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!
A part of her was happy to be home, however, she was worried about the Queen, her husband is dead, she needed a friend at the moment in time, however right now the kids are her main priority. The kids of course are asking questions about when they are seeing their parents.However she is unable to tell them. Valeria has to be strong for them.
Now and then she looked at little Lorelle, a weight now is placed on her shoulders at way to young of age. she was currently watching the kids. Lorelle was drawing, well Kato was having a nap. Valeria was making sure that the kids were happy, well fed, rested and distracted for the time being. She asked for the commander to see if he have five minute to visit. She doesn't even know if he know that Akagi is dead. So she know he is going to be stressed about that.
When he arrived he will noticed that his daughter trying to put the typical face where a grown up put a happy face on, but in reality they are hiding stuff. "you are getting really good at drawing." Val smiled at the Lorelle/ She been amazing somature for her age.

The king of Arynn Frey was dead. The reality hung heavy around his shoulders like a leaden blanket. It was the queen of Lorendale that had delivered the news. Had described in detail through tears what it was to see the life leave the Arynnite’s body. The king of Arynn Frey was dead. Whoever would be next?
He went to the room where he knew his niece was minding the children. It was no small feat, Hadrian was sure. Lorelle was a notoriously difficult child—prone to tantrums, fits of anger, however well her mother Ophelia tried to hide it. Ophelia. The little witch that had once been Nevermere’s darling, it’s prize flower, now a widow so young…
Hadrian knocked at the door before entering. When he saw Valeria, he smiled immediately shutting the door behind him.

As soon as Val heard the knock a part of her stood up and stood in front of the kids. A military stance, you can take the girl out of the military but she will always have a soldier's heart. Plus on top of that she has the heart of the mother. So that makes her more protective however when she noticed that it was her dad. How the body relaxes to a point. She was still aware that an eldouir could just decide to attack nevermere.
"Dad." She give him a warm daughter. She looked towards the side of the room away from the children. Cause even though she was talking to her dad, she was still working. Hadiran knows more then anyone that she takes her work series and she was told not to say anything to the kids. walking over to the side of the room where she can still keep a close eye on the kids but far enough that hopefully they can't hear.

Hadrian looked her over. Valeria had been evacuated quickly, but paternal affection still made him worry. He followed where she indicated, and walked toward the side-room away from the children after calling in a nursemaid to look after them. Once the side-room door closed, Hadrian exhaled a long side.
“The king…” Hadrian said slowly, “King Akagi. He is dead.” There was no easy way—might as well cut straight to it.

Valeria sighed softly at the news, it was true, Cordelia Olivarius informed her that something had happened but to not tell the kids. She thought about Ophelia. She must be finding this hard. A part of her wanted to be there to make sure the she was safe, however, she was asked to come here with the Children. "Any news of Queen Ophelia? Is she safe?" She was of course very upset cause she imangen if Keir dies, her heart would be broken.
Valeria will know she will have to prep the kids to go back to Arynn Frey in mouning clothes.

“She is safe and in Arynn Frey,” Hadrian responded, “Much remains in flux. She’s asked that the children remain here for now, and you with them.” He sighed, shaking his head, “I can’t say I’m disappointed. It’s good to have you here. Safe.”

Valeria body relexed a bit when Hadrian explained she was safe. he explained that Ophelia wants her to stay here with the kids for now. "I am happy that she is safe and if this is where she wants me with the kids then I will do that." She explained. However there is a softnessin val's eyes when Hadiran explained that he was happy that she was here, safe.
Placing a hand on his arm. "dad, i know you want me safe, but even as a lady-in-waiting there will be points where i will have to put my life in danger. I know you wanted me to step down from the military life for Ona. I will always have a military brain because you can takethe soilder out the military but you can never take the military out the soilder and with the Eldouirs roming round nobody is safe." She explained,.

Hadrian chuckled. Yes, he knew exactly what she meant. Being a soldier wasn’t something one simply turned off when they took of their armor. It was a way of life that they would never fully be rid of.
“There shouldn’t be…” He said with a sigh and a loving smile, “But such are the times that we live in.”
Post by Valeria Delaney on Aug 20, 2024 10:07:45 GMT -5
Valeria gave a soft smile to her dad. It shouldn't be this way. We should be able tp say that the citizenships are safe. However, if there was no war, bo conflict then there wasn't much a military to do. "Sadly it is the times we live it." She sighs softly. "How is Keir and Ora?" She is worried about her husband and daughter she misses them dearly and she does wish that she have her, then she can escape with her if the Eldouir does arrive but that just possibly a mother protectiveness.
She finally understand what hadrian feels over her. She looked towards the door and she thankful that the kids are distracted she went in for a hug."I truly appreciate you as a dad. I am so lucky to have you."

Hadrian smiled. He admittedly hadn’t seen Keir or the child in…a long time. A very long time. In fact, when had he seen them last? No matter, he wouldn’t indicate that now. He’d feign familiarity.
“Both well,” Hadrian said with a smile, “Lucky to have a father that cares for her so.” He was surprised by the hug, but hugged her back. In that moment, he felt ten years younger. Valeria felt like a girl again, one who needed him, that followed him about everywhere she could. But when he parted from her, the memory faded: for it was just that. A memory of a time gone by.
“I should go,” Hadrian said with a sigh, “And besides…” He looked sadly over to the door, “The children need you.”

Maybe it was a good thing he hasn't said anything about not seeing keir or orain a long time. She would get nervous something happened. So when he ex[lained they are well she relaxed,. "Keir is a good father to Ora, he lovesher dearly." She grinned. As she felt his arms around her. She will always need her dad, she might be a adult now, but he is her dad, she will always go to him for advice and if she is scared or sad, she knew that she could tell him/ Valeria will always be his little girl at times.
When he pulled away she sighs when he says he need to go. She straightened up. she looked towards the children/ "Stay safe." a hint of a solider saying it as well as a daughter.

Hadrian smiled, letting her go. Letting her go…Hadrian supposed that was a process he was still in the midst of. He released her back to the other room, to her duties, as he returned to his.
