The Kings Public Letter 

To My People,

With the sweat spreading across our fair country and further out to the North, this is a trying time for all of us. As we all brave this new threat I am humbled by the tales I have heard of people coming together and helping those in need. This I feel truly represents who we are as a united and strong kingdom. It is stories like this that make me confident we will beat this illness as we have overcome all our past struggles.

My physicians have advised all of us to stay away from those infected with the sweat and to burn all bedding from those infected. St Bartholomew’s, St Mary's and St John's are accepting patients who don't have access to a personal physician. I am sending my prayers to all of you.

Let us hold onto the light within us all and shine it bright on this darkness.

Yours Faithfully,

King Avery De Lune Of Windenburg

A Letter From Windsor Castle

St Bartholomew’s Hospital

Sweating sickness continues to spread rapidly through England, the city of Windenburg has been particularly effected and the city streets appear foreign as a quiet has set over the city. Everyone has been keeping indoors and St Bartholomew’s Hospital is overflowing with patients. Though the hospital was recently updated thanks to generous donations from the King and the church, the mysterious sickness is proving difficult to quell.

The current outbreak of the sickness has taken the lives of thousands and as is protocol in an epidemic of this nature, the Royal family have been rushed out of Windenburg to Glimmerbrook. They are staying in Windsor Castle, where they usually vacation in the winter. King Avery held court before leaving for Windsor, telling the people his thoughts are with all his subjects and he has faith that as with all trials the strength of the English people will prevail. 

Offical Royal Visit to France

The Windenburg Royal Family has made an official state visit to the Kingdom of France. A visit that has sent courtiers chins wagging, rumours circulating that the visits main intent is to secure an engagement promise with Crown Prince William and one of King Louis Navarre of Brindleton Bay’s daughters. HRH Princess Arielle Navarre or her sister HRH Princess Isabelle Navarre. The match would not only secure a marital alliance but likely will be followed by a treaty uniting England and France. 

The notion of a treaty is supported by the fact that both Kings wore simple crowns that had no attachment to either’s lands. HRH King Avery is usually seen wearing the Crown Of Eyes, which belonged to his Grandfather, who's vast Kingdom occupied parts of England, France, Germany and Spain. It’s believed the King didn't wear this crown as a sign of respect to King Louis. 

Depicted in the paintings of the royal families Principal Painter in Ordinary, Sir Thomas Lawrence, you can see the arrival of the whole of the royal family, King Avery De Lune, Queen Margaret De Lune, Crown Prince William, Princess Avis, Princess Sophia, Prince Thomas and Prince Kingston. This is the first most of the public is seeing of the Kings younger children, Princess Sophia, Prince Thomas and Prince Kingston. The court has been eager to see the children after rumours Princess Sophia and Prince Thomas were sickly and that’s why they haven't been seen at court events. 

Shown in the paintings is the moment both royal families bowed to each other as a sign of friendship and respect.

The last paintings are offical portraits that were presented to Crown Prince William and King Avery for approval before the state visit. This is largely considered standard practice when royals are deciding on potential brides.
