How do you know that there won't be real historical events, places, and people in this story? Yes, Cordonia is fictional, but it has (fictional) ties to England and England's royalty. It is a fictional European country and may well deal with events of the European Renaissance. Based off something said in Desire & Decorum it is possible we may have dealings or at least mentions of Queen Elizabeth I, who according to that story had dealings with the Queen of Cordonia. Based off what is said, that would be prior to this story, which also means that the two countries were already in contact at the time of this story.

Personally, I'm thrilled that it's Cordonia and I understand why some people aren't. For me, this is the closest I am going to get to another The Crown & The Flame story and it's their future I am most interested in here. What happened after that series that made Cordonia into the country it is in Rules of Engagement and The Royal Romance/Heir series?

Since Cordonia is supposed to be on our earth and interact with real places and real people from them, I see no reason why this shouldn't be historical fiction or at the very least alternate history.
