King and Queen Attend Governor's Ball in Del Sol Valley
Kicking off the first official event of the season, King Arden and Queen Regina attend the Del Sol Valley Governor's Ball at the prestigious Rotterdam Ballroom in the Del Sol Grand Hotel. The ball is a celebration for the inauguration of the Del Sol region's new Governor Hiram Macnair; a man who has had public backing from the Queen's very own Harwood family. It was a close race, with Hiram's opponent, the Devonshire family-backed Earl of Clarence, losing by a close twenty votes.
Governor Macnair ran on forward thinking politics centered around women's rights. His matter-of-fact, go-getter attitude coupled with his philanthropic background gained him immense popularity with Del Sol residents. His partnership with many of the Harwood family's legal initiatives regarding women's inheritance has transformed the Del Sol region of Lunaria into one of the most progressive in the country. The most recent has tackled a woman's right to inherit certain properties from their parents, which under Lunarian law must be offered to any male relatives before it can be offered to any daughters in the family. The newly appointed governor has promised to keep the momentum going during his term.

The King and Queen have attended multiple Governor's Balls throughout the country but this one in particular is close to their hearts. Not only is Queen Regina a part of the Harwood family who has supported Macnair's career and ideals, his wife, Sonya, is one of her close personal friends. The two attended university together and even shared a dorm during their freshman year. His Majesty the King has on multiple occasions hosted Governor Macnair in court, connecting him with supportive members of the House of Lords and attempting to introduce his ideals on a national level.

Their Majesties spent the evening mingling with he crème de la crème of Del Sol Valley, an eye-catching couple dressed to the nines. Queen Regina looked stunning in her signature color: a deep, regal purple gown made custom for her by iconic Lunarian designer Lady Sìle Astley. The King could barely take his eyes off her!
The two have a packed schedule this fall so we'll be seeing a lot more of them!
