Violet: Woodland Creatures

17 June, 1348. Magdaline Castle, Islia.

The events to commemorate Prince Leo's birthday had been the favourite conversation topic of the courtiers for weeks. He was turning one and twenty, a significant milestone. His doting mother was determined to celebrate for the entire day and night.

The king seemed less enthusiastic but probably knew better that to challenge his wife on the matter. Only a fool would try to get between a mama and her favourite boy, Violet pondered sulkily as she remembered her own mother's nonstop fawning over Abel.

Then again, she had to grudgingly admit that despite her favouritism for her eldest, Queen Celia was a warm and loving mother to all of her sons, and they all seemed to adore her in return. She was especially soft on the two youngest boys, who were constantly creating mayhem.
