1. ONCE UPON A
KINGDOM
A Build a Royal Kingdom
Challenge

2. The kingdom of Hyperia has been growing, and so has the
Political landscape. Lord Erian has been climbing up the
ranks of the political ladder, therefore getting his family one
step closer to the king. If he could become Hyperia’s first
Mayor, then he would have direct access to the king and a
much better chance of making himself King Henry’s advisor.
However, his biggest rival is Lord Diamos, who has also been
rising in the ranks. Not of the political scene, but the Military
one; he has a shot too at becoming the king’s advisor. And
Lord Erian will have to work harder if he is to usurp the Starr
family as the king’s favoured and first choice for a spouse.
Whosoever marries young Prince Derek will be the next queen
and have the most coveted position of power in the entire
kingdom. Lord Erian wanted to ensure that his daughter
would be that next queen; not one of the Starr’s daughters.

3. Lord Erian needed and edge to usurp his rival, luckily for him his wife was more than
willing to oblige. Lady Amaya gave birth to another set of twins.

4. Another son, Kira and a daughter Rangiku. Another son to carry on his family name and
a daughter to offer to the king. Lord Erian was pleased his wife bred well, he chose her
wisely.

5. Erian knew that having his rival witness their birthdays would keep up pretenses and
make him think they were still allied. What better way to deceive a rival than to make him
believe he was a friend? He was unsure of how much to tell his wife about his plans, the
two of them were friends; a fact that made Erian wary. He didn’t want her to ruin his
ambitions and plans with her female weaknesses. Best to play it close to the chest until it
was time to reveal his plan.

6. His older children were crucial in ensuring the younger ones would know where they stood
when the time came to make the move to power. If Prince Derek did not choose
Hinamori, then it would be up to his youngest Rangiku to take the lead. He would train his
sons personally in matters of finance, politics, making the proper alliances, and how to
handle rivalries for a plan. He would also make sure they knew how to run a household and
select the proper mate which would increase their influence and reputation in the court.
Shuuhei showed promise in Architecture, if the way he knew how to put blocks together was
any indication of his future skill set.

7. Soon enough, his two youngest would be
old enough to begin. He had plans to get
them enrolled in the same private school as
the young princes were. He counted on the
social whims of children to do some of the
relationship building necessary to further
his plans for his ascent to the highly
coveted position of King’s Advisor. It was a
failsafe in case he did not gain the favour of
Lord Diamos.

8. The kingdom was flourishing, the fields were fertile and provided much needed
grains, vegetables and live stock feed to keep the kingdom through the harshest of winters.
And while having farm land was essential, so was having a functioning barracks. It was on
the top of the list for Lord Diamos once he ascended to General, he planned to use some land
to build a barracks for the kingdom’s soldiers to reside in. He had requisitioned a section of
land near his property from the king and was given permission to build there once he made
it to General.

9. Lord Diamos was not wrapped up in climbing the Military ranks, that he forgot to make
some time for his second daughter Lilly. She had his beautiful purple eyes and her gorgeous
mother’s hair and fair skin. Ani-Mei wanted to see Six of their Kids get Married and they
had three already. Lilly would not be the youngest for very much longer.

10. Dee: Come on Lil, say ‘daddy’.
Lilly: *blinks*
Dee: Teaching my other kids how to
talk never took this long…I know you
have a lot to say baby, so tell daddy.
Lilly: *giggles*
Dee: This is gonna take a while…

11. Tyler, her older brother thought that maybe he could get through to his quiet little sister. His
mother said something about 9 Outgoing points and no reason for her to be so quiet, he had
no idea what that meant.
Tyler: Mommy taught me this nursery rhyme, so maybe I can teach it to you Lil.
Lilly: Ga?

12. Tyler: Or not…this will be a challenge just like daddy said it would.
Lilly: *stares at walls*
Tyler: *sigh* I won’t give up, I’m going to get you to talk. I know it.

13. Tyler: The itsy-bitsy spider went up the water spout, down came the rain and
washed the spider out. Out came the sun and dried up all the rain, and the itsy-
bitsy spider went up the spout again.
Lilly: Tyler…
Tyler: She spoke!! DADDY!! Lil spoke!! I’m her first word!!
Diamos: Way to go son!! Good for you!!

14. Ani-Mei: Don’t look so upset Dee baby, at least she speaks.
Dee: I wanted to be her first word. *pouts*
Ani-Mei: Well maybe this baby will want to say daddy as their first word.
Dee: Maybe…are you going to move? Or can I take your knight?
Ani-Mei: Yeah, yeah. Mr. Impatient…

15. Ani-Mei: Hold that thought!!! OWWW!!
Diamos: I never get tired of this!!
Ani-Mei: Grr!! DEE!!
Diamos: What? *grins*

16. Yes, triplets. I chose to give them
three, for one because I really would like
to have a chapter with all kids for once
and two it was a lot easier to do it all in
one shot and third, she wanted six so she
got them. Two boys and a girl. So Dee
has three sons and three daughters.

17. Then we got a genie. Dee could have his Perma-Platness too because his LTW is to be a
Media Magnate and I need a population of 1000 to have that opportunity. Since at this
point I’m not even in the triple digits yet, he won’t be getting that without a genie. So here
you go Dee honey, enjoy. *wink* (loopholes FTW)

18. As it turned out, Tyler had a real gift for painting. His parents’ portraits were a
testament to his skill. If Tyler had one chance, he would want to become an Artist and fill
the kingdom with his beautiful pictures and art work.

19. Triple b-day!!
Dee was looking forward to seeing how gorgeous the last three of theirs would be, he could
not think of anyone better to share a family and a life with than Ani-Mei. She was always
so good to him.

20. He named one son after his twin brother Dalen
whom he had to leave behind when he came to
Hyperia, his daughter was given the lovely name
of Rose and his youngest son was given the name
Kyle. Kyle had his mother’s bright blue eyes and
his raven-coloured hair. The little boy was truly
beautiful because he carried the very best of both
of them.

21. Like Lord Diamos, the house of Trace was well on the way
to having peace of mind. Lord Thai had managed to keep
twelve lovers and his wife was none the wiser. He was
nearly home free. Eight more and his dream would come
true.

22. Because Maia was far too engrossed in the prospect of having another child around to
care what he was up to when her back was turned. However he was not expecting this
kind of surprise…

23. She birthed twins, another daughter named Dahlia and a son named Eric. His first son.
Both have his dark hair and their mother’s eyes. His oldest, Kindle was due to have her
birthday tonight as well; though she was not pleased to have the birth of her brother and
sister on the same day as hers.

24. Despite that, she knew she was still number one in her daddy’s heart. And now she got to
be the boss of the little ones now too.

25. Having three kids already and yet another on the way, did not stop Lord Thai from
making use of the matchmaker’s services to drop him Lover #13, Jan Tellerman though.
The matchmaker only served the Noble houses since most others were too poor to afford
her services. And Maia remained blissfully unaware of his philandering; which suited him
just fine.

26. Sweet Kindle, shy little Kindle she had no
desire to follow her father’s path in life.
Her desires led her to a more safe and
reasonable young boy, Shuuhei Kasumi.
She liked Shuuhei a lot and surprised
herself by making a bold move in asking
him to dance. Kindle always dreamed of
dancing the night away at some lovely
palace ball with a handsome young man
waiting for her on the floor. Kindle was
sure Shuuhei thought the same way about
her, he always wanted to spend time with
her. Kindle let herself dream of Shuuhei
being that young man who would sweep
her off her feet and carry her away to his
palace.

27. The time soon came for her younger siblings to grow up. She looked forward to playing
with them once they were old enough.

28. Now that they were older, Kindle could play with them. She wanted to teach them the same
nursery rhyme she knew.

29. Kindle was happy to teach her brother the nursery rhyme, and he was happy to learn it as
well.
