Esmeralda is the name of Lavender’s older half-sister. She is the daughter of the king and his first wife, another queen who died before Lavender was born. She had two children, both girls. As the king said earlier, both are presumably dead. Amaranth here is his second wife, and she has three children. You’ve met only two so far: Lavender and Prince Argotta.
So for those of you keeping track, here’s a list of the royal children from oldest to youngest:
Princess Crimson (1st Queen) (dead)
Princess Esmeralda (1st Queen) (supposedly dead)
Princess Saffron (Amaranth) (secluded in a manor)
Princess Lavender (Amaranth) (secluded in a manor until her escape)
Prince Argotta (Amaranth) (confined to royal operations)
Who Esmeralda is and why she is important will be explored in the next chapter of the story.
Ooh, this is getting good! I can’t wait for the next arc.
Lavender doesn’t seem awfully surprised to hear that her mom expects her to oust her dad from the throne (and probably kill him)…or to hear that her father lied about this half-sister being dead. Sad life.
All the other royal children have color names. Is Argotta a color, then? I looked it up, but it doesn’t seem to be one.
Argotta doesn’t follow the same name scheme as the others.
It’s just a made-up name. XD
The plot thickens, hopefully with Felicia in tow too…….
Great story so far!!! Can’t wait to see what happens
Love the different expressions on their faces and the dialogue :3
