HM the Queen
Ianthe Nimue
Relationships
History
This is a penny-princess situation. The King was a very rich man who was very board and he thought it would be fun to be a king and the country needed money very badly, so the Queen married him. They are very awkward around each other, but they are faithful to each other and do admire each other at times. They don't have much of an emotional connection, they do have a physical one and flirt all the time with each other.
History
The Queen Mother was a queen first and a mother never. Duty always came first, always the People. Her daughter (our queen) had plenty of people to look after her: nurse maids, governesses, tutors, and ladies-in-waiting for friends, so that ever need she could have would be met. As a royal, she would have to understand that personal sacrifices had to be made. All those people filled that role of mother. It was selfish to want more. Then the Queen Mother retired and the Princess was born and now, it seemed, the Queen Mother had time for love and affection. Every moment that the Queen Mother had denied herself come to fruition in her grand daughter. They would play together, art, read, even bake. Finally, the Queen Mother could be a mom. Except to the wrong daughter. Our Queen was on the throne and she heavily resented the relationship her mother and daughter had. And yet she herself was falling into the same mold her mother had left. Her duties as queen and head of the country left little time for child, left alone a husband or herself. The Queen Mother would tell her not to worry; that when the Princess had children, then she could enjoy bonding with a child. But the Queen doesn't want that, she wants to enjoy being a mother to her own child, but her daughter's. But she's finding it very hard to find a balance. There isn't much wiggle room in queening, after all. The Queen was actually hoping that when the Princess came of age at her thirteenth birthday and started her leadership training in earnest, that they could bond of it. That went the Princess started shadowing her on the job, that they would not only be spending quantities of time together, but also quality time together. When spending all day together, surely there would be moments of time where they could laugh at something together?
