From left to right: HM the Queen Mother of the Windenlands, Lilian; HM the Queen Consort of the Windenlands, Katherine; HM the King of the Windenlands, Edward IV. Picture taken at the front of the Windenburg Castle, their main residence, as they were leaving to go to a event. In this very same appearance, Queen Katherine announced her pregnancy to the paparazzi. Something that wasn't welcomed by the media and the Queen Mother.

Lilian: How many times do I have to say this to you? Don't talk to the paparazzi!
Katherine: They wouldn't stop asking about my pregnancy! They already knew, what's the problem with saying what everybody already knows?
Lilian: You don't have the right to do that, young lady!
Katherine: It's my child and my freedom you're talking about!
Lilian: That's your mistake, Katherine! You still think you have power over your freedom, over your desires... Over your life. Your body and soul belongs to the nation now.
Katherine: That is not fair, I said yes to your son because I love him and I thought...
Lilian: You thought you could change things. I warned him about this and yet he chose to continue with the engagement.
Katherine: You approved the engagement and blessed the union in name of the late King...
Lilian: Yes, I did it for him. To avoid any kind of scandal in these primary years. I thought you would realize that two centuries of tradition would'nt be changed because the Queen wanted to!
Katherine: I will change things. It is unffair with us, we shouldn't need to give up our lives just for joining a family. My child should'nt come to this world with such a burden to carry!
Lillian: Every consort has tried to change the Crown and we failed. You will fail aswell, Katherine. And don't you ever think about taking the burden out of the heir you're carrying, that's your only job in this family!
Katherine: I will do wh...
Edward: Mother? (in the hall) Kath?
Katherine: How could you say such thing about your family?
Lillian: Smile, Your Majesty. The King must be happy.
They both smiled when he arrived.

A different type of post this one, huh? Well, I might change the way I post scenes with dialogues. I just didn't wanted to let this die project after only one post, so this is what I could get to introduce this royal family. I also just builded my new pc so I had to reinstall everything and the Reshade wans't one of them yet.
About this post: Mainly to introduce the Royal Family of the Windenlands. This country includes Windenburg, Henford-On-Bagley, Ravenwood, San Sequoia, Willow Creek and is currently in growing tension with the Kingdom of the Oasis for the Chestnut Ridge territory. It also highlights the main plot for this phase of the project: The difficult relationship´between the grieving Queen Mother and the fearless Queen Consort. Two queens with strong personalities and different views of how things should be managed. In this starting point of the story it's been 14 months since the death of the late King Arthur and 7 months since Edward's coronation. A royal baby is on the way. Edward is completely lost with all his duties and family issues. So, who will be the first to break?
