    - - - - Overall Personality A vindictive and greedy sort, Nicholas de Lacy is a suspicious, overly cautious, yet intelligent young man with a thirst for power. Having been in competition with his brothers since they were children, Nicholas has always had a love of adventure and family secrets. Like all courtiers, he was raised to be a man who put his duties above all...save for perhaps his lust for women...and men. An out-going sort, he thrives on attention from others and constantly looks for an excuse to attend any and every ball in London.

    His desire for attention anywhere he can get it comes from his status as being one of eight children. He is always one to start wars between himself and his brothers, although he is sweet and compassionate, perhaps even protective of his younger sisters.

    - - - - Overall History The fifth of eight children, Nicholas de Lacy was born on April 28, 1489 to Sir Robert de Lacy and Lady Eleanor Montague. While he has always been at odds with his eldest brother James, his next brother George, the family optimist, has always done well to see the good in him, although many say there is none. At the age of five, Nicholas quickly learned the ways of the English court and was taught sword fighting, dancing and even how to ride a horse. He was introduced to his future wife at the age of ten. She came in the form of his cousin, Lady Alice Montague. They were betrothed to marry upon this first meeting and the wedding was set for the spring of 1510, shortly after Alice's sixteenth birthday.

    In the meantime, Nicholas being the middle son, knew he was not destined to inherit his father's title...that is unless his elder brothers are no more. In an attempt to place himself first in the succession, in the fall of 1510, Nicholas slipped poison into a glass of wine meant for his eldest brother James. But unbeknownst to Nicholas, James had left for the country to be with his wife and children; the poisonous drink was accidentally taken by his younger brother Edmund. The incident was witnessed by their youngest brother Matthew, who, like James, believes it was indeed Nicholas who poisoned the wine. Meanwhile, George believes Nicholas innocent of the crime and places the blame on his sister-in-law, Alice. Their father, however, distrustful of most, suspects Nicholas to be at fault, knowing of his son's lust for power.

    Following Edmund's death, Nicholas was married to his cousin, Lady Alice Montague on April 2, 1510 at the family chapel in Essex. Now, one year later, Alice is expecting the couple's first child. While she lies in wait for the birth of a longed-for son, Nicholas has let his thirst for power once again run wild. Knowing James will become the next Earl de Lacy, Nicholas is plotting to marry off his elder sister Margaret to a willing courtier. Meanwhile, he continues to visit London, dancing away at the court balls, playing swords and riding out with his friends at court.

After a long, tiring day of reading - mostly alone -, Nicky joins me in my boudoir to discuss the previous days' momentous events. Our Tatiana, a queen! Dear Olga is to be one, however soon though, is for God to decide, and Anastasia, a new mother now, is in the same position as her dear sister. Only Maria remains here in Russia now, yet so far from us, as she is perfectly content with being the wife of a soldier-made-count with three little ones of her own; I've no doubt there will be another on the way, and soon...that is if Maria has her way! Alas, it is quite lonely here without our other three girlies - the Big Pair has split - one to my precious England, and the other to far away Lithuania - and only one of our Little Pair remains. And one cannot forget Baby! Granted, he is required to remain here, as heir to the Empire...or what is left of it, I suppose. I feel terrible for him, as poor Alexei, he shall not inherit the Empire Nicky had all those years ago; it is simply not the same.

"What is wrong, Sunny?" Nicky whispers, taking a seat beside me on a reclined chaise. He knows my face all too well.

"Tanya is gone." I reply, doing my best not to let out a sniffle, or any hint of tears; my head already aches from the worrying, and another sleepless night. Crying would only make it worse.

"As you knew she would be." Comes Nicky's firm, but gentle reply. "You knew this day would come, Alix. You know how dutiful Tatiana is - why she gets it from you, my love. Christo accepted his place as King, and naturally, Tatiana, darling that she is, felt it her place to be at his side...and with their children."

I know he is right, but it does not ease my suffering any. As a mother, it is difficult to bid farewell to one's children, not knowing if one shall ever see them again. Nothing is for certain, save for with our third daughter...but it is only because she did not marry a prince...or God forbid, an heir! Why if she'd married Dickie Mountbatten, as he'd wished, we would hardly see our dear Masha! And she'd be miserable, no doubt, poor darling. I suppose it is somewhat of a comfort to know that at least one of our girls is happy in her marriage; I cannot say the same for the Big Pair...or even Anastasia.

"But why did he accept it, Nicky?" I demand. I know something went between them; I was simply not told of it until too late. "You talked him into it, I know it! Is it not bad enough we've sacrificed Olga's happiness for that of Mother Russia, you had to convince Christo to take a throne that was just as far from us, knowing Tatiana would follow?"

Nicky sighs, shaking his head. "I did what was best for Russia, Alix. We need allies, certainly now after all the fuss and bother after the Revolution, or don't you remember?" His blue eyes drift to an old photo on the wall behind me - a formal portrait taken just after Anastasia's birth...and I in black, of course, as Grandmamma had passed only six months before. "Lithuania was once part of our Empire...not to mention, Cyril and Ducky had their eyes on it for months. Can you imagine what would have happened had Cyril been proclaimed King? We'd be done for! I couldn't allow it. So I convinced Christo, as my son-in-law and a dear cousin - a close relation! - to take his place as King. So we have an ally in Lithuania, Alix. It's for our own protection."

I nod, feeling a lump form at the back of my throat. "So my desperate need to have my girlies with me, especially dear Tanya, no longer matter to you? That must be it, since you clearly made this decision without my guidance."

Nicky's face becomes red with anger, and he stands from the chaise. "It is your guidance that got us into such trouble to begin with!"

"That's the damned Duma talking, Nicky!" How can he accuse me of such things? "Look at what they've done to you! We would have done just fine without their ignorant interruptions. Now here we are, sacrificing the happiness of our girls all so we can have allies. The girls are paying for what the Duma has done to us. They've ruined Mother Russia, not me."
