I wanted to do a little genealogy on my Sims, inspired by these videos (1, 2) by Lindsay Holiday (History Tea Time) and this one by Matt Baker (UsefulCharts), two of my favorite YouTubers. I hope you guys enjoy it because I had to do math for these 😅
It's finally time for the one we have all been waiting for- Emperor Victor Lofton
Tsarina Ekaterina: "Let's just jump right into this, shall we? A lot of people have waited a very long time for this moment right here, and I don't want to keep them waiting. Mr. Lofton, how do you plead?"
Mr. Lofton: "I do not recognize your authority to demand a plea from me, nor to judge my actions. I am a sovereign, annointed, Emperor, as you are, and therefore neither has the higher rank to judge the other. Only God himself can judge me."
Tsarina Ekaterina: "So you choose not to plead?"
Mr. Lofton: "Only. God. Can. Judge. Me."
Tsarina Ekaterina: "Well you may not recognize our authority, but the rest of the world does, so I am delighted to begin this sentencing."
Tsarina Ekaterina: "For the declaration of war on a trade and commerce ally under false pretenses..."
King Ivan De La Cru: "...for the disruption and blockage of trade routes in the South Seas, preventing necessary food and aid from reaching Allied Nations..."
Queen Aniad Montero: "...for the unlawful occupation of the sovereign nations of Sulani, Tartosa, Selvadorada, and Newcrest..."
Chief Lilah Mahoe: "...for the subjugation of these nations free citizens..."
King Petros Kalogera: "...for the elevation of Crown Princess Martha Lofton-Strauss, Crown Prince Eugene Lofton-Strauss, Prince Jonas Lofton, Lucian Castellano, Earl of Frankvan, and Prince Stefano Colona to positions they had no right to and against your power to do so..."
Queen Genevieve Pelletier: "...for coercing Prince Eugene Lofton-Strauss into an arranged marriage with Lady Mathhilda Schmidt-Bauer, and for coercing Prince Jonas Lofton and Princess Emma Lofton-Strauss into arranged engagements with Lady Johanna Albrecht and Mr. Damien Colona, respectively..."
King Caleb Norton: "...for coercing Lady Adelheid von Hollebein into an arranged marriage with you..."
Emperor Hiroto: "...for breaking the laws of Windenburg and the Windenburg Church, of which you were the head, by committing bigamy and taking Lady Adelheid von Hollebein and Ms. Isabella Bray to wife, despite the fact that you already had one lawful wife, Queen Agathe Lofton..."
King Cesare Colona: "...for forcing your daughter into a dangerous pregnancy, which cost her her life..."
Queen Genevieve Pelletier: "...for the attempted invasion of Brindleton Bay..."
King Ivan De La Cru: "...for the murders of Prince Rauli Montero, Eduard Humphrey, Earl of Sawborne, Wendelin Humphrey, Duke of Whitland, Jean-Paul Yang, Viscount of Grayside, Terry Harden, Earl of Culpepper, Lord Malcolm Landgraab of Oasis Springs, and Crown Princess Martha Lofton-Strauss..."
Tsarina Ekaterina: "...and various other crimes too numerous to mention, this court finds you Guilty, and sentences you to three consecutive life sentences in solitary confinement at Imperial Mountain Prison. You forfeit any and all titles you hold, have held, or might hold by right of inheritance, for you and your heirs. What do you have to say for yourself?"
Mr. Lofton: "I am the greatest Emperor Windenburg has ever and will ever have! My name will live on in the history books, and this feable attempt to crush what I have built, will only be a blip in my story!"
Tsarina Ekaterina: "That's nice. There is one more thing, however, before you are dismissed, if you would please take your seat again... Prince Jonas, the court calls you back up to the stand..."
Ho-ly shit... now that was the most satisfying thing we may have ever seen. Victor just had his punishment handed down to him by each and every judge seated at that table- a congregation of the world's most powerful leaders, reducing him to nothing. Many of us have waited a long, long time for that one, and yet somehow, three life sentences still doesn't feel like quite enough.
But now the mystery is... why is Prince Jonas being called to the stand again? What could possibly be happening now?
This weekend, HRH Princess Adriana and husband HH Captain Samson Glenn, Marquess Fielmont, rushed to the New Moon Palace, where they were given a private birthing chamber and the Royal Doctors, as is tradition in the Newcrest Royal Family.
All things went smoothly however, and after several hours of waiting, TMs King Cesare and Queen Misha got to meet their first grandchildren!
The birth of these two twins makes HIM Dowager Tsarina Nadia, Misha's mother, and HRH Prince Alfonso, Cesare's father, great-grandparents! Misha and Cesare themselves have stated previously how uncomfortable they are with being grandparents already, but with two out of their five children already married, what more did they expect? Of course, Misha was the first of the Imperial children to have babies, so it comes as no surprise that the child most like her (Adriana also eloped like her mother and father before her) is following in her footsteps yet again.
Now, without any further ado, Fielmont Manor is proud to introduce:
Lady Charlette Antoinette Glenn, after her paternal grandfather, Major Antoine Glenn of the Imperial Army.
And...
Lord Cosimo Cesare Glenn, Earl of Wildridge, the title and estate a gift from his grandfather and namesake, King Cesare.

HRH Princess Lucrezia graced the cover of a magazine yet again as the face of Veronica's Secret, this time as lead model for the company's coming Summer Swimsuit Line.
The photos aren't nearly as scandalous as the Princess' debut for the lingerie brand, but still, people have not stopped talking about the shoot.
The swimwear line, titled "Through The Years," includes a variety of pieces, all inspired by different decades of fashion, and though none of the pieces show much more than any royal has been seen in before, somehow, the spread has garnered a lot of controversy.
TM King Cesare and Queen Misha, who are usually silent on the matters of their children's life choices, have made the decision to speak out to their daughter, asking her to choose a more modest career, as third in line for the throne. Lucrezia herself did not comment.
Others around the Empire and Newcrest have said that they love that the princess has taken up modeling. And though they acknowledge that modeling luxury clothing is not what most would call "normal," they say that its much more attainable than the normally high pedastles the Royal Family usually places themselves on.
HIH Prince-Consort Matthew Norton hosted a Fundraiser Ball last night in honour of the Imperial Hearts Hospital, of which he is a patron, in order to help the hospital fund their new Cardiac Specialty Wing.

HRH Princess Lucrezia Colona brings her boyfriend, movie star Alex Knight, as her guest. Many fans of the couple have been wondering- is there an engagement on the horizon? The couple has been dating since the Princess was in high school, and now that HRH is about to graduate from university, many have been wondering when they'll make it official.

Princess Francesca has graduated with a Distinguished Degree in Economics with Honors from Foxbury Institute, with the goal to climb the ladder within the Tsarina's Environmental Impact Initiative, and eventually find her way to CFO of the operation.
