[Oktavia stared at the symbol she'd drawn on the paper again.]
...Ohhh. I didn't know that - Thank you, Lord Kyle!
[Kyle, in the meanwhile, was tilting his head.]
It's not an emblem that's used very often anymore, I think. The last time anybody officially used it was when the Queen Clara of the Gold Kingdom married her third and last husband -
[And then, he grimanced.]
...Who was also the father of You Know Who, as I just recalled. Gaah...
[Oktavia's mouth dropped open, then.]
- Queen Clara's third husband - Oh! I mean, I'd heard stories about the Gold Queen marrying her Royal Servant but, um...
[Kyle sighed, then.]
- Technically, Rodry whateverhisnamewas did have a title, since you can't serve Royalty directly without one, but he only was a very minor noble. The Gold Kingdom's Royal Council was aghast at the very notion of the Queen marrying her Royal Servant, from what I heard, but, um -
[Oktavia narrowed her eyes. Wait, so did that mean the late Queen Clara was pregnant already when she got married to her servant-husband? Good grief!]
...Well, anyway, after a while, the Council gave in. It helped that Queen Clara already had two Princes and a Princess with her properly high-ranking late husbands, of course.
So the Queen did manage to get officially married, but the Council wouldn't even give Rodry the title of Prince Consort, so Queen Clara decided to use her family's private crest in the ceremonies instead.
[Kyle sighed a bit, then.]
...You know, I do wonder what would have happened if all the heirs besides You Know Who hadn't just died in that shipwreck like that, I really do...
