Description:It was for my country… or so I thought.
Succession.
That was my future.
My responsibility.
For my monarchy.
There was no question.
No choice.
I would become King.
And with that title came a necessary addition.
An heir.
I’d decided on a wife,
My best friend,
A woman of Bourbon lineage.
We weren’t in love,
But that didn’t matter –
It never does with royal marriages.
However, there was an issue…
Simon couldn’t bear children.
