Over the next few weeks, Levia visited Brenton regularly.

Their relationship solidified, much to the delight of the Queen Mother.

But Levia's mother, Nasia, could not deny that she was extremely pleased with Levia's relationship with the young king of Tartosa. The love for Levia had tamed Brenton and he did something he could never have imagined.

After a wonderful evening with his sweetheart, he got down on his knees in front of her.

Levia held her breath.

King Brenton: "Levia, you're making me a better Sim. You ground me. You love me for who I am and don't try to change or manipulate me. I love you. Please marry me."

Levia's thoughts and feelings were overflowing. She could hardly utter a word. "Brenton, this is ..."

She looked at the ring in her hand. Her heart beat wildly against her ribs. She loved this man with all his faults. But he was a king and she was only Levia Gothington.

King Brenton: "Please, spend your life with me. You are the light in my darkness."

Levia: "I'm not a princess."

King Brenton: "That's insignificant. To me, you're a queen. Marry me. Let's show the world who you are, then the world will see what I see in you. And we prove that title and rank are secondary when love has taken control."

Levia looked into Brenton's eyes and knew he was her destiny, her home. She could not and did not want to live without him any longer. "I love you, Brenton. Yes."

The king drew her into his arms and kissed her with full love and friendship, to the point of losing her senses.

While Liora enjoys university life, Nasia started her search for the lost tarot cards of the Order of Lenore.

In addition, her father Benjamin made a last request to her.

Benjamin: "You have to heal the wounds that your brother Alden has torn into the family."

Before his tragic death by mold, there was no longer any contact between him and the family and Nasia herself was hated by him.

Nasia hesitated. She had no idea how to do it. "Okay, i'll try."

She sought advice from her mother, Morgan. "This request is so typical of Benjamin." She couldn't hide her grool in her voice. "All right, how about you dedicate a memorial shrine to Alden."

Nasia. "That's a great idea, Mum. Thank you."

And so for some time there was a memorial shrine for Alden in the hallway of the villa. While Nasia shaped it and lit incense, she felt her heart lighten. Maybe her father was right, and she could heal those kinds of wounds in the souls of the Sims and their families.

*******

The next day, Nasia met Edith. Their anger made the whole environment shudder. But Nasia faced her fear and Edith. She tried to talk to her and asked the little girl about Alice.

Edith opened up to her, they even became friends and as a thank you Nasia received a tarot card from her.

*******

The week passed quickly and it became Saturday, on which another prom took place. Since Nasia soon became a young adult, she went. She enjoyed the evening very much and was elected prom queen.

Time does not stand still in Mourningvale either.

Morgan raised Lizzy with all her love, helping her with her unfinished tasks so that her granddaughter could be reborn as soon as the time was right.

Because Lizzy deserved a second chance.

In the meantime, Katharina's restless soul had also moved in. Morgan and Katharina talked a lot about Alden, how he had lost himself in his hatred, lies and bitterness.

That evening, Benjamin had invited himself to dinner. Although he had chosen to spend the afterlife with Grace, Morgan still loved him and, of course, he was always welcome in the house.

Benjamin: "You are striving for a rebirth. Remarkable."

Morgan slipped the fork out of his hand in surprise and clinked onto the plate. "What do you mean, Benjamin?"

Benjamin: "Well, that you want to do the drama and chaos of life again. Our current form of existence is much more desirable and to be honest, Grace and I are even thinking about leaving this behind us and giving our souls back to magic."

It became quiet at the table. Morgan froze. Bewilderment was written all over her face. Katharina and Lizzy looked embarrassed back and forth between Morgan and Benjamin.

Morgan struggled to maintain her composure. The thought of disappearing into infinity, of being erased, had terrified her since she was a child. Thus, she was grateful when Nasia found her and brought her to Mourningvale. Since then, she had fought every day for the lost souls.

However, she was not aware that Benjamin was also one of the lost. "If you are truly convinced that infinity is the right path, then so be it. However, there is no turning back from there."

Benjamin: "I'm aware of that." His gaze fell on Katharina and Lizzy. "Lizzy, I understand your longing for life, since you died far too early. But Katharina, you had a long life, a husband, two wonderful children ..."

Katharina: "Alden and I didn't have a happy relationship, you know that as well as I do."

Benjamin: "You went your separate ways. You were happy with this woman in the end."

Katharina clenched her hands into fists. "And yet it is not enough for me. I want a second chance."

Benjamin looked at her in confusion.

Morgan cleared his throat. "Alden has also chosen rebirth. A few days ago."

Now it was Benjamin who was frozen. "Alden?!"

Back in Ravenwood ...

Clementine's Shih Tzu Freddy has since passed away and his ghost now lives with Nasia in Mourningvale.

********

Photos of the twins ...

♥️Lizzy♥️

♥️Levia♥️

********

A few hours later, Nasia and Clementine met with the twins in the park.

Nasia: "How is Liora? Samuel seems to be doing her good. It seems as if she has overcome Neon's death."

Clementine sighed, "Yes, it seems so."

Nasia: "Isn't that so?"

Clementine: "But I do think so. They seem to be very happy together. This evening, they are going to Tartosa for a romantic weekend."

Nasia: "Why do I have the feeling that you are worried?"

Clementine laughed. A hysterical sound. "You know me too well. Yes, I am worried. I cannot gauge Samuel, what intentions he has. How he feels about Rahel. Yes, I am concerned for my daughter and my grandchild."

Nasia: "You will see, everything will fall into place. He seems very decent to me. A gentleman."

While Liora was on her date, her mother Clementine met with Danielle and her husband John Black, as well as Edward and his wife Christina.

It was the first time that a family council was held without the founder of the family, Benjamin.

Clementine: "There is still nothing new from the vampires. It seems like after Dad's death, they suddenly lost interest in our family."

Danielle: "You don't believe that. Aunt, I beg you."

Clementine: "Imagine that I do. It would be desirable if the vampires had ended their aggressions."

Danielle: "Desirable?! Aunt, we must take advantage of the calm and finally take action against these bastards and strike back."

Edward: "I see it like Aunt Clementine."

Christina: "We should listen to Danielle's suggestion, dear. At the moment, they do not expect an attack. That's why we had the element of surprise on our side."

Edward: "We have buried enough relatives. Do you not think so, Christina?!"

Clementine: "I agree with Edward. We should not jeopardize the peace."

"Danielle: 'You are fools if you speak of peace in the current situation. The vampires are merely waiting to strike again. If you are too cowardly, I will take care of it alone.'"

*******

A few hours later ...

Liora: "How was the meeting, Mum?"

Clementine sadly: "Don't ask, honey. Danielle loses herself in her grief and seeks revenge. But I think that's the wrong way." She smiled sadly at her daughter. "I wish Dad was still with us. Danielle always listened to him."

********

Liora spent the night in Glimmerbrook and received another surprise visitor.

[thegothingtons]

And while in the Royal Simworld the rivalries deepened, the lives of two young ladies of the Gothingtons changed fundamentally.

Levia and Rahel arrived on a rainy afternoon in Brindleton Bay.

The old walls of the Brindleton Bay Institute intimidated Levia from the very first moment. However, she refused to admit that to Rahel.

Rahel: "Isn't that exciting?"

Levia laughed uncertainly: "Yes."

Rahel: "Just wait, Levia. We will both go far. You will certainly become a successful lawyer and I will be a veterinarian with my own animal clinic."

Levia did not respond. The truth was, she did not know who she wanted to be in the future. She only knew that she already missed her home in Ravenwood.

She closed her eyes for a moment and thought of Lizzy. Her twin sister had always been the braver of the two. The strength that drove Levia when her fear became too great. How was she supposed to manage all of this, to fulfill the expectations of her family?

Breaking News!

During today's meeting of the United Simnations, a shocking incident occurred. Following His Majesty King Alexander de Windenburg's speech regarding the treatment of refugees from the Middle East, a dispute arose between His Majesty and the King of Tartosa.

It is well known that King Brenton Laurenton of Tartosa is very hot-tempered; however, for a disagreement between the majesties to escalate into a physical altercation is a scandal and unbecoming of both royal houses.

Previous | Next | Beginning

[thegothingtons]

While luck moved into the house of Laurenton on Tartosa, the house blessing in the house of deWindenburg hung more than crooked.

Word had spread among the people that Crown Prince Alexander had taken a mistress and that he had bought an estate in Glimmerbrook for this woman. Rumors of an illegitimate child also arose. No one in the palace or in parliament was very happy about it. Least of all his mother Bella. Therefore, she traveled to Glimmerbrook to confront the woman.

When Bella de Windenburg entered Gothington House, she secretly cursed herself for insisting on hiring Annabell Gothington as her son's private secretary almost a year ago.

It was a warm afternoon, so she found Annabell in the pool. She stared angrily down at the young woman.

Annabell was startled when she noticed the presence of the Queen. "Your Majesty."

Bella: "Come out immediately. We have to talk."

*******

Annabell: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, you are in my house."

Bella silenced her with a single cold look. "Oh, please forgive me, Duchess. What was I thinking?" The two women stared at each other. But Annabell did not think of giving up the fight. Anger overwhelmed Bella again. "It's probably because my family pays for all this here and your title. That was a very nice gesture from Alexander to pay his whore with it."

Annabell: "I'm not not a whore. He..."

Bella: "What? He loves you? Do you seriously believe that? He is the king, his love is for Windenburg and his people alone. You are just a pastime."

Annabell began to tremble, but she straightened her shoulders. "We have a son together. Albus is..."

Bella made a contemptuous sound. "An illegitimate bastard. Nothing more, without a legal claim to the throne."

Annabell: "Who says that Albus will one day become king? This accursed throne. Alexander is unhappy. Do you really believe Your Majesty, I would wish that for my son. oh watchers forbid."

Bella: "You're going to get married and fast. Did you understand me, Duchess?"

Annabell swallowed. "Why should I?"

Bella shot angry glances at her son's lover. "Because you're smart enough to know that this scandal won't be good for either the king or you."

Annabell backed away a few paces from Bella. "It's about the crown, stability in the empire."

Bella nodded. "Exactly. This scandal could shake the crown and thus the whole empire would be in danger. Therefore, your marriage was not a request. I can help you choose the appropriate candidates."

Annabell wished from the bottom of her heart that Bella de Windenburg was wrong, but at the same time she knew that her majesty was right. With everything. The scandal would ruin Alexander. She had no choice but to look for a husband.

********

Meanwhile, the king celebrated a lonely birthday with Crown Prince Edward.

Happy birthday future king.

[thegothingtons]

After Clementine's death, the Gothingtons quickly found their way back to their everyday lives, which meant that the next birthdays were coming up for the large family.

Liora would become an adult.

Danielle: "All the best."

Levia: "Happy birthday."

*******

And in the Viscount's house, Abram also became a young adult.

All: "Long live he. Happy birthday."

Edward just came in the door all excited. "I have fantastic news."

Confused, everyone stared at him.

A broad grin unfolded on his face. "Don't ask me how or why." His voice trembled with excitement. "We are invited to the palace. The invitation comes from Crown Prince Alexander himself."

There was silence for minutes. Everyone had to process the information for themselves.

Christina murmured, "We're invited to the palace."

Abram: "This is a great honor."

Annabelle: "The crown prince! May I come along?"

Edward: "Annabell, no. I'm sorry, honey, but I think the invitation is more far-reaching than we all think."

Christina: "You mean you'll get a permanent position at court."

Edward nodded. "I heard that the king has dismissed his advisors. He will probably resign soon and leave the throne to the crown prince."

Christina: "Oh, that's wonderful."

Abram skeptical. "These are just speculations. I suggest we go and listen to what the royal family wants."

Edward: "You're right, Abram."

A few days later was Nasia's wedding to Jakome Franklin. The two had to wait a long time for this day.

Only the closest family circle was invited. Danielle, Edward, Liora, Clementine, and Reginald.

Nasia's heart seemed to beat over and a thousand butterflies seemed to dance in her belly. Only when the guests had sat down and she stood with Jakome under the wedding arch did she calm down.

She looked into his beautiful eyes and knew that he was the father of her girls, even if not the biological one. The girls were special, and Jakome loved them as if they were his own daughters. He would never allow her or Lizzy and Levia to be harmed.

Jakome: "Nasia, love of my life, I will stand by you in good days and bad, as long as I live. I love you with every breath."

Nasia: "Jakome, you are my lover, my friend, my confidant. You accepted the girls as your own without asking much questions. You love us as we are and I, we love you as well. You are my soulmate. I want to love you with all my being, until the end of my life."

Benjamin was satisfied, he was ready to leave his life behind. Which was most likely because he had been looking forward to finally being together with the love of his life again. After he had to spend three-quarters of his life without Grace and raise their children alone.

He had often visited her grave, whenever his despair was at its greatest.

His anticipation was so great that her presence here in the villa in Mourningvale triggered a storm of emotions and happiness in him. He could hardly believe that he was facing her, that nothing could separate the two of them anymore.

Drunk with love, Benjamin and Grace renewed their wedding vows, alone in the almost empty living room of the villa. 🥰

Then they disappeared together into their shared life in the afterworld. ❤️

[thegothingtons]

At the same time in Windenburg ...

Viscount Edward Gothington visits the royal family de Windenburg with his wife Christina and eldest son Abram.

The Gothingtons were surprised to meet Baron Jakome Franklin, Nasia's husband, at the palace. His Royal Highness Crown Prince Alexander had a very animated conversation with him.

Abram: "Dad, why are we here?" It was clear to him that he did not feel comfortable here in the palace.

At that very moment, Her Majesty Queen Consort Bella de Windenburg came to them. Of course, she had heard Abrams' question. She gave both of them a disapproving look.

Edward smiled painedly. "Because it's an honor to be here," he hissed at Abram. Then he spoke to Bella de Windenburg: "Your Majesty, you have organized a wonderful party. It's an honor to be here."

Bella de Windenburg: "I am pleased that they consider the invitation an honour. Obviously, I couldn't meet everyone's taste."

HRH Crown Prince Alexander: "Baron, I have a vision that all Sims should have the opportunity to be elected to parliament."

His Majesty King Mortimer: "Boy, however, the traditions are well defined. The nobles have a birthright to the seat of parliament."

HRH Crown Prince Alexander: "And that should be changed."

Jakome: "Your Royal Highness, I have to agree with your father. It's a centuries-old tradition..."

HRH Crown Prince Alexander: "I would like to modernise the Crown. This includes rethinking and changing traditions. By the way, the prime minister sees it the same way as I do."

Majesty King Mortimer: "Of course he does. He and his party would prefer the crown to disappear. That must never happen."

Jakome: "The crown stands for stability and prosperity in the kingdom of Windenburg. The Sims need the crown and your family, Your Majesty."

A few weeks later...

Annabell gave birth to a healthy boy.

She looked him in the eye and, for whatever reason, had to think of her grandfather Alden, whom she was never allowed to meet. Although she knew the terrible stories about him, she still believed that someone should have fought for him. The family should never have left him to the vampires. Alden Gothington deserved forgiveness and a second chance.

In memory of her grandfather, she named her son similarly.

It was Albus' birthday and he became a toddler.

********

What none of the Gothingtons could have known was that the infant Albus in their arms was actually Alden's reincarnation.

Let's see if he will take his second chance.
