Current Events

In the on coming event that Empress Cally's 18th birthday a grand ball is going to be held. Prince Sei, age 2, is said to make an apperance at the start of the ball. It is not know how "grand" the ball shall be, or even who will be attending. It will be interesting too see if the Queen of Rastaban will be in attendence, given the sisters' rocky relationship. Or if any of her Rastabite family will be attending at all.

More speculation is how soon afterwards are the royal couple going to have their own child and not reate it, like Prince Sei was. Emperor Kratos and Empress Cally have promised to try for natural children once she became of age. With her 18th birthday growing nearer it will be interesting to see what happens.
