As the monarchs contemplated the momentous decision before them, a flicker of inspiration passed between Queen Isabella and King Edward. They had been deep in conversation while planning their own impending nuptials, realizing that the union of King Louis and Queen Maria would closely follow their own wedding.
King Edward, his mind brimming with the realization of the closely timed weddings, knew that immediate action was necessary. With a sense of urgency, he summoned messengers to deliver a letter to King Louis and Queen Maria, requesting an urgent meeting. Recognizing the significance of the occasion, the royal couple accepted without delay. Days later, in a private chamber adorned with tapestries and flickering candlelight, the monarchs gathered to discuss the weighty matter at hand. As they exchanged stories of their wedding preparations
King Edward cleared his throat, drawing the attention of the gathering. "Dear friends, as we plan our own weddings, we cannot ignore the beautiful synchronicity that lies before us. Queen Isabella and I realized that our ceremonies would be but the prelude to the grand event that awaits us all."
Queen Isabella, a spark of excitement in her eyes, continued. "Indeed, King Louis and Queen Maria's wedding is set to take place not long after ours. It is as if fate itself is guiding us towards a shared destiny."
The other monarchs exchanged intrigued glances; their curiosity piqued. King Edward leaned forward; his voice filled with anticipation. "Considering the proximity of our weddings, it is only natural to question why our union should be limited to mere proximity. Why not seize this opportunity to unite our kingdoms permanently?"
A murmur of astonishment spread through the room, and smiles began to form on the faces of the monarchs. They had grown up together, their friendship forged in childhood, and now they saw the potential to extend that bond to the very fabric of their nations.
King Louis, ever the romantic, raised his goblet in a toast. "To love, friendship, and the future we shall build together. Let our weddings mark the beginning of a new era, where our lands and our hearts intertwine as one."

The sound of clinking glasses filled the air as the monarchs embraced this extraordinary proposition. The notion of ruling alongside their dearest friends, joined not only by politics but also by blood, resonated deeply within them.
And so, from the depths of wedding preparations, an idea blossomed—one that would forever alter the course of history. The merging of nations, the formation of the United Kingdom of Western Europe, became a testament to the enduring power of love, friendship, and the belief that unity could conquer all.
King Edward's eyes gleamed with newfound determination. "But let us not stop at mere unity of lands and governance. If we are to embark on this extraordinary journey together, let us go further. Let us adopt new names, a new identity that symbolizes our united purpose."
A hushed silence fell over the room as the monarchs absorbed King Edward's words. Queen Maria, her gaze fixed on King Louis, nodded in agreement. "To forge a new future, we must shed the old and embrace the new. Let our families merge into one, under a single name, representing the harmony and strength we share."
Queen Isabella's voice carried a note of resolution. "Henceforth, we shall be known as the Regalias, a testament to the regal heritage of each of our kingdoms. And together, we shall establish the royal house of 'House Concord,' a name that signifies the harmony and unity we seek to bring to our lands."
The monarchs, united in purpose, raised their hands in agreement. The room erupted in applause as the weight of the decision settled upon them. From that moment forward, the Regalias of House Concord would reign over the United Kingdom of Western Europe, a beacon of strength and harmony.
And so, in the year 1781, four monarchs, bound by a lifelong friendship, set out not only to unite their lands but also to create a new legacy. As the Regalias, they would lead with a shared vision, fostering unity and a sense of belonging among their people.
With their names changed and the royal house of House Concord established, the monarchs embarked on a new chapter, guided by the principles of cooperation, friendship, and a steadfast commitment to the prosperity of their United Kingdom.
The United Kingdom of Western Europe flourished under the Regalias' rule. Bound by a deep sense of kinship and fortified by their shared experiences, the monarchs led with wisdom and compassion, inspiring their people to embrace the values of unity and cooperation.
And so, the tale of the Regalias and House Concord would be etched in the annals of history, a testament to the enduring power of friendship and the transformative potential that lies within a united front.
