Ten years have passed since you married [name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]Raoul[/name_m] of [name_f]Austria[/name_f]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a year after your first child is born the Princes parents [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] and [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] both met their end. [name_m]How[/name_m] did it happen?
If you don’t have an agreeable marriage they die under mysterious circumstances. What were they?
[name_m]Both[/name_m] the [name_m]King[/name_m] and [name_f]Queen[/name_f] choked while they were dining; whether it is poison is unknown.
