The Eternal Empire was stunned into silence by what transpired then. Just as Emperor Albin was consorting with Mukvir and drafting reforms, his ruler's psyche blind to all save his duties, Otto and Jeanne shattered the rumoured curse on House Heinrich. Jeanne bore not one, not two, nor three, nor four, nay even five, but six sons in total. All healthy, all in excellent condition.
Each was different, and their raising demanded a different approach.
>>5919753The first son grew with a strong, vigorous frame and keen, bright mind. Like his father, he was of a direct and blunt temperament, though unlike him, he inherited a spot of the De Croize eccentricities. He deeply enjoys fighting, albeit in a much more visceral way than Otto, but doesn't go out of his way to sate this bloodlust.
What did Otto name his firstborn son, and how was he raised?
>>5919884The second son proved to be stout and clever, with a knack for puzzles. He shared his mother's thoughtfulness and disliked physical competitions, but was quite fond of more abstract, tactical wargames. Notably, he has the appetite of three children but metabolism is only slightly faster than average.

>>5919885The third son took after his grandmother, Anna, and was of an average size and timid. Initially, he was seen as a potential failure, before it came to light that he was comfortable in groups and had a sharp wit and grasp of language.

>>5919887The fourth son resembled his grandfather, Alphonse, and showed a breathtaking degree of finesse, coordination, and stamina. The boy had a subtle, calm temperament but greatly enjoyed winning and dedicated himself in his entirety to everything he did. He showed signs of a prodigal duelist in the making, a virtuoso of the blade, inheriting his father's talents and building yet further on them.

>>5919889The fifth son bore the typical De Croize features, sharp face and a lightness to his feet, paired with an uncustomarily large and broad size, and was the smartest of the lot by far. The boy was a genius who had no interest in physical competition, which is a shame, as he showed signs of deep athletic potential. In a slight concern, he didn't seem to care about other people. Not cruelly, rather, of a profound apathy.
What did Otto name his fifthborn son, and how was he raised?
>>5919890The sixth son was much like the first, arguably Otto born over, with the same talents nigh-verbatim. He had a deeply competitive spirit and enjoyed beating others, in contests or any other context, and his easygoing demeanour hid a violent mean streak.
