### History

#### Early Life

Germain Fields was born 220 A.M. and was a twin with his sister Alemannia Fields. He was born a member of House Fields. In 225 A.M. many children were entranced and kidnapped by a man playing a pipe flute, in an attempted to kidnap the young Princess Etheria Butterfly. Germain and Alemannia were among those kidnapped. They were taken to the Jaggy Mountains and were held hostage, along with 100 other children by a group of monsters. Days later Asteria Butterfly would rescue them and would lead them back to the Queendom. A storm would cause the group to seek shelter in the Magical Sanctuary. Alemannia along with a few other children would die and be buried in the grounds surrounding the sanctuary (The bodies would later be exhumed and taken back to the Queendom for a proper burial. In 228 A.M. after Queen Asteria started to worry about her daughters future and worried about the disease that afflicted her being passed on, Asteria signed a marriage agreement with House Fields engaging Germain to Princess Etheria. It was also around this time Germain started training to become a knight, under Sir Berry, veteran of the Second Mud Dweller Rebellion, alongside Eagle Redbird, of House Redbird, Tirren Waterson, of House Waterson, Emerald Stone and Amber Stone, of House Stone, Lily Flowers, of House Flowers, Linden Forest, of House Forest, and Sir Berry's nephew Gerold. Germain would later be joined by Etheria Butterfly the same year. On Etheria's first day, Germain stuck her nose with a wooden sword, during a fencing training, who fled to Butterfly Castle with a bloody nose. The two would barely get along from there, and a rivalry ensued from the first day. To get back at Germain, Etheria hit him on the head with a wooden sword. To prevent future conflicts Sir Berry forbade them from training with each other. On Etheria's 10th birthday she would receive her Lonely Star Ball, however he first choice right was overridden by Queen Asteria who ordered her to dance with Germain, due to Asteria hoping a relationship would ensue. Etheria would comment in her diary "Although he mocks and annoys me all the time, he's a lousy dancer. He was clumsy, he stepped on the hem of my dress and my feet all the time. He didn't even know where to put his hands, sometimes too high on my back, sometimes too low. Being so close to him made me feel sick." Later that night Etheria would discover she was engaged to Germain. From then on Etheria and Germain would attend any type of important event together. At a ball in 232 A.M. while dancing Germain kissed her, which resulted in her punching him. This caused the music to stop. Etheria would resume her pose apologize for what had happened then left the room. Germain was present for Etheria's Royal Magic Wand passing ceremony in 234 A.M. During the Butterfly Spring Tournament of 235 A.M. Etheria and Germain began a discussion of who was the strongest and fastest of each other. Etheria suggested a run up a nearby hill. Germain laughed this off and said "I would beat you with a banner on my back." Etheria accepted the challenge and grabbed her families banner and ran up the hill chased by Germain. This drew the attention of nobles who also took up there banners and joined the two. This would be the creation of the game Flags. In 236 A.M. along with the rest of his training group, Germain would be consecrated by Sir Berry, in the name of Queen Asteria, Sir Germain, of House Fields, Knight of the Butterfly Queendom. Etheria and Germain's relationship would mature around their 16 year birthday days. The fights and taunts between the two ended. However the two still had a strong dislike towards each other, as noted in their journals. In 244 A.M. Asteria would die and Etheria would become Queen. The night after the mourning Etheria went to have a private prayer at the Celestum of Jokinna at Butterfly Castle where she would receive and unexpected visit from Germain, where they spoke privately for the first time in years. The details of the conversation are unknown. Days later, after the night before the coronation Etheria was attacked by monsters in her bedchamber but would survive.

#### King Consort

Days later Etheria was crowned Queen at her coronation and Germain was present. Their marriage would happen 3 weeks later where Germain would be granted the title King-Consort by Etheria. On her wedding night Etheria and Germain were attacked again by monsters while they were asleep. Etheria and Germain killed one and Knights surrounded another, Etheria would let him live, Etheria wrote about "Except for the embarrassing moment my extra marks provided, it wasn't the nightmare I expected it would be. He was sweet and kind, and said he wouldn't make me do anything I didn't want to, which made me more calm and more confident to say yes. Maybe he's not as bad as I imagined. However I must say that I felt as if he was a little distant... Or maybe i'm thinking too much after the attack." The monster Etheria let live she had tracked by a scouting group led by her uncle Harvest Butterfly. There were only two to return from the scouting party and told Queen Etheria that her uncle had been killed by a Septarian along with the rest of the group being killed by other monsters. Etheria would declare war on the monsters days later. The night before Etheria and Germains departure with the rest of the Butterfly Army, Etheria found it difficult to sleep. Germain noticed and asked if she was scared after seeing her hands shaking, to which Etheria responded yes. Germain responded that it was a good thing, Etheria asked why, and Germain said "It means your not stupid and know what you're doing." In the case it was the last time the two saw each other Germain made a confession to Etheria. He reveled that Etheria reminded him of his deceased sister Alemannia, in the way she acted, spoke, and behaved. Germain told Etheria that he used to provoke her because he saw her as "A flawed and imperfect copy of her (Alemannia)." The night was a turning point in the way Etheria saw Germain. The Butterfly Army left the Queendom at dawn, however it is unknown if Germain was present with them as he is not listed in records, however it is likely he either stayed in the Queendom serving as regent or accompanied the group but was felt unnecessary to include due to his high status. In 246 A.M. Etheria started to get a desire for a family. After Etheria's friends told her that Germain told them they thought she was pretty Etheria decided to try to approach Germain. She would go to dinners with him, ride unicorns with him, and walk in the gardens, they also started talking. They two started to realize they had a lot in common, even kissing sometimes in the garden. In 247 A.M. Etheria announced her pregnancy and due to this pregnancy, Etheria could not participate in the Dracoball Interdimensional Cup and Germain would act in her place. Days later Etheria and Germain would have their first daughter Princess Skywynne Butterfly, heiress to the throne. In 250 A.M. the couple would have their second child, Princess Noturna Butterfly. In 266 A.M. Etheria would receive a letter from the self proclaimed Emperor Lupus, from the Lupus kingdom, who had conquered most kingdoms of the region. The letter preached male supremacy, saying that all Queens would be killed and their Queendoms conquered and that all Kings should 'bend their knees' warning that all who stood in their way would be killed. Etheria would respond by saying the the he could march to the Butterfly Queendom but that is walls would hold. The Mewnistry and Germaid both thought it was a bad idea. She gathered 3,000 of the Queendoms best knights, including Germain, 50 carts of dry grass, and House Butterfly's 8 dragonettes and marched to The Tooth Gorge. The Butterfly knights scattered the dry grass through the gorge. Then the Butterfly forces would hide in the mountains. When the Lupus army passed through Etheria ordered the dragonettes to be released, who had not eaten in days (Dragonettes each dry grass and hay). The dragonettes set the grass on fire, encircling them in fire. This killed 70% of the Lupus Army, and the Butterfly Army would then finish the rest of the army off, gaining the Queendom the victory. King Lupus and his 4 sons were killed personally by Etheria. This became known as the Battle of the Gorge. The only survivor was Princess Minerva, the youngest daughter of King Lupus. She appeared to be mistreated by her family. In order to seal a peace accord, Minerva was forced to marry Prince Laurel, of the Laurel Kingdom, which had been conquered and destroyed by the Lupus Kingdom, and had become a hostage of the war. The wedding ceremony took place in the Laurel-Lupus Kingdom in 267 A.M. Etheria and Germain were present with other monarchs from neighboring kingdoms. At the end of the feast, the music stopped and Minerva stood on the podium and said her family motto "The Wolf howls and the Night falls." No one understood until Queen Etheria was stabbed in the back. Before Germain, the knights, and the other guests had time to react Lupus knights disguised as guests attacked. 60 people were killed and King Laurel was taken hostage again. Etheria in her dying breaths asked Minerva why and she told her that she was never mistreated by her family and she had taken them from her. This event became known as The Lupus Massacre. The Queen Etheria died and was taken back to the Queendom. Germain was also killed during the massacre. His bones would be returned to the Butterfly Queendom only after the defeat of the Lupus Kingdom, months later.
