(Year 235, Spring) Hello again! Welcome to my 20th issue with gossips from all over the nation! So much is going on, I simply had to get some more Spring rumors off my chest now that we enter the social season of Summer!
Grab your favorite nectar and join me!
Did you know the Royal Palace Office updated their portraits of the royal family? Yes they did! I so wish those portraits were a bit bigger, but it is good to keep track on their aging anyway. There is even a tiara ir to.
HRM King Tarriot and HRH Queen Venezia did seem to enjoy the event quite a lot, though. The theme for this event is always dressing up in medieval costumes, normally more historically correct than humourous, but evert now and then they add a modern or personal detail for the fun of it. The Archery Rivalry is not as formal as it might first seem.
This year there were only 6 participants, each a teenager backed up by his or her parents. As usual it was set up with royalty/nobility (Houses holding one or more peerages) on one side, and rest of aristocracy (Houses with no peerage) on the other side.
HRH Prince Bazil (22) represented the royal House of Luxe-Hamper. He was quite confident at Archery, and he actually won! I noticed he has a new hair cut. Some worried that King Tarriot missing when shooting an apple off the head of Duchess Ribra Lynn of Rossie, being leading lady of last year's winning House, would harm their relatin, but the Luxe-Hamper Dynasty and the Ross Dynasty are actually allies, and I assume it takes more than a failed apple shooting to change that.
Now, some real juicy gossips from the royal staff:
Another staff member sent me this snapshot:
It looks like a private waltzing session took place at the royal palace, and although the Queren seems to be fully dressed this time, it's not her outfit that gets my full attention. Insead, my focus goes to the elderly man on the left, wearing a blue jacket. It's HH Prince Jerome (), he is kn own as the long haired prince, slightly less formal than the others, but now he has cut his long hair! I can't wait to see more photos of him!
It shows that Queen Venezia has read the popular book «The Duchess Diaries: A History of Nobility» by Anastasiia Regalus. The book was published last year, and came in 8th on the recently released top 10 list. As the Queen is wearing her sleepwear, I assume this photo should not have been published, but how could we not share?
Over to some dancing!
Another photo taken at the royal palace shows top staff members enjoying some facilities that I assume are not intended for them to enjoy during their working hours!
Pictured above are Palace Chief Attendant Ms Patricia Maiden (54) and Head Butler Mr Collin Rubbernoose (56). They were observed relaxing on the sun beds in the garden, and time stamp of the photo reveils that it was taken FIVE minutes before lunch is supposed to be served! We don't know if the lunch business was handled by others his day, or maybe the royal family was out. I heard rumors that Ms Maiden and Mr Roobernose are seen together frequently - is there a romance ongoing?
And did I mention waltzing?
This photo shows HRH Crown Princess Emireza (24) practicing her dancing skills. Is she preparing for the upcoming ball taking place in Sea kingdom where King Salomar has announced that a ball is hosted to find a possible spouse for his youngest son, Prince Weever ()? Emireza and Weever did have a good relation for years, but the Crown Princess was of course too young to get romantically involved with anyone Young Adult. I always thought he was waiting for her to grow up, but now, only one year before her growing up birthday, it seems Prince Weever is on the search for a spouse. But, Emireza is on the guest list, so I guess she might still be in the loop.
Other royal staff members did marry! 2nd Housemaid Penelope Marble (37) and Alan Pudding (54) do reside at Nordhafen Herrenhaus, as caretakers. The estate is owned by the Royal Palace Trust, and except for the caretaker section, he estate is currently unoccupied.
The couple held a minor wedding party to save money, and they were observed entering a photo booth for their wedding picture! However, I heard they were later gifted a propper picture by a collegue.
This is the region of the Ross Dynasty, including Duchess Ribra Lynn of Rossie. The one with the quite unpleasant apple experience.
The duchess has not made any official statement regarding the event, but this House is known for its prestine reputation and I doubt she will harm her own public image by ditching the King. Her hope now might be that next Archery Rivalry Fest winner comes from her own House, and then they can shoot an apple off the head of Queen Venezia! Sweet revenge awaits?
And there's been so much fuzz regarding Forgotten Hollow lately!
The Royal Palace Office, serving both the royal family and the Royal Chamber, did reveal nothing with reference to Vladislaus Straud's request of getting his Hollow County formalized. We hardly knew Hollow is populated, it's always been just a secluded deep forest hood of Henford-on-Bagley. You can't just make up your own title and then expect the Royal Chamber to formalize it, that much I know!
Closing this royal gossips section with a photo of King Tarriot and a visitor...
The visitor is Vladislaus Straud, the mystery man visiting the monarch to claim a new peerage - a county! It's a rather rude thing to ask, but the photo also shows that this Straud man has a softer side, begging the King for an autograph. This was taken just before their meeting started in King Tarriot's office. Nobody expect a new county to be created for the Forgotten Hollow, but the list of investitures for the next annual Royal Court has not yet been released. I think we will get it next week, as it must e released before end of Spring.
Now, le's move up north!
In Dresden there are rumors hat the Count von Dresden was too sick to attend the Archery Rivalry Fest, desbite his daughter, Lady Ailis, being among the contenders.
Countess Moira was the only one supporting Ailis, who did not do very well anyway. I've never seen the countess this old, I must say, but she looked stylish in her purple medieval gown.
Now, over to Rossie!
A member of the Rossie Palace staff sent me a photo of Duke Jarret and Duc hess Ribra Lynn waltzing in their music room. I loved the photo, so hereby sharing it!
It says nothing about how skilled the couple is, but they happen to be among the couples frequenting gala evens regularly, so there is a chance they are asbove averagely skilled.
So, how about my favorite region Tredony?
We're mostly done with the royals, who mostly reside in this region, so just a couple smaller rumors this time.
In Bellacorde, often referred to as Tredony because of its old name, Porto Tredony, the Capp Dynasty has their seat and their barony. Their household is not ranked very high, but at least they are true nobility holding that barony. What makes them interesting in my book is the fact that all 4 household members are single!
My attention goes to The Honerable Beatrice Capp (), heir to the dynasty as well as the barony. She really should mate up soon, establishing your family early is quite important in these circles. The Capps recently hosted a ball, and among the guests were Lord Millaus de Tredony (), son of Prince Jerome in Tartosa. Could they become a couple desbites the bad reputation that Millaus seems to build these days?
There is no official information, only rumors that this was not the first ime the two met. However, their relation can't be that hot, or the upcoming ball for Prince Weever to find a spouse woul be cancelled, right?
Beatrice was also observed visiting Prince Weever in Sea kingdom.
What about Crafthole?
In Copperdale it was rumored since long that Dame Mei Prescott (57) was having a romance with Mayor Roger Lockerbud (66). Last night I got it all proven!
Photage from a surveillance camera at the build where Roger Lockerbud has been renting a flat was leaked, and we clearly see how Mrs Prescott is flirting wildly! As I write, I get the news that Lockerbud has moved in with the Prescotts, that was quick!

Let's move on to the city!
In the real city we find the karaoke singer and forme Politician, Miko Ojo (59).
Miko tried to make herself a Music career, but never reached beyond the karaoke bars. She got enough fame within San Myshuno to run for Hood Contact a couple elections ago, but never won. Now there are rumors she considers moving back to Empire of Snorthia where she grew up. Her folks still reside in Mt Komorebi, and the Ojo Dynasty is actually one of the many protected families. Her partner Akira Kibo (60) hails from the Kibo Dynasty, and has been begged to return by his folks. Miko and Akira has one son, Pecci, but how will this unmarried family be welcommed if returning with their Mazaloomian lifestyle?
Another piece of gossip involves Mrs Miranda (Capp) de Pill (71), cousin of Baron Tybalt de Bellacorde.
Miranda did attend the ball event that the Capps hosted recently, and during the party Mrs Miranda reportedly undressed to took a bath in the private section of the Capp estate! What guest will use the host's bathtub during a grand ball event?
Now, to the craddle of the Pirates!
I rearly get gossips from the southern part of region Aarbyville, Gibbi Point. This district has no nobility and as far as I know not many celebrities, either.
At the recent election, Morgino Gibbi (43) ran for the Gibbi Point Mayor - and won! He follows his elderly father who was the Mayor for the past 5 years. Before that Gibbi Point did not have district status. Locals seems a bit worried that Morgino Gibbi will open up for more business in this district that is still quite peaceful and rural.
Let's go west...
We just can't ignore the sad faith of Baroness Morgan of Verde (42). She lost her husband, and her House lost the old and once prestigious Verde barony. Morgan's daughter Vitorina (10) inherited the Fashino barony, but must wait 10 years to become old enough for operating it. But there are rumors!
Staff at Capp estate in Bellacorde told me that Baron Tybalt (63) could not take his eyes off Morgan for the entire masquerade ball that he was hosting. I wondeer how they could notice his eyes behind that huge mask of his? Tybalt is a widower and it's not that long since he announced that he is ready to remarry. Was that why he hosted the ball in the first place?
In StrangerVille resides House of Rossell, their daughter was a contender for the Archery Rivalry Fest.
Rubigale Rossell (16) came 2nd, and her parents, Mrs Meredith W. Rossell was extremely proud, while Mr Ted Rossell was busy texting the news to all his contacts.
Final stop is Gloom!
Our new PM House was ready right before the Y235 Election, and last week Prime Minister Charlopold Dougham (62) moved in!
Closing this issue's main gossips with one more tidbit from House of Dougham.
Cornelus Dougham (24) was among the six Archery Rivalry Fest contenders, representing Aristocracy. He did not pass to the finale, but I think he - and not the other two of his triplet siblings - was there in order to mingle with King Tarriot and Queen Venezia. Corinne Dougham has started a rumor herself, that Cornelus and Crown Princess Emireza would be a perfect couple, they made pretty good friends while studying at Summerfield High in Windenburg. Next year they will both go to University. Cornelus won't quite match the royal standards, though, but his mother seems to not give up...
His wife, Mrs Corinne Dougham Mester Crestville () joined him, but she said at the quick photo session for the journalists, that they left the teenagers back home in Newcrest, and that she will reside with her husband only for one year. I heard rumors that there was not yet employed any House Keeper, so maybe Mrs Dougham has some cooking to do?
Winding up with some quick looks at our two neighboring nations...
In Sea kingdom everyone awaits the upcoming grand ball, hosted to help Prince Weever (35) o find a spouse.
This weekend HRM King Salomar (74) was observed visiting Bellacorde. Was he looking for candidates for the ball? Is he not quite happy with the guest list yet? While Sea kingdom and Mazaloom kingdom mostly held a good relation, it is not a common thing that King Salomar visits Mazaloom unofficially.
And what about Snorthia?
Well, the culture conflict that lasted foer several years seems to ba behind us, but the Emeror's dynasty still has an active rivalry with our own royal House of Luxe-Hamper. Will it be solved diplomatically?
Today's final rumor involves the 1st protected family of Yacothia; the Gilmore Dynasty.
High Priest Akyshi Gilmore (77) has been a widower since long, and he has only one son who is 34 but yet not married and desbite started his Priest career, the rumors say he is not interested in becomming a High Priest serving the city of Yacothia. Akyshi Gilmore's grown up daughter is enganged to the Crown Princi of Snorthia - the future Emperor, and their wedding is expected this year. Unless the son, Koaky Gilmore (34) establish a family, this Dynasty might actually die out - all is on the young man's shoulders. Or might his old father remarry, hoping for a second son?
Well, I am sure my note book will quickly fill up, and next gossips issue will of course cover the upcoming social season - stay tuned!
