A memory to cherish (Charles II of Spain fanart)

Authors note: A story based on fact

In October 1700, Charles II's health continued to decline. By this time, he had lost most of his loved ones, and the court was in a state of panic regarding the issue of succession. The days of joy were behind him; he struggled to walk and could hardly travel. His problems with the country escalated, and his wife's attitude only added to his distress. All he could do now was attempt to address the crisis that Spain was facing. However, he felt overwhelmed, bearing the weight of his country's fate on his shoulders. He knew he needed peace of mind before making any decisions.

One afternoon, after his prayers, he walked around the palace, gazing out the windows and strolling down the hallways." I used to run and play here," he thought, reminiscing about the moments in his life that had brought him happiness. As he ventured downstairs to check the rooms, one room stood out. The room showcases a valuable item: the mini-carriage. He gently caresses it, reminiscing about his childhood.

Fanart of Mariana of Austria as a child

Warning: This story have some artistic license

Mariana, the beloved princess of the Holy Roman Empire, was a cheerful and imaginative young girl. She carried her dolls wherever she went, dressing them in different outfits and even feeding them as if they were alive. She would converse with them, pretending they could talk and understand her.

One day, her mother presented her with a special gift. Mariana couldn't contain her excitement as she quickly unwrapped the present to reveal a beautiful doll. Overjoyed, she thanked her mother for such a wonderful gift.

Her older brother, Ferdinand, would play tricks on her by hiding her dolls in various places. Although he would join her in play from time to time, their lives were largely separate during that period as he focused on his duties.

Mariana of Austria had a passion for playing with dolls as a child.
