So, I've been hooked on this Royal Simblr
I've been reading this Royal Simblr story called @simsroyallegacy and the story is just divine.
In the beginning, this story consisted of King Vincent of Lunaria, his wife Queen Ana, their three children, Crown Prince Arden, Prince Rhys, and Ashli, the Princess Royal.
Now, the character development has been thorough and constant throughout the story thus far, which I appreciate in a good story.
Now to give you the highlights of this story thus far (in no particular order)
Rhys has twin sons after a one-night stand with Hayleigh Gee, River and Sawyer. After he marries Princess Elle of Rivenia, she adopts the two children as her own, and they have a third child, Prince Matthew of Andale via a surrogate. After some strife within his family, at Elle's influence, they divorce and Rhys later goes on to marry an actress named Claire Jacobsen, in which they have a son named Prince Adrian.
Princess Ashli gets kidnapped by a bodyguard, but is thankfully rescued. She goes on to marry King Dante of Windsor, thus becoming Queen-consort. She goes on to have five children and helps her nephews, Sawyer and River, with an issue concerning the paternity of Eva Beauchamp-Quinn, Sawyer's daughter with his (now ex) wife, Lady Lila Beauchamp. (What a slimy woman)
King Vincent (or Ol' King Vinny) is happily married to the former-Lady Ana Harold, and celebrate their 60th birthdays together. Unfortunately, Queen Ana's health takes a turn for the worse, and she sadly dies, and the king's been getting older, and is getting ready to abdicate... which brings me to my favorite character...
Crown Prince Arden. The poor boy's a mess! 😨 He marries Lady Calliana Rousseaux, and they have three kids, Prince Nicholas, Prince Charles, and Princess Annaliese. They lived a happy life together and it seemed that they'd be crowned King and Queen of Lunaria... until tragedy strikes yet again when Crown Princess Calliana is stabbed to death, leaving Arden despondent and their children devastated.
Now four years pass after Crown Princess Calliana's death, and ol' King Vinny is preparing to abdicate. He and the Duke of Ely tell Arden that he needs to remarry in order to become king, (which when I read that, I thought of as complete b.s. but when I found out why, I still thought it was b.s. because fuck old politicians trying to control every facet of life, including royals' personal lives.)
This is where this one conniving... *coughs* broad comes in, who goes by the name of Lady Regina Harwood. She'll go to any length to become Queen of Lunaria, and even promised Arden she'd find Calla's killer.
But, the way she's going about becoming queen leads me to one conclusion... perhaps she was involved with Calla's murder. She was a potential marriage candidate until Arden met Calla, and after they married, Lady Harwood was out of his life, and after she died, was when she all of a sudden re-entered Arden's social circle.
Perhaps she conspired with the assailant to get rid of Calla... so she could be queen. (C'mon Detective Blue Pearl, shuddup! 🚨) But, that's just my speculation 😅.
Thank you @simsroyallegacy for the shoutout, I wasn't expecting Calla's ghost to appear, to be honest... when I saw that I was like "Holy shit!" 😯
All in all, I really enjoy the story and I wish I could collab with the Lunarian Royal Family, but alas, I only have The Sims 4 for PS4. 😭
That's my analysis of everything thus far, and simsroyallegacy if I missed anything, lemme know.

Valois Outreach Center Gala
Windenberg, Lunaria
Tonight, the rich and famous of Lunarian Society came out in support of the Valois Outreach Center which is an effort sponsored by the Pierreland Embassy to help with social outreach.
Among the Notable guests were Mr. Elliot Hampton and his wife supermodel Lisa Hampton. While Mr. Hampton rocked a classic black tuxedo, Mrs. Hampton wore a sleek black dress designed by PIerreland Designer Jacques Conde, who himself donated half a million simoleons to the Center. Mr. and Mrs. Hampton have reportedly donated several million simoleons to the center in support of its mission.
Next to arrive was quite a shocker, HRH Crown Prince Nicholas of Lunaria arrived solo while wearing a striking light blue tuxedo jacket to stand out from the see of classic black tuxes. Since the firm denial by Mr. Hampton of the Prince potentially proposing to a certain Rivenian Princess, HRH's arrival at an event hosted by his former flame has caused a stir. This is one of the few events we have seen the Crown Prince and Princess Minerva at that are not state events. HRH told reporters that he is here to support both a wonderful friend and an amazing cause. The Crown Prince has reportedly donated several million simoleons from his own personal funds to the project
A Royal Third wheel: HRH Crown Prince Nicholas was seen crashing a picture with his best friend and his wife. The pair have been more than gracious to allow the Prince to third wheel quite often.
Arriving right behind her older brother, HRH Princess Annaliese of Lunaria came to support her friend Princess Minerva. It is reported that the two Princesses are quite close and have swapped tips on every topic under the sun. Princess Annaliese has even reportedly served as a buffer between her brother and her friend so that Princess Minerva could spend time with her god daughter Princess Magdalena without boat loads of awkwardness.
Also arriving is HRH Crown Prince Alexios of Greecesim, who is a former beau of Princess Minerva. Prince Alexios is reportedly in Lunaria to help solidify plans for Princess Annaliese's upcoming visit.
One of the last people to arrive is the Marquis of Neuchâtel, who is best friend to HIH Princess Minerva and her private secretary. The Francesimian has also donated to the center.
The Three Amigos: A Princess needs a strong support system.
Last to arrive is the main representative of the Valois Outreach Center HIH Princess Minerva. The Princess stunned in a beautiful custom dress also from Jacques Conde. The Pierreland Ambassador paired silver jewelry an the ever present Heart of the Crown necklace. Many have noted the similarities in colors between the Princess and the Crown Prince of Lunaria with the hashtag #minicolas and #letminervalive trending in both countries as the public still would like to see the fairy tale play out but are also respecting that the Pierreland Princess is doing her best to put this behind her.

Minerva: Thank you Nicky...for the coffee. It's...it's been a while..
Nicky: Definitely, last time I saw you was at the Gala and you were quite busy...you are a hard woman to get a hold of
Minerva: Yeah...its hard to catch up when you have a calendar full of...everything. And what about you? I've heard your calendar is so full you have to schedule in your sleep....that's not healthy Nicky...
Nicholas: It's nice to be busy...and to hopefully give the press something else to talk about
Minerva: It's really gotten to you hasn't it
Nicholas: What do you think? It's like every time I'm seen with someone, the press starts rumors
Minerva: Well it is their job Nicky. They write about people like us to make a living...and you being the heir gives them a bit of a reason to try and find out who the future Mrs. Nicholas Quinn is. Speaking of the press Nicky...what were you thinking? To laugh at the suggestion of you proposing to Liz? At a wedding?
Nicholas: Do we need to talk about this?
Minerva: Yes, I think we do....it was so out of character for you Nicky...
Nicholas: What did you expect me to do? I repeatedly told her I couldn't be what she wanted! And then the press kept tying us together...plus it wasn't the first time it was suggested so I thought maybe humor would make it go away!
Minerva: I would've thought you would at least have the maturity and composure to remain dignified considering your role!
Nicholas: I was dignified! It was Elliot that said that-
Minerva: And you could've done damage control out there. Clearing it up so it wouldn't have blown back like it did. Did you even try to see the whole situation from her perspective Nicky? She had feelings-
Nicholas: Do not lecture me about perspective and feelings Minnie...not after what we've been through
Minerva: Which is why I'm surprised you didn't catch on sooner. She thought she had a shot and she took it. Granted, she didn't take what you said into consideration but could you blame her? She just wanted to hold on to a dream Nicky....
Nicholas: To what dream? To Love a man who can't love her? Who doesn't want to love her? I couldn't do that to her Minnie and she refused to listen-
Minerva: Nicky, the point is, You could've handled it better.
Nicholas: I will agree with you on that...it's just...I hate that part of my life seems to be what people are interested in. Can't they just...I dunno...look at my work...not at...one of my weakest areas in life....
Minerva: It isn't a weak part Nicky-
Nicholas: I still haven't moved on Minnie....something...something inside me can't do it.
Minerva: You'll be able to with time Nicky...You will find love again. I promise. With someone who will be worthy of you and Maggie.
Nicholas: I'm not making the same mistake twice Minnie. Not with Maggie at stake.
Minerva[awkwardly sips her coffee]: Good.
Nicholas[awkwardly]: Good

Palais de Roufort | 3pm
Minerva: Hey Nicky...you're missing the cake
Nicholas: Oh...I just need to take a bit of a breather...I ran into this portrait...I never noticed it before
Minerva: It's a personal favorite of mine. It was painted by Court Painter Jacque Cleme. One of his best portraits in my opinion.
Nicholas: Who are they? I thought I saw most of the portraits of Emperors of Pierreland last time I was here...this one seems kinda...out of the way...
Minerva: That's cause they aren't rulers of Pierreland. This is Prince Anthony and Grand Duchess Claire of Siene, my great grandparents. The portrait was undergoing maintenance at the Imperial Portrait Gallery.
Nicholas: Wow. They are...quite an attractive pair...I can see the resemblance. His eyes...really pull you in...its...comforting...he has your eyes...
Minerva: They were quite the couple, very much in love. Supposedly they met at a ball while they were both getting away from the noise...and they fell in love from there
Nicholas: They sound....very familiar...
Minerva: They...they were sort of the...romantic couple of the three children of Emperor Charles V. They were the other's person....I dunno..it feels weird for me to look at them...by my age they were already married with a kid...
Nicholas: Well it was different then...they probably met young, wed young....they didn't have as much to deal with as us
Minerva: Oh my Watcher...I'm sorry Nicky...I just...
Nicholas: That's okay. You needed some to let that out...I know you've held back speaking to me about it cause you worry about me...and I'm sorry about that
Minerva: I'm proud of you Nicky....I want you to know that..you've..really put things back on track
Nicholas: I'm glad I took your advice...it feels like life has almost all fallen into place...
Minerva: I'm happy for you Nicky. Really.
Nicholas: Do you ever think of-
Minerva: All the time Nicky...All the time...

Minerva: I need some air…
Nicky[to himself in the background]: There she is...And no Jerome! Perfect!
Nicholas: MINNIE!
Minerva: deep breathes Minerva….deep breathes….you can do this...one more hour-
Nicholas: Thinking about leaving early?
Minerva: Nicholas! I...I should-
Nicholas: Please don’t avoid me Minnie...I know you are...and it kinda...makes me feel bad..like I’ve committed a crime against you-
Minerva: I don’t mean to..its just...I need to protect myself
Nicholas: From what?
Minerva: From myself...from you.
Nicholas: I see….I know...I have not done everything to regain your trust-
Minerva: You are giving your daughter and your country the best version of yourself Nicky...that’s all I’ve ever wanted
Nicholas: Are you sure Minnie?
Minerva: Of course!
Nicholas[raises an eyebrow]: Are you sure?
Minerva[stammering]: I-I don’t know any more Nicky…[she closes her eyes as music starts to play] I don’t know what I want
Nicholas: How bout we start with a dance? You still are the best dance partner I’ve ever had.
Minerva[sighing softly]: Nicky..
Nicholas: Please Minnie? Humor me for one night and then we can keep playing this game we’ve been playing
Minerva: It’s not a game Nicky….Not to me…
Nicholas: Then tell me what it is?
Minerva: Survival...keeping my sanity...doing what is best for the bigger picture [music starts to swell]
Nicholas: Always so selfless
Minerva: One of us needs to be...there is more than two lonely souls at stake
Nicholas: I disagree
Minerva: Explain Nicky? Because this...idea of us...could cause...several international incidents...you are already linked with another foreign Princess...not to mention...the drama of it all...(takes a deep breath) Besides Your daughter needs someone who can teach her how to be the best version of herself-
Nicholas: And I think you would be the best teacher for her…
Minerva: Nicky, That part of us is over. You and I both know that...as much as we don’t want to admit it...We...the...idea of us comes with too much baggage...for both of us.
Nicholas: But-
Minerva: I’ll always be your friend Nicky, and I will always be there for Maggie, I may not be her first teacher, but I will help her. I promised you that.
Nicholas: I- I- [sighs] I know...I guess its just hard to-
Minerva and Nicholas: Change…
Minerva: We need to..get used to this...this is our life now. Us. As friends.
Nicholas: I agree...we just need to adjust….and maybe...hang out? Cause you are avoiding me, and last I checked...friends don't avoid each other...
Minerva: Yeah...Just let me know when...you and Ana are free, we could do something with the pups?
Nicholas: Absolutely.
Nicky: @simsroyallegacy

Is #minicolas back together?
After hearing about the news of Princess Elizabeth of Rivenia's departure, you'd think that Crown Prince Nicholas would you know...lay low...and not be seen with yet another foreign princess but you'd be wrong.
A student living in the Olde Towne area of Windenberg snapped a picture of what appears to be a coffee date between the Crown Prince and former flame Princess Minerva of Pierreland a few weeks ago. According to the student, the pair seemed to be in a very deep discussion and looked like they had just gone for a run. It is very common to see the Pierreland Princess and the heir to Lunaria's throne on seperate runs leading some to speculate that the pair have secretly reconnected in a romantic sense while also working on their cardio. While the Crown Prince's offices could not be reached for a statement, Princess Minerva's responded with the following statement:
Images of the Crown Prince and I having a friendly chat over coffee have once more turned into some media circus over both of our private lives. The Crown Prince and I are nothing more than great friends and we happened to have run into each other with enough time to stop for coffee and a chat. This constant barrage of attention on our love lives is a source of frustration because our separate bodies of work are often lost in the shuffle. The Crown Prince's devotion to charity and family are things we share and I am proud of the work he has done on behalf of Lunaria and his father, King Arden. I wish the press could write more about that then speculate and feed rumors that cause more harm than good.
Once more, the Pierreland Princess comes out with a scathing remark, this time directed at us dear reader...and well...can you blame us for hoping? We see that look in your eye, Princess Minerva....there's a story here and we'll find it.

HIH Crown Prince's Christening Arrivals Part 2
Next to arrive are the Elite 6 who are the 6 godparents chosen by a monarch to the heir to the throne and are commonly either monarchs or heirs to thrones themselves allowing for the young heir to have a support system of those who understand the pressure of ruling.
First of the 6 to arrive were TM King Henry and Queen Julia of Simnovia (@simnovianroyal) capped off their visit to Pierreland with their attendance at the Christening. Her Majesty wore a stunning Green floral gown with matching hat while His Majesty wore a simple grey suit and blue tie.
Next to arrive are Their Imperial Majesties Emperor Napoleon IV and Empress Marie-Josephine of Francesim (@empiredesimparte). The imperial couple was a definate shoe in to apart of the 6 due to David's deep admiration for Emperor Napoleon IV and his wife. The Francesim couple is also close with HIH Crown Prince Louis already, as they arranged for the Empress to safely return to Pierreland from their yacht, where the Crown Prince opted to send the Empress into labor. HIM Empress Josephine opted for a Royal Blue colored dress with a coordinated white and blue fascinator while Emperor Napoelon opted for a light blue waistcoat and a traditional morning suit.
Next to arrive is HRM Queen Alma of Simovia accompanied by the ever faithful Landgraaf van Hoensbroek. HRM is apart of the 6 and has a close relationship with both Emperor David and Empress Katalina, with Queen Alma and Emperor David taking up a constant correspondence since their state visit, relying on each other as friends and equals with the pair having a sibling-esque relationship. HRM wore a stunning blue dress with gloves and a matching headband while the Landgraff wore a grey suit and blue tie, being an ever steady and calming presence to HRM.
The last of the 6 to arrive is HRH Crown Prince Nicholas of Lunaria (@simsroyallegacy) The crowds went nuts as they saw that he arrived with HIH Princess Minerva, his rumored ex-lover and "friend". HRH Crown Prince Nicholas is a recent father relative to all other members of the 6 and was last seen at a Charity Fashion show that was organized by HIH Princess Minerva. The two "friends" were seen walking up to the church together, close together but also clearly not holding hands. What was also interesting that the two were matching, with the Crown Prince's jacket matching the exact shade of blue as HIH Princess Minerva's dress. Locals and photographers noted a thick cloud of tension between the pair, especially after their rumored fight they had at HIH's Lunarian Residence, though many style watchers noticed that HIH wore not only the Heart of the Crown but also the Paradsisan Blues braclet reportedly given to her by Prince Nicholas and a pups for life bracelet, leading many people to speculate the signals HIH Princess Minerva seemed to be giving that their relationship is as complex as ever.
With the Arrival of the godparents, The Senior Imperial family arrived at St. Cecillia's.
Walking in ahead of their parents, Their Graces the Dukes of Anjou and Bordeaux wore light blue shorts, shirts and bowties. The young Dukes follow the tradition of Imperial boys wearing shorts till their teen years and were all smiles and waves due to being much more practiced at Imperial Events.
Behind them are TIM Emperor David and Empress Katalina. HIM Empress Katalina stunned in white with a white hat, pushing the pram where a reportedly sleeping Crown Prince was bundled up in a blanket knited by Godmother Queen Julia of Simnovia while HIM Emperor David held hands with his adopted daughter Lady Isabella Bordeaux at her first big Imperial event since her return to the family. The young girl looked very nervous and was seen clinging to her father's hand as they walked slowly alongside the pram.
Official Portraits will be released later as the Christening Ceremony itself is a private affair and the Empire is waiting in anticipation!

Heartbroken Princess?: HIH Princess Minerva Seen In Tears at Local Coffee Shop
HIH Princess Minerva was seen in tears leaving the local coffee shop near her Lunarian Residence. The normally upbeat Princess was seen hiding her face from the paparazzi leading many to wonder if her current boyfriend Crown Prince Alexios of Greecesim was the cause of her tears.
Barefaced and in tears, Her Imperial Highness looks like she hasn't been sleeping well
According to an insider on Her Imperial Highness's staff, Alexios wasn't the cause but HRH Crown Prince Nicholas of Lunaria was! According to an anonymous source from within HIH's staff, Prince Nicholas and Princess Minerva met a week ago for an intensely private conversation which ended with Princess Minerva leaving her study in tears and Prince Nicholas looking heartbroken as he left her residence.
HIH hasn't been the same since they talked. She's rarely been eating and we only see her from when she's leaving her study to go up to her apartments and when she leaves for her weekly meeting with King Arden...she's normally very friendly with all of us but she just has been so sad and stressed...Whatever was said crushed her.
Ouch...if this is true, is it truly the end of Minicolas? The pair were very happy prior to Princess Isadora crashing into the picture with the surprise pregnancy, engagement, and now being accused of attempting to murder Princess Minerva, it seems that everything came to a head in one moment and has crushed our strong Princess.
Lunarians and Pierrelanders are both in shock and supportive of Princess Minerva with one popular tweet from Tweeter user RoyalWatchAnon circulating:
Damn...if that source is to be believed, I wonder what was said in that room? I'm starting to think that Prince Nicky is indecisive and more childish than he appears. Princess Minerva must have decided to be an adult for both of them....she would've been a great Queen Consort of Lunaria. Take care of yourself Princess Minerva, he ain't worth it. #justiceforminerva #therealqueenoflunaria

Christening BTS: More Serious Conversations
??? (singing): I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream. I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam. Yet I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem. But if I know you, I know what you'll do. You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream
Nicky: Who is that? That voice sound beautiful...
Nicholas(blurts out): Minnie? You sound like a Simsney Princess
Minerva: Nicky?
Minerva: I should go-
Nicholas: No..no Minnie..stay...can we talk...
Minerva: I really should-
[Nicky pouts and looks at Minerva with puppy dog eyes]
Nicholas: Please?
Minerva[sighing]: Fine....You do know I hate when you pull that face..
Nicholas: Cause you can't resist?
Minerva: you said it not me.
Nicholas: I don't know what to do...I've been...held under Isadora's sway for so long...I don't know what to do...not without you..
Minerva: You want me to be honest?
Nicholas: Please.
Minerva: Work on yourself...Stop using Isadora as an excuse-
Nicholas: She is not an excuse! You know what she is like! How evil she-
Minerva: There you go, making her an excuse...you need to focus on Maggie...that little girl deserves the world from you...
Nicholas: I give her the world!
Minerva: You give her the world you can due to where you are Nicky...give her everything, give her the healed version of you what she deserves to know you as...you should also tell your father everything...from Isadora...to us...to...well wherever you chose to take your relationships...he's earned the right Nicholas to know why you've been so wrapped up in all-
Nicholas: He'd never understand...he said he loves my mother but he still married her
Minerva: You'd be surprised...parents are surprisingly understanding...I never thought my parents would understand before...but they did...and I'm sure they'll understand again...
Nicholas: And if I do everything you've said...if I've done the steps?
Minerva: Then get back to work, your country needs you
Nicholas: I need you-
Minerva: I- I- I need to go
