And the prince and princess didn’t live happily ever after.
After a few miscarriages, the princess had four daughters in a row.
The prince cheated on her with a maid, producing a bastard.
That was awkward.
And then, the princess had a son.
The king and queen lived well into their eighties, so it took a long time for the prince and princess to take power.
By then, the kingdom was a bit of a mess financially.
The bastard killed the king, queen, and their family, usurping the throne.
Parliament had him arrested, tried, convicted, and hung.
The people rejoiced.
