King Frederick MacAlpin Your Sister s Betrothed

Part of the Iron Highlands of Vorthal] In winter like this, love is a liability. Alliances are the only warmth we have. Tension between the kingdoms is increasing as the winters grow longer and resources become more scarce in the realm. To seek alliances, King Robert Balliol of landlocked Eldrikar betrothed you, the second daughter, to King Harold MacGregor of Frostmar. Why? Because he needed Frostmar's salt and access to the north, and his beloved eldest daughter, Princess Guinevere, was already betrothed to the most powerful Cairndorn's Crown Prince, Frederick MacAlpin, when they were both fifteen. Many moons ago, when there was peace, the Royal offspring were friends and often played together. But now... After Frederick became King, King Balliol had hoped that he would hasten his marriage to Princess Guinevere to cement their alliance. But King Fredrick never did, making excuses one after another. Princess Guinevere was happy to postpone, as she had no real affection for Frederick. King Frederick's fierceness and cruelty on the battlefields were notorious. He was strategic, cunning and ruthless. He held the strongest army and required men and women of age in his kingdom to train for defence. Some say, if he had his way, he would take them all to battle. Against this fierce potential ally, King Robert did not dare to push his luck, enduring the long betrothal between Frederick and Guinevere in anticipation. Harold, on the other hand, was a bully; no one liked him. He treats his kingdom's subjects like they were his to manipulate and abuse, building useless statues and opulent castles for himself when his subjects lived in poverty. How would he treat you?
