Week 17 Continued: The DanceBrilliant reasoning. Really.
Awwwwww yeeaaaah.
...also our father is going to LOVE every single aspect of this.
Either she's a
lot better at this than we are or this isn't her first time seducing a young queen.
YOU HAD
ONE JOB! ONE!
So is "mingle" or "chat" the euphemism for "ask what the fuck that was all about?"
I think we already know the word for poison.
Pretty sure that's the blonde dandy we conquered Ixmilar for.
Wait, Earl of whatnow?
Well he doesn't seem to have gotten married...
Oh! Serenitatis must be the somewhat ironically-named section we conquered for him.
That's noblespeak for "She threw away the lives of many our kingdom's soldiers to get me some more power and land."
Anyone calls us on that without mentioning murderous slatterns and I'll make him a Duke.
This might be more helpful if I could keep track of the nobles we
do see, but it should be informative nonetheless.
At first I really had to wonder if 14 1/2 years was really an eternity to wait for the throne.
Then I realized she probably has a regent until she's old enough, somewhat like us.
Might be worth noting that their sports fiend is the
youngest daughter, and thus not likely to need to do Duchessy things.
Damn. We should have enraged her parents further by ordering her to come.
Well now we know who we
really want to dance with.
After the fiasco with the snake, her mother wanted to make sure collateral wasn't an issue unless things went Full Wizard on everything within a hundred miles.
We should publicly embarrass and enrage them by asking loud, inappropriate questions about their children's absence.
This makes me SO nervous.
But we do manage to get through the ball without being magic missiled.
Of note this weekend: Visiting the Barracks gives +1 Pressured and nothing else. This holds the pattern for Barracks being tied to your highest emotion on the lowest half, since at the moment we don't have any.
Attend Service, on the other hand, still gives -1 Angry, despite Pressured being higher. Evidently it works differently than I had assumed.
