My country was once under the rule of another kingdom - Quinlay. The people rebelled & after winning the war, the former Governor & his wife who’d been a general in the war became the first rulers. King Gerald & Queen Eloise. Their hyphened surname was combined to create their kingdom’s name & that family has been ruling ever since. I am Gerald & Eloise’s great-great-great-great-great granddaughter. The seventh generation of rulers.
My parents, Adelaide Bridget & Benedict Leopold, are fourty-five years old. My mother has curly brown hair & forest green eyes. My father has straight red hair & yellow-hazel eyes.
I am twenty-one & my name is Matilda Rose. I have curly auburn hair (like my grandmother) & forest green eyes. My twin brother’s name is Robert Malcolm. He has the same features as I do. We are as thick as thieves & have always been close.
Our surname is Clements-Jackson & our kingdom is named Clemson.
I have been more or less ruling the kingdom for the past two years as my mother was suffering from cancer. Even though, she’s now well again, my parents have decided to retire in a year & officially make me Queen. They announced it at the New Year’s Ball. Helping my father rule & being a queen in my own right are two very different things. I am, of course, happy this day has finally come & will do my best to help the people but I’m nervous as well. Being such as small kingdom, though, & with many powerful countries nearby, it’s important to not show weakness which is why my great grandfather made a law that all heirs must be married before they ascend to the throne. I understand why the law was made & will do my duty but that doesn’t mean I’m necessarily thrilled about it.
It is now February. A month after the announcement was made & eleven months until my coronation. I have been reluctantly trying to do something about this whole marriage situation. My brother, Robby, has been by my side the entire time, claiming he has to make sure his ‘little’ sister doesn’t marry an idiot. Never mind, I was born fifteen minutes before him.
I was attending the Duke of Brandt’s engagement ball for his daughter, who I am friends with, later that month. Her name is Carabel Ginger.
After giving my congratulations to the happy couple, I’d mingled a bit before going out onto the porch for a little fresh air. I heard a man call my name & turned around to see my childhood crush & the Duke of Brandt’s son who is three years older than me. His name was Emmett Jacob.
He had been traveling for the past three years & now apparently, he’d returned. The two of us talked practically the whole ball & I even allowed him to dance with me. He was the same kind & charming boy I’d known except now he was a man & a very handsome one at that.
Emmett has wavy dark brown hair & russet brown eyes.
It was no surprise to anyone - except me, anyway, when he proposed in October after months of spending time with each other. I agreed immediately & were married in early December before being whisked off on my month long honeymoon.

My honeymoon location: Spain
I was coronated the first week of January, coincidentally the same day as my birthday, & became queen & a year older with my husband right besides me.
It has now been twenty years since I & Emmett were married. During that time we had eleven children (two boys, nine girls) including back to back sets of twins.
