For the kingdom of Matalvio, life was pretty simple. No one was really considered peasantry, thanks to the small size of their nation. People didn't fight and life went smoothly.
The Matalvios were a strange people, however. All of the people in the nation had the same father and mother- the King and Queen. The King carried and gave birth to all children in the kingdom. The Queen kept her King producing healthy babies and ran most of the monarchy's duties.
When a couple wanted a child, they would place a request in it at monarchy's Child Guild. They would be placed on the waiting list while the King produced children. Once they reached the top, the newest child would be given to them. A King's pregnancy usually lasted three weeks and always produced a single baby.
And so, young royal Ralaston was sitting at the edge of his Kingly duty. He had been chosen for the kingship long ago, and now that he stood here at the age of 18, he was ready. Now all he had to do was choose a Queen.
"Well, sir, who shall your Queen be?" the Minister asked? Ralaston's eyes ran around the room again at the lovely ladies sitting in the council chamber.
