Tertia : “You told me we were going for tea today!” 

Maxima: “We are! With the Queen! You know she has my favorite blend.”  

Tertia: “Ugh, she always tries to convince you to go back to that boring ass son of a-”

Esai: “Still think I’m boring sweet sister?” 

Maxima: “Esai! I heard you were back. Please... please forgive her, you know she does not mean what she says.” 

Esai: “I am sure. Anyway... so I guess it is mandatory tea for you as well then?”

Maxima: “I could not believe it myself. Like the great Mata? Wanting to see me? I guess she has been watching my work.”

Cira: “Grab a glass good children and gather round, it is time for the best part!” 

Tertia: “ooo, yes please.” 

Maxima: “You know I would love for you to be part of it. As a the future king I think it would go a long way with the priesthood if you were there.” 

TV Bria: “Terra. Thank you competing and good luck with all that you do. I know there’s a lot going on in your home country and family right now and I’m sure they need you. Go home, be with them, and make them all proud.”

Cira: “And that my friends is what happens when you do not buy your pearls from the Margariora! If she was wearing mine, the luster would have been so brilliant they would have had to keep her.”

Esai: “So who is the kid..? I am sure you had to know I would notice how much she looks like mata and I KNOW she is not mine.” 

Lupita: “No of course she is not. You have always been careful that way. Your brother though -”

Maxima: “His what?”

Lupita: “Well...umm... you see it if he had just come right back like I told him to... well it would not have been an issue but - “

Esai: “I am sorry but I find this rather unbelievable, Izan is far too young to have a child that size. He had to have been what? Fifteen summers tops?” 

Lupita: “Did you just forget how young your mater was when you came about? Some young ones just have a will of their own and no sense of responsibility.”

Lupita: “Frankly I am surprised you did not seek his help yourself for this. We both know he would know how to find him. Did you just think you could just handle it?” 

Esai: “I wanted to give Izan his time to come to terms with things on his own. I thought after a few days he would come back but I am also not sure I want to force him into this life if he does not want it.” 

Lupita: “It was the one he was given. Just like you, just like your sister, like your mata, like me - and even your Tati, despite his clear loathing for it. It is Izan’s responsibility to be there for his family and his people. Besides I know you need him most of all.” 

Esai: “I do not...well not in that way anyway. I have plenty of capable people around me that support me well. However it seems very clear that he needed me and because of your preference for secrecy I failed him. We all did and now he may never come back.”

Maxima: “So what is exactly going on in Viridis? Did something happen while you were there?” 

Esai: “Yeah... I mean it was kind of a whole thing.” 

Maxima: “Is it going to be a problem for us? Like I do not mean to put on my Tuni here but there have been a lot of accusations floating around.” 

Esai: “I would say it is more of a personal issue than a state matter.” 

Maxima: “Except for when we are talking about an interpersonal conflict involving two royal families and multiple notible nobili it IS a state matter.” 

Lupita: “Cira dear, would you please take the young ones out to the garden? I think they could use some air.” 

Author’s note: “Tuni” is the ceremonial name of the scarf Comi wear. It is featured in this post.

The Comi of Apricus (part one)

Ever since the great split between Apricus and Fideli roughly 200 years ago the ruling houses of Apricus have remained some of the most stable in the isles. Or rather, lacked the infighting a lot of the other nobili families across the isles display. This is usually credited to the fact that the oldest child of the current head of the family is always legally assumed to be the heir at birth instead of the normal electoral system seen in other great Sorori families. It has its drawbacks as it can be very hard to challenge an heir that may not be suitable for the job. 

As for their actual powers, they are considered a mouthpiece and protector for their territory. They do not get a hereditary seat in their parliament, instead they have a counsel that is more of an advisory committee for the "civilian” government. They are also expected to use whatever wealth generation they get from their production deals with the temple system to support social programs within their territories (which is the same in Viridis). There’s probably more to this I’m forgetting but this is enough. Anyway, let’s meet these folks. 

Crown Prince Esai Arman Ramone Aguilar Medani, Comi of Aurori

So yeah you know this guy. The Crown Prince of Apricus is usually invested as Comi of Aurori as soon as they reach their majority. It’s supposed to help them get used to holding a ceremonial office under the close eye of the other heads of house and the monarch. At 28 years old Esai has held the position now for about 11 years and his term is considered to be generally unremarkable (partially because his grandma and older members of the counsel think his ideas are a bit extreme).  

Maxima Edassi, Comi of Silvestri

Xima came to her position as comi two years ago after the death of her father. Before that happened there were a number of rumors that she and Esai were going to eventually go under contract and her sister would end up inheriting the seat instead but that never came to pass.  Before taking her position, she studied ecology at the International School in Viridis and now spends most of her time working to strengthen the protections on her sections of the Aprici Wildlands. 

Livan “Van” Violeti, Comi of Margarilla

The hereditary “Lord of Pearls” is easily one of the most influential leaders in the country. His family not only controls the majority of the chain’s main high luxury export - pearls, but also the multimedia company known as The Deluge Network. Pretty much all news media, print, digital, or televised goes through this company in some way. Diluvio (the main newspaper), and  Diluvinunci! (a daily news program) are directly and openly funded by him but Salve Sorori receives support through back door funding. He is rumored to be the richest man in the isles but as a lot of his holdings are private no one knows for sure.  On top of all this he is very close with the Queen, his wife Cira (lovingly called “Queen of Pearls” by the media) is one of her many noble companions, and their three daughters (including Onora) grew up in Esai’s highly cultivated childhood circle. 

Since these guys have a lot going on I’m stopping here so this won’t be overwhelming. There are four more but they have less story behind them so it probably won’t be as long.
