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!
They were wise words indeed from the young Prince, and Keion felt a bit of genuine pride for the boy. Cyrus had raised him well, indeed.
Keion had started rubbing at the stubble on his chin, thinking and chewing over everything. "Have you spoken to anyone else about this?" he asked at last. "Perhaps if you garner enough support within the Cabinet and among the others in your circle, you could present enough of a collective voice to have the Queen step down."

"Only you," Akagi wasn't going to mention that the King of Nevermere had brought the subject currently in discussion first, "I have sat on the thought for a while now but so far only you know, I came to you first because I, as you know, respect and appreciate the opinions of the Blackwood family. Especially yours, I want you in my corner from this point on Keion. I have a few ideas of some council members I can approach and hopefully garner their support, I'd like for you to do the same."
Though their conversation was quite serious, Keion was smiling on the inside. If he could push the Prince into acting upon his desires to take the throne and be "in his corner," then the Blackwoods would have the ear of the ruler of Arynn Frey. The family would have influence in Arynn Frey once again.
Keion found himself nodding, "Of course, we would support you." Another thought came to him, and he hummed quietly. "You know, Blackwoods have always held a position within the Cabinet, and the Council before that. But with Cyrus having gone missing, that is no longer true. Perhaps it is time I seek out a position within the Cabinet, especially if it will help you in the end."

"Yes, yes you should, I fully support that friend," Akagi done had plans if he took the throne to not only appoint @calanthe to the cabinet but, "As a matter of fact it would be my agenda to appoint not only you to a role within the Cabinet but also Calanthe."
Keion blinked once, slowly, before saying, "Calanthe? I didn't know you had any connection with my niece." He slipped into a more genuine, proud tone. Maybe he needed to have a chat with his dearest niece. It was up to him to grant their Blackwood names now, after all, and another connection to the throne for the family would be a useful asset indeed.
"She is quite young, you understand. I wouldn't wish anything to disrupt her studies. But if you believe she is ready for such a high position, then I would also support that decision."

"We are getting ready to start a project together and a few times traded critiques for critiques," Akagi admitted, not that he had ever hidden this fact it just never had brought up, "She's talented and creative, she has a very bright future but yes studies should always come first I always say," he had probably said this twice but he stood by it, "We'll discuss this further in the future, thank you for not only for the support Keion but for your guidance...if there isn't anything else friend I'd like to part busy times of lobbying are a head."
Keion's eyes warmed even more at the praise towards his niece from the Prince and he dipped his head in acknowledgement. "Yes, she's quite intelligent. I see her taking after her Uncle Evander as far as scientific study goes."
At the obvious dismissal, Keion nodded again and rose, "I won't take anymore of your time then. Do let me know if there is anything else you need from me or from the Blackwood family." With that, he would leave the Prince to his plotting and studies.
