...how much time HAVE I missed? [Aaaaaall the worrying.]
Ly'Vuusia is a kingdom. Long ago, it was two kingdoms, but due to their bonds and the constant attacks from outsiders, they came together to form a truly powerful kingdom. We'll often take in others who have been lost to their kingdom in one form or another as well.
At present, it is Prince Royal that is heir to the throne. The natural born princesses and those adopted are the warriors who protect him, myself included.
