quinlan n lamorte families

on second pic: pandora - middle kid, dad`s favorite tbh; hans - homophobic and evil bitch, not just because he wants to own a whole continent, but also because he hates his sons bc they're not good enough due to his ideals; ursula - was too young and too unaware of all horrors hans will make her to go through, but tbh she's very loyal and very kind person; amadeus - just clues dumb dumb baby, knows nothing but wine and be dumb, idk, maybe he eats cheese? from all kids,  only pandora was ready to conquer a whole continent, if you'll ask hans. morty is so weak and distant, that hans even refused to let him be on this family picture (yeah it's not painting in their world, rather magic photo, only palace magicians and witches can make them)
tbh morty is just a disgrace to his family (except ursula, she loves him, he kinda resembles her mentally and she lovehates it a bit, because she understands how easily he might be traumatized, because she faced so much pain and it changed her A LOT) and he's absent on every picture or painting, he's not really even there on different family meetings. he doesn't mind, mostly he's grateful to his father hating, disrespecting and being ashamed of mortimer so much he refuses to take him on his fancy royalty meetings and parties, because now morty has so much time for studying physics, magic and potion making.
tbh, that kinda saved him from getting caught when caden asked his father to let "talented and outstanding mage" from academy caden was studying magic in, be their palace mage. that title means a lot, so since hazel was already thinking about retiring and handing the crown to his son - arthur - he agreed to let new blood in. like, it's a part of a change - to change old for a new one, and most of the palace ministers were already too old to be able to help new king rule his country. some of them stayed, ofc, to guide king still, but gently.
morty always wanted to break that circle of evil in his family, that curse in his dynasty. so finally he had a chance to change something.
