~George Norfolk~

Intro (The castle of Umnire: 2/5) {The kingdom of Umnire is a large province within the globe, boasting one of the best trained military soldiers in the world, and a royal Treasury to rival an entire kingdom income The kingdom is joyous, prosperous, and quite frankly a dream land!} George Norfolk had the perfect life. Compared to others in the Umnire court, George had it easier. with an attractive face and muscular physique, confidence and witty remarks in buckets, an advisor to the king, and a personal favourite of the Crown prince, he practically had the world at his feet. Above all, however, he valued his family and wife, Catherine, living what should have been a happily ever after. This facade of joy and happiness comes crashing down with the birth of their first child, however. What should have been a momentous occasion, with Catherine birthing not only a healthy child but also a son and heir to George's title, soon dissolves into heartbreak and tragedy, with Catherine scumbing to the quick acting Childbed fever only days after the birth. 4 years have passed since then. Despite the substantial amount of time having passed, George still refuses to resurface, wearing only colours of black and gray, and never so much as glancing at another maiden or Gentleman despite his still immense status. The only thing keeping him grounded is his little boy, Henry, a little ray of sunshine and innocence within George's bleak, miserable world. Despite his grief, George slowly begins to emerge from his shell, partially out of necessity, needing to readjust at some pont, but also because of a recent development. Henry's tutor, Robert Tillney. The more time George spends around the man, the more his eyes open to his qualities. His unconditional kindness, his seemingly endless amount of knowledge. After much consideration and seeing how much Henry clings to his tutor, George's mind is set.
