## Succession to the Throne of Del Sol Valley

### Followed By

Crowned Princess Anastasia of Newcrest

**King Ciaran** of Newcrest is the current **elected co-king** of Newcrest. He was born **the heir to the throne of** **Del Sol Valley**, but ran away and abdicated his place in line with his future wife, **Queen Anastasia I**. Together they have 4 children: The Crowned Princess Anastasia "Leif", Princess Celestyna, Duchess of Newcrest, Princess Janina, and Prince Miron. He and his wife are credited with starting the new royal house of Augustyn of Newcrest, when they were elected joint rulers.

## History

Ciaran was born as a **Prince of Del Sol Valley** to the late King Ronan and Queen Riona. Ciaran and his brother, the future Kings of Del Sol Valley: Oscar and Jarrod, were treated coldly by their parents. They never received the love and attention that they were supposed to. Since Ciaran could remember, Ciaran and his father always fought. They were never able to see eye to eye on things and Ciaran grew up being rebellious and stubborn.

### Betrothed to Princess Anastasia

Despite his son’s feelings, King Ronan forced Anastasia to marry his son after kidnapping her from her home of Windenburg, and their relationship was deteriorated further. Ciaran was upset that he was put into an arranged marriage, but even more angered when his dad didn’t follow his new wife’s parents’ wishes. **The unequal marriage eventually spread all over various countries and Windenburg considered declaring war on DSV.**

### Giving up the throne of Del Sol Valley

Right before the day they were supposed to go through with the marriage ceremony. Ciaran quickly escaped his Dad’s clutches with Anastasia, and returned her to Windenburg. At that point he confessed that he liked her, and she accepted his feelings, but that topic was quickly swept under the rug. When they finally reached Windenburg, her parents were extremely grateful for Prince Ciaran for bringing their beloved daughter home, and encouraged their union if they truly wanted to be together. Since his departure, Ciaran unofficially renounced his title of heir to the Del Sol Valley throne and was taken out of the line of succession, but he was anticipating that and would rather be happy and with nothing, than to stay in a place that abused him for almost all of his life. He lived in Windenburg with Anastasia and her family for around a year, trying to adjust to a more healthy lifestyle and without the stressful demands as a crowned prince in that strict, toxic, and distorted Del Sol Valley.

### As elected king of Newcrest

While Ciaran and Anastasia were living their peaceful life, Newcrest declared its independence from their neighboring countries, who restrained them and put them through various useless wars and tyrannical rulers. The people of Newcrest felt that if they were to establish a completely different and new monarchy, and find two lesser royals or nobles, then they’d have more control and influence over their own lives and country, so Newcrest went searching for good possible candidates for the throne, and they stopped at Ciaran and Anastasia. Around this time, Ana and Ciaran just had their first child, and were fairly popular in Windenburg, considering their forced marriage scandal. When they were asked to come be joint rulers of a new country, the couple were hesitant. Ciaran already had a hard time being the heir to an illustrious throne, so to now be a king in a foreign country and bring his wife into it all, who didn’t really have much experience in ruling with him, was a huge risk. Newcrest officials assured him and Ana that they’d only be figure heads/representatives for their people and country, and that they’d be protected. Anastasia’s parents supported the idea and encouraged them to take the opportunity, and Anastasia requested that the country take a vote to see if a monarchy is really what they wanted. Turns out, the majority of the nation agreed and the couple were enthusiastically proclaimed King and Queen Regnant of Newcrest in a grand ceremony. With ascending to the throne, Ciaran decided to change his haus name from Bierne to ***The Haus of Augustyn***, to further distance himself from his past.

## Relationships

As a child, Ciaran was friends with **Princess Anastasia** of Windenburg and Oasis Springs. She’s rather shy and reserved, but Ciaran was able to get her out of her shell, and they used to confide in each other their doubts and problems sometimes, but they both became busy with their own things, and their relationship ended there. When Ciaran found out his dad wanted to arrange a marriage with the princess, he was annoyed that he would try to control him like that, but let it go when her parents refused. He was somewhat of a playboy, and wasn’t ready for the demands of a husband. Despite his son’s feelings, King Ronan forced Anastasia to marry his son, and their relationship was further deteriorated. Out of pity and empathy for his past friend, Ciaran tried to smooth things over with Ana, and they eventually came to an understanding. They get along with each other well and admire each other’s differing traits and opinions. Out of pity and empathy for his past friend, Ciaran tried to smooth things over with his new bride, and they eventually came to an understanding. They get along with each other well and admire each other’s differing traits and opinions. He promised her that he would bring her back home to her family once he gets the opportunity and annul the marriage, but he soon realized that he had fallen in love with her. He refrained from telling her for a long time, since he did not want her to feel obligated or pressured to stay with him and remain his wife. ~~Maybe in a different world, they could've been together.~~

Once Ciaran and Ana made it to Windenburg, a celebration was held at their Windenburg residence to celebrate the homecoming of the beloved princess. Ana's parents could clearly see the feelings Ciaran had towards Anastasia and encouraged him to admit his feelings and make their relationship official. As it turns out, Anastasia felt the same way, and they officially became a couple that very nice. After their marriage and accession to the Newcrest throne, the pair seem to fall in love more and more as the years go by.

He's devoted to his children and promised to himself to be a much better than his own father. However, he does find it quite hard to connect with his youngest child, Prince Miron. He worries that he'll treat Miron the way his father treated him and his brothers. However, Ciaran truly cares for Miron and cherishes the memories he has with his only son.

His relationship with his brother, the late King Oscar, was very icy and inconsistent to say the least. Their relationship was permanently damaged when Oscar discovered Ciaran's plot to escape Del Sol Valley and avoid the marriage to Princess Anastasia. Ciaran, out of love for his brother, offered Oscar to accompany them on their journey, but Oscar was insulted and refused. Afterwards, Oscar was somewhat annoyed that his brother now abruptly put all of this pressure and duty on him, but quickly got over it and thrived in the role, since he longed to be the heir. **Their encounter before Ciaran left his home would be the very last time they ever talked in person.**

Ciaran and the late King Jarrod despised each other. Their personalities were like water and oil, causing them to fight constantly. When their father forced Anastasia to marry Ciaran, Jarrod acted as Ronan's partner in crime and bullied both Ciaran and Anastasia. Knowing how harsh his father's punishments were for fighting his brothers, Ciaran refrained from sticking up for himself, but did defend Anastasia when Jarrod talked bad about her. Around the time the Brother's War began, Ciaran had became elected King of Newcrest. Jarrod actually managed to come to Newcrest to ask for support from his brother in order to get his throne back from King Oscar, but Ciaran refused to help, knowing Jarrod most likely would not help him if the roles were reversed. **That would be the last time the brothers ever spoke.**
