K is for Kenric. Uncle to the princess in Swan Queen, Kenric wants only what is best for his country. He'd also prefer if the princess made things simple and married his son, but she seems strongly opposed to his preferences. That includes not marrying him instead.
When the princess fails to marry before her mother's death, Kenric elects himself as regent to give the princess time to grieve. In fact, he'd be thrilled if she never got her act together so he could actually expand the country that had been just riding the waves of mediocrity during his sister's rule. He's got his eye on a neighboring country that produces fresh fruit year round and wine of great renown. Now, if only he can get rid of that princess, Togarth might go somewhere great.
Likes: Young beautiful girls, good wine, people who do what he tells them to.
Dislikes: His son, the princess, and anyone who stands in the way of his vision of Togarth coming to fruition.
He sounds like the Grand Viziers in the 1001 Nights tales. They were always in the wings scheming to take over.
ReplyDeletewell Kenric sounds like a dastardly customer - thnx always like to engender a snicker where I can :)
