Ultimate Decades Challenge - Day 32 - Year 1307 - Updated Nov. 17

The last three chapters, seeing Kimberly so sad are heart-wrenching. So, with Thomas (the heir) now gone, will David be the new heir then since he is the first male child? Or does Emma's husband (eventually) become the new heir? I might have to re-read those rules again for patriarchies.

And thank goodness Emma aged up and lived. That would really have been horrible otherwise. And she got the independent trait. Lucky you and so much easier on Kimberly, too. I am glad that Kimberly's father came over to look in on her and the children. The loss of a loved one is very traumatic, and even the simplest of tasks are overwhelming. I feel so bad for Kimberly. Cute pic of Emma preferring to play with the chick rather than her toys. lol Here father really helped a lot and helped them all get ready for the funeral. And, yes, poor Caitlin, losing both her husband and her son. Now that is tragic. I loved the touch of the daisies on Thomas' grave. I tell you, the notice of a death on the farm and Grim's appearance again would have caused some panic in me.

Thankfully, Camilla is able to cheer Elizabeth up, with the passing of her father and her brother. Camilla is a sweet child.

And now we discover that Lady Goth is married and has a step-child named Raven. A child that she doesn't really like. Lady Goth, the evil stepmother.

Ahhh...little Emma singing Kimberly a song...and later Kimberly singing to Emma. Sweet. The little pirate bear is cute. Is that cc? Glad that Benjamin will stay with her for awhile.

I have a feeling that Frederick had gone to see Lady Goth, who had perhaps given them a potion or made a spell so that Arianna could have a child. Maybe Frederick and Lady Goth made some type of bargain on when the baby was born. Who knows? Anyway, lots of mystery and intrigue there.
