Gossips #2

(Year 229) Antoinette Morck is here to share some more gossip with you!

- Hello, again! I'm planning to base most of my gossips on the celebrity in Del Sol Valley, but you know, after Plumbob Pictures got some serious competition from Simmerville Studio in Gloomville, and both musicians and the acting crew spread all over the kingdom, Del Sol Valley is no longer the only hotspot out there! So, this issue will cover several other districts, and I promise a Del Sol Valley special in my Gossips #3!

Let's head over to Brindleton Bay! This Summer saw the wedding of Duke Charlopold de Cavalier (38) and Lady Luna V. Heimlich (38). Locals are now eagerly waiting for the first sign of a growing Luna belly, but I guess it is a bit early as we just started Winter.

The happy couple was observed taking a stroll out on the Deadgrass Island, and no such baby belly sign was reported. Being the mother of five I know everything there is to know about pregnant bodies, so trust me - they are still not expecting!

On the other hand, press has speculated in their visit to Deadgrass, which is not included with the Brindleton dukedom. It's well known that the Royal Chamber is currently debating a change to the old peerage out there. It was seen as high nobility for 180 years, but never was anything but a Lord title, which isn't really a true peerage, according to noble standards. And now they want to get rid of it, it seems. Could it be that Duke Charlopold was offered a takeover? If so, how would the current Lord Dominic of Deadgrass react to that? Any changes won't be announced until next year.

We're heading over to Windenburg! This old town is not only home to the oldest private school of the entire kingdom, Windenburg Business School, it is also home to the most popular private boarding school; Summerfield High. It's located at Dresden, and at this term's opening HRH Queen Venezia of Mazaloom honored the school with a visit!

This school is where the top nobility send their hopeful teenagers, and I heard that the school focuses more on character values than basic skills. It should not surprise anyone that the Queen visited, because among the current students we find no less than three members of her own household! HRH Crown Princess Emireza (18), Prince Bazillimus (16), and a half sister of HRH King Tarriot, Amalia Ellice Luxe-Hamper Hoffstar (28).

Did Her Majesty look a little worried after talking with Principal Mrs. Hettie P. Fartingham (49)?

There are already rumors that Amalia Ellice (the redhaired student) who is a senior student shortly facing her final exam, will not achieve any great results at all! But it can't be all that bad? She grew up with the royal children at Chateau Peak, she can't have missed all those value lessons, can she? Well, I guess we might get to know her exam results next Spring!  

So, we are once again stopping by Hotel Oceana in the picturesque Tartosa. For the first time the super famous couple Thorne and Octavia brought their son, and look who suddenly grew into a handsome teenager! 

The family was found relaxing in the hotel bar, before claiming their reserved table at the seafood restaurant «Sort of Fishy». Thorne Bailey (49) was over the top wearing sunglasses for privacy, but yelling and waving to drag attention. He is one of the real celebrities, and probably loved by the press.

So, the big question will be - is their son Orange Bailey-Moon (17) searching for fame, like his parents? It's been reported that he is into music, but so far we did not see any public action. After Octavia Moon (48) gave birth to a late love child, a baby girl named Lucila, this family of four has been more private than they used to be. Perhaps Orange uses the opportunity to live a normal teenager life, after all?

On a final note - did you hear about the drama caused by Duchess Prudence de Aarbyville (41)? She was accused of practicing dark magic, and her husband, the Duke Vibrattore de Aarbyville (47) had to reach out to the regional press to calm down everyone. Still, I assume she was up to something dark, for sure. She might be a good hearted person deep deep inside, but we all know she also has a scary side to her, not quite fitting a Duchess at all, if you ask me! The couple, who are 2nd cousins, married 8 years ago but still has no children. They should get at it or I'm sure the duke's younger brother will be ready to take over the dukedom.

At Fashion District in San Myshuno (my hood before switching city life with my cowfarm in Henford-on-Bagley) the long running fashion house, Wilder Fashion House, seems to get into trouble. It's been the elite's number one clothing studio for many years, formerly owned by Vice President Rob Wilder (68), but has been sold to a Windenburg fashion studio named Gobelin Fashion. I'm not sure that San Myshuno celebrities are all that interested in Windenburg's local fashion style, because there IS a difference in styles. But - it's too early to say whether the salon at Fashion District will change that much - I'll enlighten you with some pictures in my next issue!

So long!
