your education has absolute priority.

Your language skills are lacking / excellent.

I / we have decided on a groom / bride for you.

The wedding arrangements with the neighboring country were concluded.

Love doesn’t matter, duty does.

You were born to serve your country.

You’ll do as you are told.

You’re gonna pick a groom / bride this summer!

You will choose one of the debutants as your bride.

You will be a worthy successor.

Your parents would be proud of you.

I should have been more strict with you!

You are responsible for your kingdom, for your country!

Don’t you care about your kingdom?

With diplomacy you have to be careful, but still use it skillfully.

I / we expect impeccable behavior.

Could you represent me as heir to the throne in this matter?

You are the heir!

For the arranged marriage:

We might not love each other but perhaps we can be friends?

I didn’t choose this!

I do not want to marry him / her!

Her dowry means nothing to me!

His / her power means nothing to me!

Just because this marriage is beneficial, it doesn’t have to be good.

So you’re suggesting I marry someone I don’t love?

Perhaps we can grow to love each other.

I do not want to be queen!

I do not want to move to a foreign country!

Is it bad of me if I do not feel anything for my betrothed?

He / she is too old.

He / she is too young.

I don’t even want the throne.

I don’t even want children.

I cannot and will never love him / her / you.

My heart already belongs to someone else.

For (secret) lovers:

You didn’t ask for permission and married me.

Do you want to be my prince / princess?

I’ll do anything in my power to convince them of our marriage plans.

You’d make a wonderful groom / bride.

I cannot marry you. My position / parents wouldn’t allow it.

We cannot meet like this anymore.

I’m sorry, I have to leave you.

Leaving you breaks my heart.

You are my everything, worth more than a crown.

I choose you, no matter what the king says.

My bride / groom means nothing. You are the one I want.

Meet me at midnight at the fountain.

A crown means nothing if the heart is unhappy.

I’d choose your love over all gold and diamonds.

The marriage is set. I cannot change it.

My heart will always belong to you.

I’ll protect you, no matter what.

I’m betrothed now, I wish it was you.

I’ll dance with you at this ball, no matter what the others say.

Will you grant me the next dance?

I’ll be your gallant companion.

You’ll be the most beautiful groom / bride.

You make me happy.

Will I be a Majesty?

From the royal:

In accordance with ancient custom, I shall choose a groom / bride.

Not everything is beautiful just because it shines.

I’d rather be a commoner.

I want to be free.

The crown is too heavy to bear.

It is sometimes not a privilege to be a firstborn.

The hopes of my whole country rest upon me.

There are so many rules and protocols I have to follow.

You can have this dress / this jacket if you want to. I have many more.

I miss interacting with you like this.

You are the only one that i honest with me.

My advisors tell me it’s the right decision. But is it really?

My parents wish me to marry but I want to follow my heart.

Living in a castle is sometimes like living in a prison.

I wish we could switch positions for a day.

Living in a castle is boring. Your life is much more exciting.

I invite you to this ball / tournament.

I want you to be there. Do not worry about others.

Would you deny an invitation if the prince / princess yourself invites you?

I’m sorry I didn’t tell you but …. I’m kinda the prince / princess and this is my kingdom.

I didn’t tell you I’m the prince / princess because I appreciate our friendship.

From the (non-royal) friend:

This must be the prince / princess!

Look, look, look…uhm your highness.

This crown / tiara must be heavy.

I like how your crown / tiara sparkles.

I’d wish I could also wear such a crown / tiara.

Can you always wear such beautiful clothes?

All these clothes would be my death.

I am envious of you.

I’m glad I’m not in your position.

Surely you can sneak out?

When do you have to leave?

When will you be back?

Can I hold your train?

Can I be one of your bridesmaids / groomsman?

How am I supposed to address you now?

I don’t know how to do a proper courtesy.

I’m not one who is fit for the court.

Why didn’t you tell me you’re royal / the prince / the princess?

You can’t be real about this! It sounds like a fairytale come true.

Even a prince / princess is allowed to have fun!

You have never danced anything else besides walzer?

I didn’t know you speak so many languages.

Have you ever tried xy?

I’m nothing and you … you are the prince / princess.

Have you ever been to the village?

And you really live in this castle?

You would look at things differently if you were in my position.

Then, your Majesty, any dream is possible.

[gallant-gained]

🍭:

I had a wholesome hc

So obviously, being royals, it would be hard for Siegbert to be alone with Zelda like non-royal couples can be. When they are in public, they probably have to be very formal with each other. Even their letters are probably intercepted by someone.

So they probably have to sneak around. And they probably tried different ways.

I could see Siegbert like slipping a note into her food or something. But maybe one day a taster catches it and he gets in trouble lol

Xander: *holds up jam-covered love note* really son

Siegbert: ;;

And maybe Zelda manages to sneak him a gossip stone and that's how they communicate! He probably stressed out trying to find a good place to put it, let alone a good time to speak with it uninterrupted or undetected.

But I'm sure they managed eventually!

P.S.: once I heard about an IRL prince dressing up like a nun to meet his lover that way (yes those nuns were doing some unholy things but that is another story). If he was desperate enough he would 100% try that lol

He'd get caught IMMEDIATELY if someone saw him but he would try lol

Siegbert: *adjusting habit* this is for love...it is for love...!

Maybe have Zelda pretend instead lol she'd have an easier time

[dinrelsanddragons]

@gallant-gained cont'd from here

"A potent poison. Choking. Getting drunk and falling from a boat. Accidentally locking yourself in a storage cellar and dehydrating to death." More demises from the history books. "I am not denying your strength and tenacity. Not everyone could survive such an event, especially at such a young age. But we must account for the unexpected when we can." "Also...I don't believe you've ever mentioned a sister before. Is she also a knight?"

He raised an eyebrow. "Yes, my sister Cara. She was a soldier, for a time... But she received a discharge after her temperament was found to be unsuitable for military service. Oh, make no mistake; she's a fine sword arm and quick with a shield. But she does not listen well to orders when she thinks she can do better herself. Now she wanders the realm in search of signs from the goddesses for where she may be best directed to smite evil."

He shook his head. "Most of your demises are examples of carelessness or sheer stupidity. I'll grant that poison can be something to fear, but additional care can prevent death by that as well."

He looked at Zelda, a sterling example of how unnecessary and even self-defeating it could be to have so many members of a single generation of royalty. "In the case of your family... I've heard that having so many offspring by the king was a disaster, in your father's childhood. With so many children vying for favor of all kinds and the twisted games put upon them by their father, how can one be surprised by a high death rate? The Nohrian proclivity towards violence may make you strong individually... but it divides and renders the nation so much weaker."

[gallant-gained]

Well, that was a thorny topic. But he was warned that this would come up from time to time. He took a short moment to gather his words very carefully.

"Yes, having so many children did increase the risk of homicide, at least," he said. "We cannot deny that. We Nohrians can be a fierce people, but we are devoted to those that we love. Father and his siblings are very close, despite everything. They regularly lay down their lives for one another, not for political gain, but out of genuine concern for the other's well-being. I only plan to have children with one woman, if she will have me, but my children shall be just as amicable with each other, no matter their place in the succession line. And even then, one could still succumb to an unexpected death."

[gallant-gained]

(from Vair of dinrelsanddragons) "If you really think you require so many offspring in order for one or two to survive, then you are already too weak. When I was six, a dragon attacked my hometown and burned it to the ground– the sole survivors were my sister and I. Let me frame it this way:

If a dragon could not kill me at six or my sister as an infant, then what in the name of Demise could possibly kill either of us now?"

@dinrelsanddragons

"A potent poison. Choking. Getting drunk and falling from a boat. Accidentally locking yourself in a storage cellar and dehydrating to death." More demises from the history books. "I am not denying your strength and tenacity. Not everyone could survive such an event, especially at such a young age. But we must account for the unexpected when we can."

"Also...I don't believe you've ever mentioned a sister before. Is she also a knight?"

[gallant-gained]

"This will help boy." Garon says before handing a map with multiple buildings in Krakenburg circled. "Make sure to check out all to find your favorite." it's all the brothels Garon likes.

"..."

"Er. Thank you, Grandfather, I will take this into consideration."

Meaning, he was going to "accidentally" throw it in the fire later.

[naive-petals]

“Are you really that concerned of it happening out of the blue? I would expect a Nohrian assassin before a brick.”

She wanted to point out someone could have been behind said brick but she didnt want to anger the prince as is.

“Should your father and mother keep having kids then? Or Garon? Since something could easily happen to you, xander, leo, Camilla, elise…” the final thought made her shutter. She didnt know the youngest princess well but her mother spoke well of her and she seemed the kindest of the Nohrian royals.

[gallant-gained]

"It would be in their best interest," Siegbert replied, simply. "It isn't my place to dictate what they do. But my sister is an infant, there are no others, and I am unmarried and old enough to enter the battlefield. Having more children would further secure the bloodline. The brick example is extreme, yes, but tragic deaths happen every day. We royals are not exempt from it. But that is just my humble opinion. I am sure they have their reasons."

He certainly didn't want to get in trouble; his father was particularly defensive about his private affairs.

[naive-petals]

“You say that but arent you the one who wants ten kids?” Caeldori would acknowledge the duty part of the throne even if she mercifully wouldn’t have to deal with it but she cant help but point it out. “If the first kids a strong heir you would still want more no?”

[gallant-gained]

"Ten is...a bit much! Five would suffice."

"And yes, the first child could be a strong heir. And then one day, as he's taking a walk, a stray brick might fall from some high wall of the castle and strike him down dead where he stands. That happened to an ancestor of mine. Luckily, he had siblings to take his place. Do you understand now?"

[naive-petals]

“…would you stop trying to have children?”

She knew the prince was stubborn on wanting kids. She has heard it multiple times after all but surely he wouldn’t be that insane. Right?

“Or would you risk repeating the same mistake again? Im sorry for heavy topics but i worry you’ll cause yourself and your beloved harm.”

Offering the best soft smile she could Caeldori could only hope that things went smoothly.

“I pray for the best either way.”

[gallant-gained]

"That is a luxury not afforded to me," he admitted. "Until I have enough strong heirs for the throne, it is my duty to produce them, regardless of what happens. That is the long and the short of the matter."

[gallant-gained]

@naive-petals

“And what if your wife dies from repeated childbirth?” Why Doris in Nohr rn is a large shrug but shes trying to save people. “Its not exactly an easy experience. Or so i heard at least.”

"My wife would have access to the best midwives and healers in the land. We'd do our best to prevent any disasters."

"But if, despite our efforts, she should pass in childbirth..." It stung him to even think about. "I would have to remarry." In ceremony, only. If he was fortunate enough to marry his beloved, he wasn't sure if he could truly replace her. "For the good of the kingdom."

[gallant-gained]

“Prince Siegbert.” Thankfully Caeldori isnt part of that but even she finds his wants insane. “Wont your cousins also help towards any dynasty? One person does not need to provide every child.”

"Oh, yes, of course, but as crown prince, my children will be next to rule after myself. It is important to protect the bloodline of the Dusk Dragon from murder or disease or bad eggs by having multiple options. Having one or two is just not sustainable."

A direct quote from one of his tutors. Having heirs was one of his duties as king, so he was taught about it once it was time to learn that babies were not carried into the world by storks, but by mothers.

[gallant-gained]

🍭:

Yes warning to anyone checking for Siegbert

Not only do you have the pressure of having an heir

But he wants lots of babies lol

People are currently trying to talk him out of having 5. But he wants at least 3.

What can he say, Nohrian kings gonna Nohrian king.

[gallant-gained]

"The Solstice is a very important time in Nohr."

"As a day of extended darkness, we take this time to contemplate the coming winter, which is due to be less harsh than usual...but still quite harsh. Therefore, we all must cultivate gratitude and temperance."

"...That is a nice name. Temperance. Perhaps too lowly for a princess."

"Father will give a speech about it this afternoon. Will you be watching? I will be." Because of course he was.

"Siegbert!" Zelda's face is alight with joy. "Welcome back, I've missed you dearly. And Mr. Flops is still well, too?"

"He is well, yes. He's in his hutch, if you'd like to see him."

He couldn't help but return the gesture; her smile was contagious, and so beautiful!

"I missed you, too, Ella. I thought of you every day..."

And Siegbert brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. To the rest of the world, they were the future of their respective kingdoms. But here, in these fleeting moments, they were just two lovers. Although it wasn't very princely, in his mind, he did enjoy it quite a bit.

[gallant-gained]
