We are starting a new year with the Monach!! My sweet Queen Julie.. So changes that I want to go over a little before I start the update.. I decided to give my characters Traits,, So if you see some behavior changes this is why.. I will tell you what their traits are.. BUT, when a child is born it gets one trait from each parent at babyhood.., child one new trait, teen one new trait, finally adult it gets it's last trait.. That way they become rounded..
Another new thing is, when people have children there kids will get randomized personality traits of there parents. EXAMPLE: Sim A has 4 nice points, Sim B has 10, their child will either get Sim A, Sim B or Random for there nice points.. That way children are more like their parents.
Okay, lets get in on year 3 of the Gang Family.

Queen Julie starts her round off in her new castle with her goats. Julie had turned over a new leaf and decided to become a
Vegetarian .

Julie was worried about the new comers though. They would often steal her goats though she couldn't catch who it was. This frustrated her to no end. She decided to send Sterling out to have a talk to the knights about it.

Julie was thankfully all hope wasn't lost though. A few of her female goats had a couple of kids. Julie was over the moon about them and spent a lot of her time with them.

Being a Vegetarian wasn't always easy. Of course Julie had a lot of fruits and veggies to her disposal she sometimes missed a juicy steak. She would settle for this peach though, one of her favorite fruits.

Her cats were doing amazingly well. It didn't seem to bother them that they moved castle often for protection. Sterling wished the cats wouldn't sit on the counters though, he had to cook on those and there fur would often get in the food when they were on the counters.

Still smitten, Julie invites her love interest over but she was having doubts about the woman. She wasn't forth coming with information about herself and often times she didn't want to show any pda.. This puzzled the Queen. She would need to call the gypsy to have a look at the future of her and this woman.

Doing the job of an adviser was a lot more work then Sterling first thought. Checking on the businesses in Ula'ree was on of his daily task. Thankfully as it stood there was only one business in Ula'ree and that was the furniture store at the market.

While there he met with Ajay Manz one of the new residents in Ula'ree. He was excited to meet the man because he heard he had a granddaughter around the same age and Sterling planned to get married one day.

S: You know, your business would do better if you hired someone to run the register for you.. also someone to sell, that way you could focus on making items.
W: Jeez dim wit, I never thought of that. Oh wait, I did!! Pickin' are slim.

With that Sterling headed across the street to the pond. He had a meeting with Robert that was top priority.
Robert: Sterling! How nice to see you again.
Sterling: You as well Knight. How goes the fort?
R: It goes.. So what did you call this meeting for?
S: A few things.. First, someone has been stealing our goats. We have got to tighten up on security for the Queen. Second, someone has been leaving nasty letters for the queen, third, the queen needs you to accompany her to the forest. She needs to speak with the gypsy.
Robert nods his head, "Okay, I will look into the threats to the queen and will accompany her to the forrest. It is dangerous there but her wish is my command."
Pleased with the outcome of the meeting Sterling heads back to the castle.

Upon his return Sterling finds the queen in a deep sleep with her trusted cat. He knew with that cat around nothing would happen to his queen.

The next morning the queen was excited to find all of her goats were where they should be. She always spent her morning greeting each one.

Sterling spent his morning with his garden. He knew they would have amazing veggies this harvest and couldn't wait for them to be done. His mouth watered at the thought. The queen wasn't the only Vegetarian in the castle. When she decided to become one Sterling went along with her.

A sudden fire started in the castle one morning but thankfully the physician had recently moved in and put the fire out quickly. Phillip was a great warlock and Julie was happy that he was apart of her team but being so old he was a bit
Insane. Julie didn't think it was the smartest idea to put the fire out using an ice spell. The castle was frosted for hours after which annoyed the Queen to no end.

With the castle being so cold Julie decided to spend the day outside but her peaceful day was ruined by a knight attacking her.
Random Knight: It isn't smart to be out here alone QUEEN. Someone might, hurt, you.
Queen: Knight, what is your problem!
Random Knight: Just know your days are numbered!
Shocked Julie looks at the eyes of a crazed man. What was he talking about days numbered?

Thankfully Robert had been running tight security around the castle lately and over heard the knight. He quickly pulled up on his great horse and confronted the knight.

Much to the dismay of Robert he was unable to torture the answers out of the knight. He trained his men too good for that. Instead the Knight died of his injuries.

Once Sterling heard the news of the Queen being attacked he raced home. He was glad she seemed okay and he even managed a laugh from her thankfully. As she put it, it was all apart of being queen.

Queen: Thank you Sterling for always bringing a smile to my face when times are hard. I honor our friendship and I am so glad I fished you out of that pond all those years ago.
Sterling: Oh wow, Thank you queen. It is my pleasure to serve the fairest queen of all the lands.

Almost being a goner put some spine in the Queen's back and she invited over her lover. Once within the castle walls her lover showed affection like no other. The queen still felt as though she was hiding something big nonetheless.
Her meeting with the gypsy was fast approaching though so all her questions would soon be answered.

The threat wasn't something Robert could take lightly, he decided to move into the castle and be the Queen's personal protected. They figured this was probably a good rule to have for all future queen and kings.
***********************************

The night finally came. All of the queen's question would be answered. Robert lead the way, the woods at night was a dangerous place for a royal but he would do whatever the queen needed.
Robert: Queen I do not see this gypsy. This may be a setup.
Julie: Rob don't be such a -

Gypsy: Even if this was a set up the queen has nothing to offer me for kidnapping her would do nothing to benefit me Knight.
At that Robert and Julie jump around to see the beautiful woman standing a ways away.
Robert: Jesus! Announce yourself!
Gypsy: I just did. Shall we?
The queen couldn't help but giggle for she had never seen her dear friend so flustered.

Gypsy: What is the knowledge you seek child?
Queen Julie: Well, I am falling for a lady but she seems closed off and -
Gypsy: Stop, I have seen you with this woman, child she is a woman of the night.
QJ: A vampire?
*Robert laughs*
G: No sweet naive child, she is a whore.

At that Robert couldn't keep his laughter in any longer. He laughs with such force he thought he may injurer himself. The queen gives him a dirty look before continuing on with the Gypsy.
QJ: Well everyone can change!
G: Dear, you are terribly stupid if you think that whore will ever be marriage material. I have a better idea for you. I will send one of my ladies around for you. You WILL see a difference. Give your heart to her, for she will treat you well.

After many dirty looks from the queen Robert decided to remove himself from the conversation. He felt as though the Queen was safe enough in the Gypsy's hands. Still chuckling he lays on the hammock and looks at the stars. He didn't see the stars though, he saw the gypsy's face. She was insanely beautiful and he realized he wanted to know more about her.

As the gypsy promised she sent one of her girls around. This one was beautiful, of course, but also friendly. They talked for hours and when it was time for her to go the Queen realized she didn't want her too.

The next morning came with the end of fall. The queen only had one thing scheduled for today, she was to meet with a merchant. The merchant wanted a business license as well as a job for herself. Phillip greets her at the gates.

Queen Julie ended up hiring her on the spot and the girl worked that day. She was to cook and clean for the castle and her hours were from 7am to 9pm. Long hours but good pay. She would make 150 a day for her work. She had weekends off. After her first shift the queen chatted her up. Julie wanted to know all the people of her kingdom.
A/N: Well that was a jam backed season!! My seasons are only 3 days long so as you can see the royals were busy!!! These goat stealers are outrageous! They stole like 4 goats, thankfully the queen makes good money as a queen and was able to buy some back plus were got goat babies!!!!
