Queen Chiara I

The day of Queen Chiara I's coronation was one of excitement and hope for the people of NewCrest. After a long and prosperous reign by her predecessor, Queen Stefania III, the kingdom was eager to see what new leadership Queen Chiara I would bring. The grand ceremony at NewCrest Palace was a sight to behold, with the palace grounds adorned with colorful flowers and decorations. The newly crowned Queen looked stunning in her regal attire, with her long, flowing hair cascading down her shoulders.

Following the coronation, the Queen presided over her first mass as the Head of the Church of NewCrest. It was a solemn occasion, as the people of the kingdom gathered to witness their new monarch's commitment to serving the divine. The Queen's words were powerful and inspiring, and many felt a sense of renewed hope and purpose as they left the ceremony.

However, the joy and celebration were short-lived as scandal soon rocked the palace. Duchess Teresa, the wife of Crown Prince Giuseppe, was said to be suffering from depression and had moved to King Alberto III's palace. Rumors began to circulate that the cause of her depression was due to Prince Giuseppe's return to being a working royal or even because of her postpartum depression.

To make matters worse, Prince Damien, who had previously lost his titles due to scandal, announced that he was officially engaged to Borja Carvalho, the man he had cheated on Teresa with. The news sent shockwaves throughout the palace and the kingdom, as many wondered what the Queen's response would be. In a surprising move, Borja turned down any royal titles, choosing instead to lead a normal life with his partner.

Meanwhile, the paparazzi continued to hound the royals, with scandalous photos of Crown Prince Giuseppe and his son's nanny being sold to magazines with headlines like "Cheating Prince". The ensuing scandal led to the divorce of Crown Prince Giuseppe and Duchess Teresa, a tragedy that shook the palace and the kingdom to its core.

Just when things couldn't get any worse, a tragic accident occurred. At a final engagement together after the divorce, the garage roof collapsed on Teresa and her bodyguard, killing the bodyguard and leaving Teresa with severe injuries. The Crown Prince and Queen Chiara I rushed to be by her side, but despite their efforts, Teresa ultimately succumbed to her injuries and passed away.

Amidst all of this, the Kamora royal family was also in turmoil, with a civil war and a dictatorship threatening their very existence. Queen Chiara I and Princess Gwendolyn attempted to intervene, but were unable to save the family from their tragic fate. They could only save Princess Carmen of Kamora, promising her to marry Crown Prince Alberto and never be able to take back her Kamoran titles.

As time passed, Crown Prince Giuseppe and his former mistress, Lady Helene, announced their engagement and eventual marriage, a move that was met with mixed reactions from the people of NewCrest. Meanwhile, Prince Alberto turned 16, and many wondered what kind of leader he would become in the future.

​

Queen Chiara I stood at the podium in the Royal Press Room, her face etched with sadness. Crown Prince Giuseppe and his son, Crown Prince Alberto, stood by her side. Reporters from various media outlets were gathered in the room, their cameras flashing as they waited for the queen to speak.

“Beloved people of NewCrest,” Queen Chiara I began, her voice barely above a whisper. “It is with great sadness that I must inform you that my wife, Her Majesty Princess Consort Gwendolyn, has passed away.”

Gasps and murmurs filled the room as the reporters absorbed the news. Crown Prince Giuseppe placed a hand on his mother's shoulder, providing her with some comfort.

Queen Chiara I took a deep breath before continuing, “It was a sudden and unexpected loss. Gwendolyn was doing some yoga when she had a heart attack. We did everything we could to save her, but it was too late.”

The queen's voice broke as she spoke, and Crown Prince Alberto hugged her tightly, his own eyes filled with tears.

“Gwendolyn was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother,” Queen Chiara I continued, her voice growing stronger. “She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. We will hold a memorial service in her honor, and I ask that you keep our family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.”

The press conference ended shortly after the announcement, and the royal family retired to the palace to grieve in private. Over the next few days, the kingdom mourned the loss of their beloved princess consort.

Queen Chiara I leaned on her family for support, but the loss of her wife weighed heavily on her. She felt a deep emptiness, and despite the outpouring of love and support from her people, she struggled to find comfort.

In the weeks and months that followed, the queen threw herself into her duties, determined to honor her wife's memory by serving her kingdom. She worked tirelessly to ensure that the people of NewCrest were taken care of and that the kingdom continued to prosper.

​

The sudden deaths of Queen Chiara I and Princess Consort Gwendolyn shook the Kingdom of NewCrest to its core. The people were left in disbelief and mourning, and the royal family was left in a state of chaos.

Queen Chiara I's son, Crown Prince Giuseppe, was now next in line for the throne. However, his reputation was not exactly unblemished. He had been embroiled in several scandals, and many questioned his ability to lead the kingdom.

Crown Prince Giuseppe had always been somewhat of a wild child, but with the passing of his mother and wife, he was forced to confront the reality of his responsibilities. He knew that he needed to step up and be the leader that his people needed, even if it meant putting his own personal desires and interests aside.
