The day I married Margaret should have been the best day of my life, but I could not have been more wrong. I ended up losing my best friend, exiled my wife, and I'll never meet the child I thought was mine. My kingdom lost its queen and is now viewed as vulnerable. And if that's not enough I only have one year to find a new queen, or I'll lose my place as king.
