Perhaps George will have a son with the Duke but then she will lose that boy because he is destined to rule the kingdom so he cannot grow up in a commoner's cottage? And I fear the friendship with Amara might be at risk if the romance with Griffin continues?<br /><br />On a completely different note, you and I seem to play our legacies quite alike; letting the sims' wishes lead the way on much of the story. I quite enjoy playing like that because I think it gives the sims more life.<br /><br />Also, your pictures are so so beautiful.

Slaying three children sounds very nasty, and I'm rather dubious about his wife's "illness"... The comment from the serving girl to Georgia when she referred to the Duchess as an "old hag" was interesting, suggests a lot of undercurrents to me as servants wouldn't normally dare make comments like that about the mistress of the house - suggests to me that either she's very unpleasant or the entire household is against her with the encouragement of the Duke...<br /><br />I foresee trouble for Georgia here, Amara isn't going to be happy about her starting a relationship with Griffin, and if the Suke is set on her giving him a warrior son he's not going to be best pleased either and his displeasure could have serious consequences for all of them.AliHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15088235841224977814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-55943952958956633462014-06-17T15:53:06.296-07:002014-06-17T15:53:06.296-07:00Thank you Megan!

Griffin is a sweet guy, and I really wanted to show how his friendship/romance with Georgia progressed naturally and organically, in comparison to other relationships in her life. *cough*<br /><br />Yes, yes, and yes! You hit the nail on the head, Misty! On all three accounts. The duke’s cold, detached attitude toward his wife certainly does not bode well, and his conversation about his plans for Georgia seems quite ominous as well. And murdering children is rarely a good sign either, lol.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment! <3Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791098360536318915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-30424322646800037112014-06-17T15:51:13.009-07:002014-06-17T15:51:13.009-07:00I’m curious, why does Lord Draven amuse you?

Sunny, you kill me! XD
You are such a g...BAHAHAHA! Sunny, you kill me! XD<br /><br />You are such a good reader! You always pick up on the smallest of hints. =D I won’t say anything more about the duke now, except that your hunches usually prove dead on, at least in regards to my stories.<br /><br />As for Amara, I believe that a lot of her actions before her mother’s death (such as the late nights at the tavern, the string of guys, her generally defiant and reckless behavior) were driven by a deep-seated desire to rebel against the life they lived together, but I don’t believe her love for (and possessiveness of) Griffin was motivated by anything other than her true feelings for him. So yes, she probably will be jealous of Georgia’s relationship with him, if/when she ever finds out about it.<br /><br />However, I should clarify that the reason Amara moved in with Georgia had less to do with her grieving over her dead mother and more to do with the convenience and safety of two young women living together in an undeniably male-oriented society rather than risking the dangers (and extra work) of keeping up two separate residences. Amara practically lived with Georgia anyway at this point; she merely made it “official” once her mother passed on.<br /><br />Yeah, I loved that letter too! I definitely LOL’ed when I read it. =DBuckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791098360536318915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-34517234329932939802014-06-17T15:47:33.827-07:002014-06-17T15:47:33.827-07:00You are a wise soul, Rei. =D The duke has done not...You are a wise soul, Rei. =D The duke has done nothing to prove himself trustworthy yet, so I completely understand your reluctance to like him.<br /><br />Thank you for reading and commenting! <3Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791098360536318915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-34580697430791545872014-06-17T15:46:37.425-07:002014-06-17T15:46:37.425-07:00Definitely creepy, but I promise more will be expl...Definitely creepy, but I promise more will be explained next chapter. I don’t blame you for questioning the duke at this point either, as he does seem mighty suspicious right about now.<br /><br />You make a good point about Amara. If she really does have a secret lover, then she should hopefully be less affected by Georgia’s relationship with her ex. However, Amara is not exactly the most sensible woman, especially when it comes to her emotions and her ego, so whether or not that holds true will depend largely on the circumstances (and quite possibly Amara’s mood at the moment, haha!).<br /><br />Thanks for reading! =DBuckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791098360536318915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-52915275649037845752014-06-17T15:43:32.082-07:002014-06-17T15:43:32.082-07:00Thanks Nirar!

Especially if they’re attractive. >:)<br /><br />Amara *seems* to be doing better, but I’m not so sure the cause of her attitude adjustment has to do with her mother or something else. ;) Time will tell… =D<br /><br />Thanks for the ideas! I never even thought about using mistletoe, haha! But yes, their feasts would have been so, so icky to our modern palates. Fortunately, I’m not trying to make this very historically accurate, so I don’t mind if they munch on autumn salads and waffles.

I love that ...Hahaha! Too good looking?! Never! =D<br /><br />I love that you mentioned Henry VIII! I kept thinking about him when I was originally creating the duke’s character. It’s obviously not a direct correlation, but Henry’s saga definitely influenced me when I was writing this generation, so I’m thrilled that you saw the connection between the two of them.<br /><br />Yeah, Amara is a bit of a wild card still, but I do have plans for her. Nothing too terrible (I’m saving most of that for Georgia >:), but she will certainly have a pronounced reaction to the relationship between her bestie and her ex-boyfriend. What that is, however, remains to be seen.<br /><br />No, it’s not a werewolf that Griffin was talking about. I do hope to throw in some other supernatural types eventually, but that’s for another generation, hehe. The “acquaintance” that he was referring to will make an appearance in my next update, though, so you’ll meet him or her soon, but their connection to the moon and the lunar cycles does not become apparent for a while yet.<br /><br />Thanks for reading! =)Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791098360536318915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-61504673965001383702014-06-16T15:09:41.884-07:002014-06-16T15:09:41.884-07:00Oooo... wonderful update!

That makes me like Griffin even more :D I also like how it seems they've developed a friendship before he really pushed the romance on her, that just feels right. <br /><br />The duke, on the other hand D: My initial opinion of him certainly got dashed! While he can't exactly be blamed for being in a loveless marriage, it seems like cold treatment of his wife, him being so callous about her condition, not to mention cold and scary about his designs on Georgia.

While I'd like to say that I hope it's all just a front for machismo, that his servants avoid him and refuse eye contact with him is a bit ominous. Until you give further info, I'm going to hope the servants acted like that because he's only rarely there and they are a bit overawed. <br /><br />Hmmmm... Griffin. Is Georgia ready to lose a friend who is grieving so heavily that she's moved in, according to your rolls, permanently? Amara was jealous of his activities when she was with him, I'm not at all positive she wouldn't be just as jealous of his activities with Georgia. Or were her actions before her mothers death, in large part, driven by rebellion against mom? <br /><br />LOL at Griffin's response to Amara's love letter. *gigglesnort.ShakespearesSunshynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019826982875949328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-29219995129896197692014-06-13T12:29:15.450-07:002014-06-13T12:29:15.450-07:00The Duke is giving me seriously creepy vibes right...The Duke is giving me seriously creepy vibes right now.

That's a little creepy to say. Its okay to imagine your future, but it's another thing to be certain of it. I'm not so sure what I think of the Duke right now. Hm...<br /><br />I hope Amara will be alright with the fact that Griffin and Georgia are together. I can't help but wonder how she'll react to finding out her friend is with her ex boyfriend.

I'm probably the... Oooh--and the plot thickens! I'm probably the odd man out here, but I rather like the idea of the Duke being a bad guy---they make such lovely bad guys, lol They are rather close to the throne, and tend to do all that plotting and backstabbing and stuff. However, I do like George, and I hope she doesn't get too hurt over whatever ends up happening. Like, what if she had a warrior daughter and not a son? I daresay that would be one unhappy Duke, lol I'm somewhat curious about these 3 children the Duke says he slayed...hmmm. All very interesting!<br /><br /> I like how Amara has come around, it's sad that it took her mother dying for that happen, but at least she's a better housemate now. It should be interesting what happens when she finds out about Griffin and George though---gossip in small towns is like wild fire, haha<br /><br /> Some medieval type Christmasy/Winter decoration ideas would be like yule logs and mistletoe. The mistletoe is fun, cause sims get a special moodlet when they kiss under it. Maybe a buffet table, lol Cause they liked their feasts---of course their idea of a feast and my idea, are not the same. Some of the stuff they ate---yuck!! lol :P =)Nirarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15253184399668018141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436869084648400373.post-32497771223827640572014-06-12T20:17:47.558-07:002014-06-12T20:17:47.558-07:00Aghh the Duke is a jerk. :C I knew he was too good...Aghh the Duke is a jerk. :C I knew he was too good looking.
