## Relationships

### Savannah

Savannah is Bartie's mother. In the beginning of his life, he lived with her in Paris, France as she was determined to be a single mother and did not want to be an obligation to his father, Bertrand. Once the truth comes out, she co-parents Bartie with Bertrand until they begin to date again and later get married.

### Bertrand

Bertrand is Bartie's father. During King "Liam"'s bachelor party in Paris, Drake angrily assaults him and informs him of Bartie's existence. Bertrand is shocked as he believed Savannah left for other reasons. After a series of miscommunications and misunderstandings, Bertrand becomes the father Bartie needs and a better man to Savannah.

In *The Royal Finale*, Bertrand states that Bartie is more interested in insects than in fame, which is a fact that Bertrand doesn't want widely advertised.

### Drake

Drake is Bartie's uncle. For a while, Drake did not know of his existence since Savannah had left Cordonia when she was a few months pregnant. In *The Royal Romance, Book 2, Chapter 8,* when investigating an address he found in the Beaumont study, you both happen upon her apartment and hear Bartie cry. You can convince him to stay in a premium scene to let Savannah tell him what happened or you both can leave. If you choose the second, he feels if Savannah had to hide Bartie's existence from him, that she did not trust him. It takes some time for Drake to talk to Savannah again.

### Maxwell

Maxwell is Bartie's uncle. He helped his mother, Savannah, hide his existence from his father, Bertrand, and took care of him since he was born.

### Your Character

If you pick Drake or Maxwell as your love interest, you will become Bartie's aunt. Regardless of your relationship to him, you have the choice to pick Bartie as the ring bearer at your wedding.

### The Heir

He and your daughter are friends who always enjoy playing together. If you pick Drake or Maxwell as your spouse, she will be his cousin.
