Silverus Von Rozenburg

Death
King Silverus died in a fire. At that time, Silverus was painting in the royal painting room. No one knew who or what caused the fire. His body was discovered by Queen Victoria. King Silverus' death happened very suddenly, and caused some difficulties for the Oasis Springs Royal Family - one of which concerned the succession to the Throne of Oasis Springs. When King Silverus died, Crown Princess Erica was unmarried and although talks of an arrange marriage had been ongoing with other Kingdoms, Erica had yet to choose her suitor. It was a long standing rule in Oasis Springs that to succeed the throne, the successor must be wed.

Three days after King Silverus' death, Queen Dowager Victoria announced that Crown Princess Erica and Prince Phillip of Sol de Valley were engaged to be married, and they would be wed in a simple ceremony at Castle Avarice. The grand wedding would be held after Crown Princess Erica's coronation. As Oasis Springs is an absolute monarchy, the lack of a head of State would result in unrest in the Kingdom, thus, the coronation had to come first.
