2. My small kingdom is starting to grow, my people are beginning to settle in and start
their lives. I have also procured a venue business for the kingdom where the people can
come to generally socialize with one another. It does not have the same grandeur as my
father’s did but soon as my people begin to move in I hope that it will take off.
3. After talking to my sisters, they and I felt it was a good time to get to know the people who live
here, both the ones I brought with me from Maladoreias and the Townies whom I am told are a
race of nomads that wander the lands. I am hoping that some of my Peasants will give them a
chance to be part of Arkadia; with such a small amount of Maladoreians the gene pool will need
some bolstering if this kingdom is to survive. I have authorized the ability to change classes for
my people, if certain conditions are met then having new blood in the gene pool is most assuredly
secured.
4. Some of them do have the most amusing anecdotes to share with their king, I got to
know Benjamin here from my venue. He is part of the nomad’s security force, it
would great if one of my Peasants took a liking to him. I need more people for the
royal police and armed force. Connor has assured me that once the time is right he
will take up the mantle that his father wore as my military advisor and I am confident
that under his leadership, this kingdom’s security will be in good hands.
5. I also met a representative of the local Magi group while at my venue, her name is the
Infallibly Good Witch Jaime. Family names are not important to the Magi, since once
they begin to follow the path, they become part of the larger family of White Magic. She
warned me of the dangers and temptations of the Dark Magic family and I have had the
displeasure of meeting the High Witch of that side more than once at my venue.
6. I was surprised to see Connor and my sister Jennifer sharing such a public display of
affection at my party. It seems that I will have a meeting with him asking for her hand
in marriage coming up sooner than I had anticipated. It is good to see one of my
sisters happy, I only have to wait for another proposal for Anne then I can begin my
own search for a queen. Although I am afraid such a search will yield little results as
the proper marriage potentials for a king are limited to Nobility or other Royals.
7. They will be happy together, Connor is a good man.
8. Princess Jennifer is in love with Connor. I am satisfied with her choice. He will provide
her with everything she needs and deserves as a princess. And when they begin to have
children, Connor has three sisters whom will be there to assist her. For I would not
know what to do as a prince and a man, it was not something I had to learn about.
******
9. As per the prince’s request, I Connor Prescott am charged with the duty of recording my
family’s progress in Arkadia. After the prince’s party I had fallen in love with Princess Jennifer,
when I got back home my sisters were thrilled that I had found someone. I still had to formally
ask for her hand in marriage so I asked the prince to come over so I could. He was more than
willing to let me have Princess Jennifer, I suspect he knew that I was going to ask him when he
came over.
10. I had to promise on pain of death that I would protect her and put her needs and happiness before
my own. Which of course I was willing to do already, but you know, formalities must be observed.
Father would be so proud of me, marrying into the royal family was a dream he had always
wanted for his children. I’m sure he expected it to be Catherine who married in since Catherine
was never shy about her affections for the prince. She may still get the chance, the kingdom is
aware that Prince Nemo wants his sisters taken care of before he finds a queen.
11. Now that I had permission from the prince, all that was left was to ask the princess
herself. Catherine witnessed my proposal while Delilah made drinks to celebrate. I had
commissioned a wedding chapel to be constructed on our property in anticipation of
the event. It would provide a good place for any children of my sisters or myself to
marry in.
12. We planned it right for when we knew we would have the best turnout of guests. In
attendance was Princess Anne, Clara Van Braun, Abigale Crane, Prince Nemo, the
representative of the White Magi High Witch Jaime, and a work friend of mine from the
nomadic tribes Matthew Picasso.
13. Although none of them could figure out that the benches were there for them to sit
on. Instead they stood single file to observe our nuptials.
14.
15. Once the rings were exchanged, Princess Jennifer Solidore became Princess Jennifer
Prescott, and I earned the title of Duke Connor Prescott first of my name. Our
children would be both Noble born and Royalty. Of course gods be willing that none
of them should ever be called to rule because of something unforeseen happening to
the prince.
16. After a bit of socializing with our honoured guests we can then consummate the
marriage. Hopefully it will mean my first child will soon be on their way. Our child
will be the first one born in Arkadia, that alone seems to be a worthy honour.
17. Jennifer: Who made the cake?
Connor: My sister Diana, since there is no bakery in Arkadia yet. Diana is a
wonderful chef.
Jennifer: Well, we can change that. Businesses are what help a community to
grow.
18. Connor: Ladies first.
Jennifer: Wow, that is delicious. What does she call this?
Connor: Petal berry flavour, I believe it was.
Jennifer: She should open a bakery.
19. Prince Nemo: So you are part of the royal guard?
Matthew: Well we aren’t called the royal guard, not yet anyway.
Prince Nemo: Duke Connor has assured me that the nomads will be joining the royal
guard once he is General.
Matthew: I just work in mid level management, I don’t know what the Duke’s plans are.
He doesn’t tell us.
20. Princess Anne: So you made this cake? It is fabulous.
Diana: Yes I did. I thought it would be a good way to be a part of my brother’s wedding.
I’d like to own a bakery some day.
Princess Anne: Well my brother is encouraging small business growth, perhaps Connor
will buy a lot for you.
21. Princess Jennifer: I am getting a lot of praise for your cake Diana. Have you ever thought
of making them for others?
Diana: As I was telling your sister, I would like to. But women cannot own properties,
maybe you could convince your brother to change that law?
Princess Jennifer: Prince Nemo has that power and he does listen to me, I could ask him.
Diana: Would you? Oh that would be wonderful!
22. Connor: Finally we have a moment alone…
Princess Jennifer: I have never done…this before.
Connor: Neither have I, that is the beauty of marriage we can experience it
together.
23. Princess Jennifer: Is that music normal to hear?
Connor: I think so, I mean my father never told me what to expect after this.
Princess Jennifer: Seems we all have missed getting some rather important life lessons
from our parents.
Connor: There was nothing we could have done to prevent that disaster…we will have to
make due on our own.
24. Princess Jennifer: I guess he was right, well whatever may come child know
that we will be here to help you in the ways our own parents could not. But
even we may never know what mysteries await, like why my hair is suddenly
black…
25. Connor: Looks like we will need to commission an extension to be built on to
the house. Or perhaps another storey.
Princess Jennifer: I think that would be lovely. I did enjoy sharing a room
with my sister growing up, but maybe this child will want their own space.
Connor: That can be arranged.
26. Princess Jennifer: Are you checking up on me little brother?
Prince Nemo: Maybe, I heard you were with child. The first one to be born in
Arkadia. Are you doing well?
Princess Jennifer: I’m fine, I am well taken care of here. Come inside won’t
you?
27. Princess Jennifer: So while you are here, Diana has told me she wishes to open a bakery
but women cannot own properties. Can you do something to change that?
Prince Nemo: I would be happy to, unfortunately until we have someone in the Business
career I would be adrift in knowing what to do. I just do not have enough experience to
know what the laws are concerning that.
Princess Jennifer: You make the laws, you are the prince.
28. Prince Nemo: I know I do, and I wish father had the time to explain every detail of
running a kingdom to me but he did not. Until then I want to have advisors who know
what I do not. Making an informed decision is the best course of action, I am not informed
in that matter.
Princess Jennifer: Well wasn’t Darius Van Braun in business? Does Emmet have any
desire to carry that on?
Prince Nemo: I do not know, I will have to ask him when I see him.
29. So the decision on that was left alone for the time being, not to long afterwards my
wife would have other things on her mind. When I got home, she told me everything
that she had discussed with the prince. I can get the property for Diana myself when
I have the funds in which to procure it. The second storey addition I had built for my
baby has severely depleted what money I had left from my father. I remember this
from when my sisters were born, and like back then I have no idea what I am
supposed to do.
30. Catherine: Déjà vu, right dear twin?
Connor: Yes, it is.
Delilah: What do we do?
Diana: Just watch, nothing else we can do.
31. Princess Jennifer: You really are a clone of your father aren’t you little one?
Connor: Well?
Princess Jennifer: This is your son Jason. The first one born in Arkadia.
Connor: I have a son?
32. Princess Jennifer: Let’s hope you at least got my ears my son. You look so
much like your father.
The first child born of generation three is a boy, let’s hope he starts a trend.
33. Delilah: Father would be so proud big brother.
Connor: I know, I wish he could have met his grandson.
Delilah: Jason, a fitting name for the first explorer of this new land.
Connor: Indeed. He will have great adventures.
34. The day my son was born was truly the happiest of my life, right next to marrying his
mother. My legacy and my name are secured but I would like to have more children in
the future. Having siblings around is what has helped me to survive this change and
the move to a new land. My son should know that same sense of unity.
35. I also hope that he will have many cousins to play with as well, finding husbands for my
sisters is going to be challenging. But I know I am ready for anything now.
******
36. I finally got through the first two weeks in the rotation. So far I’ve only finished
building houses for the other two Nobles, I have five more to go.
And in case you didn’t notice, there was a reason for the shortness of the Solidore week,
they didn’t do much. Also I am thinking that before all the Noble houses end up related
and I get stuck with stagnate genetics now is a good time to get some new blood into
Arkadia. Yes, I am referring to yet another Bachelor Challenge. This time for Prince
Nemo since I really have no clue who to pair him with.
Details will be posted soon, I still have to get through the first rotations of the families I
have already before I go making another bachelor house. Some preliminary details are
that I prefer Noble born females from other RKC’s or BaCC’s who have some sort of
background already established. I like to use back stories in my own so whoever wins
Prince Nemo I’ll be asking to use their girl’s history in Arkadia.
I am going to use Chase’s modified RKC rules, once I get more familiar with the careers
that are open and who can take them. Connor is sticking with Military regardless
because, plot. Anyway, thanks for reading.
