So ends the reign of King Bryce. It was a short one, but things like that happen sometimes. He may have been the shortest reigning king on Itherian history. That may be something to be pleased by. Fortunately for the story of your dynasty though, that was not the end.

Countess Marissa, upon murdering King Bryce untied him and tied herself using magic. She screamed and struggled until The King's Guard came running in. They found the slain king and a captive Marissa. She claimed that whatever madness had infected her had transferred to The King and that he had tied her and **** her on the chair until she managed to grab a knife and stab him in defense.

Several people were skeptical of her story, however when her belly began to swell in a few months, the council had **** but to declare her unborn child as heir and her as regent per the customs and traditions of Itheria once the child was born. She stayed in the castle for the duration of her pregnancy until she gave birth to the new King or Queen of Itheria.

This is where the story of your dynasty picks back up.
