Perfect match for uneven couple...
I love it when I find a rare case of amazing compatibility AND strong chemestry/attraction AND it works both ways. But, I find it problematic when the couple is not supposed to be, thanks to protocol and coming from different classes. In RL those rules for royals can be very strict, and maybe they should be. But there are also examples of royals marrying someone far below their own level. I think I might need some input on this...
Princess Evendice (28) and Mr Robin Hump (27) got the full score. They have stayed 3 years in the same manor while getting their university degrees. During the last term something happened, and although it seems they tried their best to hold back - romance bar hardly developed - they seem to be the perfect match?
Evendice has the Princess title, but she is not seen as a member of royal Huse of Luxe-Hamper. She is daughter of King Tarriot's only brother, but she is only 6th in line of successors to the Throne. She will not likely be a very central person in the future royal puzzle. So maybe the choise of spouse can be less strict?
Because, Mr Robin Hump was hardly born into aristocracy, and his parents divorced long ago. He is not to blame for either, but obviously far below the level of a princess. His mother was born into House of Rab-Saxor (not the main branch of that family though), and later she married to the brother of the Duke of Rossie. She was never made member of the duke's House of Ross and her 2nd husband holds no title beyind being styled Lord. Robin's father, who is a Doctor (DNA specialist), later founded House of Hump, where Robin is a central member, but they don't hold any title either. So, Robin is just about not a commoner.
Oh, should I mention that Robin's stepfather is King Tarriot's 1st cousin? Evendice and Robin won't share DNA, though, so maybe that is just a good thing in these circles?
In RL they would definitely not be seen as an even couple based on social classes. I'm undecided where to push them. They already have a close tie, but they are not dating, at least no officially. In my game anyone in line to a House (or throne, even) need approval from Head of House. Should Princess Evendice even bother to bring this up? Should they just keep seeing each other secretly? Or are they both too young to hurry?
What do you think the reply from the King would be? He has a rather modern mindset, but well, is it possible for him to ignore protocol?
Evendice is not even my favorite royal, and now this... sorry for the long write-up!
