Round 2 in the Roth Family Secondary Branches living in Whinmore. A Part of my Royal Kingdom Challenge for the Sims 2

1. The Kingdom of
Avonlea
Chapter 14: The Roth Family (Secondary Branches)

2. In the province of Whinmore Pony Roth was spending
the morning with her daughter Marian. She loved that
the little girl had inherited her pointed ears.

3. As an only child of a noble family, Marian could be
considered a bit spoiled, however Pony and Bedwyr did
their best to make sure they didn’t go too overboard with
doting on her.

4. Goodness knows they didn’t want her to
turn out like Lady Whendland or Bedwry’s
sister.

5. Pony did her best to play nicely with Lady
Brittany, but honestly she hated having the
miserable woman over to the house each week.

6. She caused trouble overtime she came
over. Nimue absolutely loathed her
youngest son’s wife.

7. She absolutely refused to even sit anywhere near
Lady Sharlene or Lady Evinad. It was infuriating
having to police the entire social gathering.

8. That was the main reason she did her best to space out the
visits with Lady Brittany. The family gatherings without her
were just so peaceful. It was a shame the woman couldn’t
just stay home….why did she come over each time anyway?

9. Pony also found that getting bowed
to was a bit uncomfortable too.

10. At least she could lose herself in the new
zen garden Bedwyr had installed for her.

11. Bedwyr had recently taken a trip to a nearby kingdom.
He had thoroughly enjoyed the exotic bath houses.
But, he’d said the trip wasn’t the same without Pony.

12. Indeed Bedwryr and Pony were
still madly in love with another.

13. Even though traveling abroad together was currently out of
the question, the two still found time to visit game houses in
Whinmore together. After all, the nanny was capable of
watching her for a short time. A very short time, but still…

14. Perhaps if she were a bit younger, she’d
be better able to keep up with a very
active Marian.

15. Well, at least Marian appeared to be pretty
independent and able to take care of herself
some too without getting into to much mischief.

16. It would also seem that Marian would be
an only child, which neither Pony or
Bedwry minded too much.

17. Bedwyr and King Thorin remained on good terms, though
naturally he was not as close to the royal family as his older
brother or others within the kingdom. Which was fine.
Bedwyr and Pony quite liked the quiet serenity of Whinmore.

18. Even Lady Nimue seemed to find the quiet community a
nice change of pace. She and Caius were becoming quite
frequent visitors…as long as Brittany could be avoided.

19. Though, they couldn’t rightly avoid her entirely. She was
married to the youngest Roth after all. Amir really had
drawn the short end of the stick in this arrangement.

20. If Nimue had realized what an unpleasant little vixen this
Brittany was going to turn out to be, she would have highly
encouraged Caius to find some way out of making Amir
marry her.

21. The girl wouldn’t even spend time with her
sons! What kind of woman didn’t want a
son?

22. And the fact the tart had Amir doing the cleaning like
some kind of household servant, irked her even more.
Amir did it all in stride of course, such a good lad.

23. What Nimue did not know however, was that Amir seemed
to be one of the few people in this world who seemed to be
able to put a smile on Brittany’s face. It was a rarity, and
rarely was it a full smile, but it was something.

24. He was one of the few people who knew just how much
Brittany enjoyed music. He’d made special arrangements
to take her to the newly restored theatre and gotten them
the best seats in the house.

25. Britttany though didn’t see how she had all that much to be
happy about. She’d been given the smallest and most run down
part of her family’s estate in spite of being the heiress. She’d
been passed over to run Whinmore in favor of a foreign man by
her king, and now her little brother already had 2 daughters while
she had none.

26. But Amir was right, she had gotten pregnant again right
away. It didn’t matter she’d had a son first, this one could
be the heiress she wanted and needed to reclaim some of
her lost dignity.

27. Although she really wished Amir hadn’t befriended the
disgraced Eustace Scrubb. Though with everything that
had come to light recently, perhaps Eustace wasn’t as
guilty as he’d been portrayed.

28. Well she supposed it didn’t really matter
too much in the grand scheme of things.

29. She supposed she could try a bit harder to get along with
everyone. But really, everyone had always seemed to hate
her no matter what she did, but for Amir’s sake she’d try.

30. At least with Pony it wasn’t
going too horribly.

31. And she did still have her garden to
escape too. That Gable man’s advice had
actually proven to be quite helpful.

32. Things were looking up for her at last, she told
herself over and over, but if she was being
honest she didn’t really believe a word of it.
