Lady Muriel
As you know, I am Muriel, Lady of Alondae and Queen of Eordain. I have resided here at the castle all my nineteen years; I am the youngest queen to sit on the throne in all our country's history. Beside me sits my noble king and beloved husband, Govind of Athaldain. Our marriage has allied the two countries--Eordain, large and weak, and Athaldain, small and wise. Five hundred years ago the two were one country, but it was split in a great civil war, and only now have the many promises been fulfilled, as Athaldain and Eordain are again one.
I have never considered myself queenly; in fact, it was my brother Caedmon who was to ascend the throne. But he, after the noble struggle of which I will later tell, bowed to my beloved and I as the rulers of our country, realizing that it was never his to rule after all. And so Eordain has a girl-queen--for I am not above a long ride in the valley, or a game with the children in the city. Govind tells me I must never forsake such pastimes, and I know that he speaks truth, for with his coming all wars have ceased. The terror from the south is quelled, and our countries are united. Here in Alondae, I know that all is well.
