The peace that formerly reigned in Terra Nova has eroded, now little more than a memory. War ravages the continent. Disputes divide kingdoms; ideals divide families. The quest for power consumes absolutely and indiscriminately. None are immune to its allure.
Who will rise and who will fall? Only time—and ambition—will tell.

Change in how times flows. Was 4 IC seasons, now only 2 IC seasons per 1 OOC year.
5 whole years of Heir Apparent goodness! When I started the site, I knew I was hunkering down for the long haul, but I never could have predicted the numerous twists and turns this roleplay site has seen. Hundreds of plots, characters, and members have come and gone, all leaving marks on the site. I am so very thankful for those who have invested. Because you keep coming back, keep getting on, and keep writing, Heir Apparent has the legacy it does today. Three cheers to us!
To say that she was feeling tense from pregnancy, she been having restless night last night and she been getting leg cramps. Val feel sensitive in her emotions she doesn't know if it to do with her being tired all the time, leg cramps or the lack of training she been doing so she been feeling useless. She been tormenting her self by going to to military wing and watching the soldiers training today.
However she needed to get home as she was feeling like she wanted a snack, something to munch on. So she started to look around the house but there wasn't really anything she fancy. Val was getting slightly annoyed with herself. but there nothing she can do so she went to her and Keir's room and started to pace there to calm down but she got a leg cramp all of a sudden and she knocked into a table that knocked a vase of the table and it broke.
"No, No." Val dropped to her knees and started trying to pick the pieces up from the floor. there was a small bump nothing massive but kneeling over it can be slightly seen. "Keir can't see this." She tries to hurry up to pick it up.

Keir was in his study, he had been working on finalizing an order for things to be ready for the babies room while balancing the next seasons shift duty for the Royal Guard. Things were escalating within Nevermere, war and babies seemed to have the mans plate full. It was the crashing that brought Keir's head up from work, "Val is that you?"
He got up from behind his desk and made for the bedroom, pushing the door open he saw his wife and a broken vase, "What happened? Val here let me get this, get up from the floor please," Keir would at first kneel down to offer his hand and help her up before squatting again to pick up the broken vase pieces, "you really should call for a servant love, getting down in the floor and all isn't good for you or the baby."

Oh now he heard her she tried to hurry up to clear the vase up she think she cut her head a little bit but her eyes drifted up and then back to the broken Vase. "I am sorry dear. I am sorry, it was my fault." She was picking up pieces and placing it on the table. When Keir knelled by her Val stopped and looked at him for a moment as she placed her hands in his as she stood up and she sat on the bed.
Val look at him softly. "I know. You just loved that vase and I just feel so clumsy of late. I do not what to loose you. Unable to train I feel useless, this is the last thing you need." Her voice was soft as she explained she felt like with her hormones feels unchecked with the pregnancy. she sees this man who she loves in front of her.

Keir gave a reassuring smile, "I liked the vase, aye, but I love you," he ushered her again out of the floor and sat beside her on the end of their bed taking her hand, "you aren't useless, you are taking on the growth of our child and earning a new title of Motherhood wear that like a badge Val. You also aren't going to lose me, banish the thought I know it's just what's going on with your body and mind with our child in you....you are sacrificing so much for me doing this. I'm not going anywhere..."

Val, looked at him, her mind going a million miles per hour, her thumb brushing Keir's knuckles. "Keir?" Closing the gap between them and resting her forehead against his. Looking down as she want to hold onto him and hold this moment forever. Something been biting at her. "Before our wedding day, I mat up with a friend of mine. They explained how they remember seeing you around the midnight house. i told them it doesn't matter and it still don't, that I trust you, that you are faithful." She turned his hand over and traced the scar from where his cut. "The day I fall in love with you is the greatest day of my life and I will stand by you through it all."

Keir didn't physically recoil at the question but his gut lurched forward, "ah," he wouldn't lie, after all marriage, "Yes for sometime I did visit the Midnight House," but she needn't know anything else, "The owner, I was friends with him, Ravin Tracy. I haven't been in years, I can promise you that."
He had been cautious even as a young man, sort of, he knew he was at least disease free didn't have anything transferred over sexually related.

"I know." There was a part of her that felt horrible that he didn't tell her before. However, there was a sense of thankfulness that he was honest with her. "Thanks for being honest, love." She ran a hand through his hair. taking in the smell of parchment from his office, where he was working. "How the paperwork coming along? it is stressful time with the Dresmondi here and what's looming?" With the possibility of war she seeing the incentive for people to join. The increase in training, it only means one thing.

Keir felt honesty was always the best policy, plus he believed those days were long behind him and what a stain on a man's record and family had he continued going and that little secret ever got out. With the subject change Keir took a moment to breathe, "So much paperwork unfortunately," he half smiled, he had his fears about the prospect of where the increase in military padding was leading, "but it hasn't been stressful as one would believe, but I do believe we are heading for war. I trust the King and we have the world's greatest military to boot, liberating Dresmond from those barbarians will add another boon to the kingdom."

"it does seem like it might be heading that way." Sighing softly. Tracing Keir's knuckles she was worried about her dad and Keir like a part of her don't want them to go out and fight, thankfully Keir a royal guard so he will be more then likely where the royal family needs him, however who knows With Hadrian, glad he that he a captain commander, though they was a part the fear if he was needed, he might pick up the sword. "Plus we do have my dad as captain commender. Do you want to talk about what stressing you dear?"

Keir wouldn't truly share what it was that was stressing him out he couldn't add that stress on her because with the leaning of war Keir was sure she was thinking about it too. He wouldn't go to his Father in law either not when there was possibly other men in his position: married and expecting, they would get their call and go to fight for their kingdom and loved ones. He was a Royal Guard and a Delaney, he had duties and honor, he could never shy away from those things even if he didn't see combat in what was to come Keir had a duty to protect his King and the future of his wife and children.
"Nothing is stressing me love, I worry how you'll be if I go," he fully took her hand in his, "I'm a glad though you can't go...I know you want to but for this one selfishly I am glad."

Looking at his face for a moment, if he does go, the life as a soldier. She doesn't want to be worried because she love this man and he a Delaney. He was trained to be a soldier, he was trained for this, but there was a part of her heart that want him to be safe, home. "Do not be worried, if you do go. Just try and get back home to us." Back to her and their baby, to their family.
Laughing softly, "I do want to go and fight, to help the Dresmond. But I am glade that I am not to."
