Quoted By:
Prince Magnus proved to be an open but amiable man, who eventually swallowed his pride, though you let him save face by betrothing his sister, the Princess Astrid, to your only son, the Crown Prince Dietrich.
The man himself apparently deviated from his uncle's blonde hair and had the bright red locks of his mother, the late Princess Helga. His fiery hair was a stark contrast to his uncle's more traditional appearance, but it only added to his charm and charisma. He was said to be clean-shaven, with a jaw to match yours, and his representative took the opportunity to begin recruiting among the Greifswalders.
Many Greifswalder veterans, who were either hirelings or didn't have a regular job as a guard or men-at-arms, returned to their pre-war professions, though many went off with the now friendly Svengalians.
The elves, likewise, returned to Alfand, though some of the younger ones decided to partake in an old elven tradition, the walking between the worlds, to seek out new experiences and knowledge beyond their own realm. An even smaller group had decided to come along with you, back to Rittersbach, and though they seemed unwilling to take up residence in Rittersbach proper, the two dozen that were there quietly bought a bunking house for the time being; from there on out, they would see what they would do.
Some of the elves expressed interest in exploring the human world further, while others were content to observe from a distance.
As for yourself, you felt the need to make up for lost domestic contentment, so you decided to spend more time with Queen Anastasia for the time being, as well as your young son, Prince Dietrich. He was betrothed now, but he had no obligation as of yet; that would come when he was older. He could be formally wed when he is fourteen, six years from now, and the marriage could be consummated when he is legally in his majority, about eight years from now.
That was your plan, and with the treaty signed and ratified when Magnus is coronated, things shall proceed according to your wishes. Your main focus now is ensuring the stability and prosperity of your kingdom for the future generations, starting with the upbringing of Prince Dietrich. Queen Anastasia has been a beloved partner in this endeavour, and together you are most confident in the path ahead.
Your other concerns, mainly the prospects of your unwed daughters, could be easily mended. They were still young, of good form and comely of countenance; you would start to find them a good partner soon enough, but for now, you wished to simply lean back.
