... Why do all my characters have to be connected in some way or another? I'm not writing a real "plan" for my NaNoWriMo novel, but I'm writing up relationships so I have some subplot from the start. Oh, and I have something akin to a villain for once! Gasp! An actual, solid villain? NO WAI. XD

Anyway, allow me to elaborate. This King is married to the Queen, but at some point had an affair/relationship with a Servant, which resulted in a kid that was given up and would later become Apprentice to the Wizard, which no one knows. The King and Queen have two sons, the Crown Prince, and the Younger Prince. The Crown Prince is married to the Princess, but the Princess is having an affair-like relationship/is in love with the Younger Prince, who is engaged to some Lady. Now I'm going to need a few more filler-out characters that are less entwined in this mess, if I can avoid it. Otherwise, we'll have the King be the Wizard's twin brother and the father of all his children, who are the Magical Trio of Doom, and can talk to animals while the Princess and Lady are bffies who have to rally the troops because they're Magical Lady Knights of Awesome, or something. And that would be bad, yes.

ETA; oh, I lied. I'm writing how each person is "haunted", beyond the all-around horror junk that I think I will write out until I have an actual plot written.
