You have now been [name]Queen[/name] Consort of (country) for 12 years, “ruling” beside your husband and taking care of your (#) children with the limited help of a governess. You have become quite comfortable with your aristocratic way of life until everything comes crashing down.
What happens…? (roll)
1 or 2: There is a revolt amongst the common people. They threaten to kidnap one of your daughters (if you have any) if the crown does not meet there demands
3 or 4: A famine destroys your country’s most vital crop, the (name of crop).
5 or 6: There is a resurgence of (Some type of virulent illness) within your country. It takes one of your sickly children, if you have any.
7 or 8: Your husband and eldest son (if you have one) go off to fight in a war with (name of foreign country)
9 or 10: Pick your Poison
Because of (troubling event) your husband is away most of the year, and with your children being chased after by nurses and maids and governesses you become very bored and lonely without their company. That is, until a handsome young Englishmen appears at court and starts to pay extra attention to your [name]Majesty[/name].
What is his name? (You can choose or you can use http://www.ugoi.net/nonsense/name.html to help you. He has a first, middle and last name and he is a Sir.)
What is he like? (you choose)
He entertains you with his wit and far fetched tales and you enchant him with your luminous smile and brazen behavior. It isn’t long before he is your lover and you two are sneaking around the palace trying to avoid being discovered. Regardless of the condition of your marriage, you love him more than anyone you’ve ever loved.
However, only a few months into the affair you find yourself pregnant by (lover’s name). You are not sure what becomes of adulteress Queens in (country) but you know form your childhood history lessons that it is never good.
What do you decide to do?
1 or 2: Hide your condition, then pretend to adopt the baby later.
3 or 4: Give the child to distant relatives of (lover’s name) to care for
5 or 6: Go on a long journey, then decide what to do once is born
7 or 8: Send it off to an abbey to be raised
9 or 10: Your choice of anything.
Either way you give birth, what do you end up having?
1 or 2: A girl
3 or 4: A boy
5 or 6: A boy and a girl
7 or 8: Twin girls
9 or 10: You choose how many and gender(s)
No matter what you decide to do with the child(ren), you and your lover give them a name. What is/are they? (First names come from 126 Jane Austen Baby Names | Nameberry middle names are your choice. They have the same last name as your lover.)
Name(s):
You love your little one(s) very dearly, and it pains you not to acknowledge them as your own child(ren). But if anyone knew what went on between you and (lover’s name) both your lives and your child(ren)'s life would be in mortal danger. You decide it would be best if (your lover) returned to [name]England[/name] for a while to ease suspicions and the two of you share a passionate goodbye in the palace gardens.
That very night (your husband) return’s to court. The two of sit down to a private dinner, which you find strange since neither of you have dined with your children in ages. After a very long stretch of silence he tells you that he knows all about (lover’s name) and (illegitimate child(ren)'s name(s)). That your eldest sister (her name), who you confide in about everything, wrote him a letter telling him all about it. You then realize that your sister, after 15 years, is still bitter because your husband chose you as his wife over her. Your husband goes on to say that you will now be confined to your chambers with only one maid in attendance, and you will be denied further access to all of your children. You are obviously upset and enraged at your husband’s decree, but what will you do about it?
If you had a happy marriage, you are still fond of your husband, so…(roll)
1 or 2: You comply with his wishes until he has had time to forgive you
3 or 4: You apologize for your indiscretions and beg for his forgiveness
5 or 6: You tell him exactly why you had an affair, make him realize his faults against you
7 or 8: You refuse to obey him and he still being in love with you does not have the heart to force you into submission.
9 or 10: (your choice)
The two of you make up and you have another child together, a healthy boy. The name is left completely up to you. However it is only a few months later that your husband dies suddenly of (accident or terminal illness). Your oldest son (his name) is still too young to take the throne so you are crowned [name]Queen[/name] Regent and have all the governing power in the land.
If you didn’t have a happy marriage, you find your husband revolting, so…(roll)
1 or 2: You poison his evening wine. Some people just can’t take their arsenic.
3 or 4: You hire an “acquaintance” to “take care of him”.
5 or 6: You find away to expose his own offenses against his people. Then leave justice to the masses
7 or 8: You don’t have to do anything. Your neglected eldest son does it for you.
9 or 10: You choose, but somehow he dies.
You are finally free of your terrible husband! Since your eldest son is not yet old enough to assume the throne you become [name]Queen[/name] Regent and finally have a large say in the affairs of your country. You summon your lover, (his name) back to court and marry him. Together you have another child, a girl, the name is completely your choice.
You are now her [name]Majesty[/name] [name]Queen[/name] (your name) of (country). List all your children with ages, descriptions and portraits, if you wish.
And that’s the end! That was quite fun to write. [name]Hope[/name] you enjoyed too!
