So, like Emma asked does anyone have any ideas? I think I may have Lilith's (if she is approved) father be charged with embezzlement or something along the lines. As for how well she knows other characters I am open to suggestions. Also, as far as pre planning goes I think I'm going to have Lilith's father have an affair of some sorts at one point and then the women he did have one with has a son. Or, have him already have a son that shows up. Either way, something to complicate Lilith's life being an only daughter.

How long has Lilith been at court? Catalina has been at court for 5-6 years now. And Rupert has only just come back after a long time of fighting in Manora.

Personally I would like to here some more history or backstory on the different countries. 

For the sake of writing out my characters bios, I took into account all the info on the countries stated in the OP. But added onto it in my mind. 

First off that Friesia and Manora are enemies, though both are loyal allies to Indra of course. 

King Jerome of Friesia has just ended his occupation and campaign in Manora that had been going on for many years. 

I also see Manora as a kind of exotic place different from the rest of the countries. Steamy jungles, different standards/ideals/culture/religions/beliefs...idk something kind of like Asia/Turkey/India/Africa compared to France/Italy/England/Germany. But still all monarchies, and same technological advances.   

Also is there any religious order that hold power over kings. Like the pope and cardinals in Catholicism during the 1600s. Or like Greek mythology and how kings would seek guidance/council from the oracle.  Idk
