20 years ago when Valentine Morgenstern was just 22 years of age, him and his followers in his little group called the circle took over the Country of Idris and Valentine became King, and took Jocelyn Fairchild as his Queen. Valentine laid out laws that to you and me would so quite bizarre but to everyone else the mainly became a part of Everyday life because the punishments were so harsh. One of the laws was Love, he banned Love he claimed that Love was a weakness and the government (The Circle) Show pick who married how and monitored every single person who entered the schools so they can pick the matches that suit him best. One other thing he banned was magic, before Valentine took over magic was a part of everyday life, I brought life to the country of Idris and help keep everything nice and safe for everyone to live, but valentine could not stand anyone having any amount of power he had. Every single person he could find with magic were sentenced to death.
Everyone feared him. He requested that if parents suspected that their children were gifted (had magic) to be brought to him immediately for testing, although everyone knew there was no testing and he killed them all.
After around a year of his horrible rule, a prophesy that The two most powerful gifted ones will be born of the Branwell line and will be twin girls, these twin girls will overthrow Valentine and bring peace to the Kingdom once again.
To try and prevent this from coming to pass Valentine killed every last person with the last name Branwell and in the Branwell line but he only went back 100 years, so he never discovered that in the 1800s Charlotte and Henry Branwell gave their child Charlotte's Maiden name Fairchild, renaming Henry's Branwell line Fairchild, whereas Henry's Brother Edward continued the last name Branwell.
2 years later Prince Jonathon Christopher was born with looks just like his father.
Then 1 year later Twin princesses were born one with Red hair and green eyes she was named Clarissa Adele and the second princess had strawberry blonde hair and green eyes she was given the name Alexandra Leanna. At this point in time Valentine had no I idea but unfortunately Jocelyn did and she knew she could not hide it from Valentine forever as there gifts would start to show.
