A Build a Royal Kingdom Challenge

ONCE UPON A KINGDOM

The kingdom of Hyperia has been growing, and so has the Political landscape. Lord Erian has

been climbing up the ranks of the political ladder, therefore getting his family one step closer to the

king. If he could become Hyperia’s first Mayor, then he would have direct access to the king and

a much better chance of making himself King Henry’s advisor.

However, his biggest rival is Lord Diamos, who has also been rising in the ranks. Not of the

political scene, but the Military one; he has a shot too at becoming the king’s advisor. And Lord

Erian will have to work harder if he is to usurp the Starr family as the king’s favoured and first choice for a spouse. Whosoever marries young

Prince Derek will be the next queen and have the most coveted position of power in the entire

kingdom. Lord Erian wanted to ensure that his daughter would be that next queen; not one of

the Starr’s daughters.

Lord Erian needed and edge to usurp his rival, luckily for him his wife was more than willing to oblige. Lady Amaya gave birth to another set of

twins.

Another son, Kira and a daughter Rangiku. Another son to carry on his family name and a daughter to offer to the king. Lord Erian was

pleased his wife bred well, he chose her wisely.

Erian knew that having his rival witness their birthdays would keep up pretenses and make him think they were still allied. What better way to

deceive a rival than to make him believe he was a friend? He was unsure of how much to tell his wife about his plans, the two of them

were friends; a fact that made Erian wary. He didn’t want her to ruin his ambitions and plans with her female weaknesses. Best to play it close to

the chest until it was time to reveal his plan.

His older children were crucial in ensuring the younger ones would know where they stood when the time came to make the move to power. If

Prince Derek did not choose Hinamori, then it would be up to his youngest Rangiku to take the lead. He would train his sons personally in matters of finance, politics, making the proper alliances, and how to handle rivalries for a plan. He would also make sure they knew how to run a household and select the proper mate which would increase their influence and

reputation in the court. Shuuhei showed promise in Architecture, if the way he knew how to put blocks together was any indication of his future

skill set.

Soon enough, his two youngest would be old enough to begin. He had plans to get them enrolled in the same private school as the

young princes were. He counted on the social whims of children to

do some of the relationship building necessary to further his plans for his ascent to the highly

coveted position of King’s Advisor. It was a failsafe in case he did not gain the favour of Lord Diamos.

The kingdom was flourishing, the fields were fertile and provided much needed grains, vegetables and live stock feed to keep the kingdom

through the harshest of winters. And while having farm land was essential, so was having a functioning barracks. It was on the top of the

list for Lord Diamos once he ascended to General, he planned to use some land to build a barracks for the kingdom’s soldiers to reside in. He had requisitioned a section of land near his property from the king and

was given permission to build there once he made it to General.

Lord Diamos was not wrapped up in climbing the Military ranks, that he forgot to make some time for his second daughter Lilly. She had his

beautiful purple eyes and her gorgeous mother’s hair and fair skin. Ani-Mei wanted to see Six of their Kids get Married and they had three

already. Lilly would not be the youngest for very much longer.

Dee: Come on Lil, say ‘daddy’.

Lilly: *blinks*

Dee: Teaching my other kids how to talk never took this long…I

know you have a lot to say baby, so tell daddy.

Lilly: *giggles*

Dee: This is gonna take a while…

Tyler, her older brother thought that maybe he could get through to his quiet little sister. His mother said something about 9 Outgoing points and

no reason for her to be so quiet, he had no idea what that meant.

Tyler: Mommy taught me this nursery rhyme, so maybe I can teach it to you Lil.

Lilly: Ga?

Tyler: Or not…this will be a challenge just like daddy said it would.

Lilly: *stares at walls*

Tyler: *sigh* I won’t give up, I’m going to get you to talk. I know it.

Tyler: The itsy-bitsy spider went up the water spout, down came the rain and washed the spider out. Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,

and the itsy-bitsy spider went up the spout again.

Lilly: Tyler…

Tyler: She spoke!! DADDY!! Lil spoke!! I’m her first word!!

Diamos: Way to go son!! Good for you!!

Ani-Mei: Don’t look so upset Dee baby, at least she speaks.

Dee: I wanted to be her first word. *pouts*

Ani-Mei: Well maybe this baby will want to say daddy as their first word.

Dee: Maybe…are you going to move? Or can I take your knight?

Ani-Mei: Yeah, yeah. Mr. Impatient…

Ani-Mei: Hold that thought!!! OWWW!!

Diamos: I never get tired of this!!

Ani-Mei: Grr!! DEE!!

Diamos: What? *grins*

Yes, triplets. I chose to give them three, for one because I

really would like to have a chapter with all kids for once

and two it was a lot easier to do it all in one shot and third, she

wanted six so she got them. Two boys and a girl. So Dee has

three sons and three daughters.

Then we got a genie. Dee could have his Perma-Platness too because his LTW is to be a Media Magnate and I need a population of 1000 to have that opportunity. Since at this point I’m not even in the triple digits yet,

he won’t be getting that without a genie. So here you go Dee honey, enjoy. *wink* (loopholes FTW)

As it turned out, Tyler had a real gift for painting. His parents’ portraits were a testament to his skill. If Tyler had one chance, he would want to become an Artist and fill the kingdom with his beautiful pictures and art

work.

Triple b-day!!

Dee was looking forward to seeing how gorgeous the last three of theirs would be, he could not think of anyone better to share a family and a

life with than Ani-Mei. She was always so good to him.

He named one son after his twin brother Dalen whom he had to leave behind when he came to Hyperia, his

daughter was given the lovely name of Rose and his youngest son was given the name Kyle. Kyle had his mother’s

bright blue eyes and his raven-coloured hair. The little boy was truly beautiful because he carried the very

best of both of them.

Like Lord Diamos, the house of Trace was well on the way to having peace of mind. Lord Thai

had managed to keep twelve lovers and his wife was none the wiser. He was nearly home free. Eight more and his dream would come

true.

Because Maia was far too engrossed in the prospect of having another child around to care what he was up to when her back was turned.

However he was not expecting this kind of surprise…

She birthed twins, another daughter named Dahlia and a son named Eric. His first son. Both have his dark hair and their mother’s eyes. His oldest, Kindle was due to have her birthday tonight as well; though she was not pleased to have the birth of her brother and sister on the same day as

hers.

Despite that, she knew she was still number one in her daddy’s heart. And now she got to be the boss of the little ones now too.

Having three kids already and yet another on the way, did not stop Lord Thai from making use of the matchmaker’s services to drop him Lover #13, Jan Tellerman though. The matchmaker only served the

Noble houses since most others were too poor to afford her services. And Maia remained blissfully unaware of his philandering; which suited

him just fine.

Sweet Kindle, shy little Kindle she had no desire to follow her

father’s path in life. Her desires led her to a more safe and

reasonable young boy, Shuuhei Kasumi. She liked Shuuhei a lot

and surprised herself by making a bold move in asking him to

dance. Kindle always dreamed of dancing the night away at some

lovely palace ball with a handsome young man waiting for her on the floor. Kindle was sure Shuuhei thought the same way about her, he always wanted to spend time with her. Kindle let herself dream of Shuuhei being

that young man who would sweep her off her feet and carry her

away to his palace.

The time soon came for her younger siblings to grow up. She looked forward to playing with them once they were old enough.

Now that they were older, Kindle could play with them. She wanted to teach them the same nursery rhyme she knew.
