The King decided, as the Prince of Wales, his son should have his own estates, so he gave instructions to have Alexander to be moved to the castle in Wales.
Packed and ready to go, the Prince set on for the long journey to Wales, little did he know that his stay would be a short one.
Soon it was time to celebrate the twin's, Macario and Claudette's first birthday, the King was fond of all his children and love to throw large banquets to celebrate their birthdays.
The Queen was curious what the King had planned for her son, the Prince. She knew that her son would only become King of England, if the Prince of Wales died, but he was an excellent health, so her sons would be given Dukedoms.
"Has Your Majesty though what title shall be bestowed on the Prince Ferdinand, your son?" asked the
Queen
"Ferdinand is going to be made Duke of Edinburg and also..." said the King as he trailed off
"And? Your Majesty?" asked the Queen
"You'll see, don't worry my dear, you won't be disappointed" said the king
And then the their was a knock on the door
"Come in" said the king
Governess Mary-Sue walked in the room
"Your Majesty, the Spanish Ambassador is asking for an audience with Your Majesty? said Mary-Sue
"Thank you Lady Governess" said the King
He then lean closer to whisper something in her ear.
"Will you meet me in the library later tonight? whispered the King
The Governess nodded in agreement.
Later that night, after putting the royal children to bed and leaving instructions with servants, Ms. Mary-Sue made her way to the library. the King was already there.
"Your majesty, you wished to see me?"
"Yes, it's a shame that you have to wear black, the color blue suits you better." the King said as he gently pulled Ms. Mary-Sue closer to him.
Ms. Mary-Sue blushed as she was pulled in closer and closer to the King.
"Dance with me Ms. Mary-Sue" Proclaimed the King and ordered music to be played.
The King and Ms. Mary-Sue danced the night away.
The Queen wanted a portrait done of her and her children, she was anxious of having it done as soon as possible, she could help but feel something was coming.
The King called the Prince Ferdinand into the throne room, he was going to bestow a title on the young Prince.
"Ferdinand, Prince of England, it is my great pleasure to bestow upon you the title of Duke Edinburg"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best to do my duty as Duke and make you proud"
"But it's also my great displeasure to inform you that my uncle, the King of Spain is one his death bed and since he has no sons, he has named me as
Prince of Asturias"
Everyone in the room gasps, it was something that had been in the making with the help of the King's ambassadors and the Spanish ambassadors, no one knew of this, not even the Queen.
"I have decided to pass the title and the crown of Spain to my son, Prince Ferdinand"
Everyone rejoiced, the Queen was in shock, she was overjoyed with the rise of her son, but he was made heir to the throne of Spain, she knew when he would be made the Duke, he would be given his own estates and would not live at court, but it would be a long time before he would move away from court. As the Prince of Asturias, He will need to be prepared to be a ruler, like the Prince of Wales, but unlike the Prince of Wales, her son is the heir to a foreign throne.

And as the heir to a foreign throne, he was sent to be prepared to become the ruler, with a heavy heart, but a strong face, she said good bye to her first born son. She knew he would protected and looked after, his Governess and tutors would make sure to give her weekly reports, but it would do nothing for the pain she was feeling in her heart, at the sight of her child being sent from her side.
And to make maters worse, her husband, The King passed away the following week.
(I'm not even joking, Mortimer died the day Ferdinand left the house, he was so upset, his father had died and his mother wasn't the household to comfort him, I was so sad watching him go through all that, I invited Dina to come over everyday until he stopped the auto-crying.
