you start with an overly exaggerated high-five that morphs into a handshake, then when you swing your torso back around at the start of a handshake after twisting it with the super high-five you fist-bump his other hand with your other hand.
The Gaurd is mightily confused and looks at Samuel the messenger with a puzzled face. Gaurds behind him snicker in disbelief at you and the captain of the gate. The captain just steps aside and lets you in looking at you more objectively before. "Open the Gates!" he shouts and the cranks gear into motion letting the huge doors of the castle swing on open. No is to tell the new regent what she can or can't do...but being respected by more serious people or even nobles in general is going to be an even more uphill challenge.
Samuel and the escort walk inside with you and he points you to the double doors inside a castle. "That castle yonder will be were you eat, sleep, and work for the few years until our princess is old enough to take control. Servants will do what they can to make you comfortable, just watch out for the cook. I hear giving him critique on his food is one way to have something foul in your throat. I'm sure you be smart enough to handle it though."
------
You are saluted by a Guard giving his name as Gerald, announces himself and bows.
"
Madam, the servants will be getting your luggage and room prepared right now I've been ordered to show you to the Court floor. Haste makes waste but we must be up there quickly." Before you can even offer protest he turns away and up more stairs motioning you to follow him and as a gentleman offers his hand. Which you take while being dragged another 2 flights of stairs or so before being led through a hallway and into what you think is the Court floor.
4 man stand in front of a desk talking about policy before they notice you.
"Ma'am these are your ministers".
One man in a blueish red uniform military uniform calls himself Bellhook. "
I Manage the affairs of the Military as Grand Marshall and advice you on matters of National security."
Another steps forward, this man fat with a goatee and balding head calls himself Jacob "
I am the master of the crowns coin. I'm in charge of collecting taxes and giving you reports on the well being of the economy, Regent."
Following him is a older gentleman who looks ready to fall over,
"I am Brunos, External affairs minister and i deal with those uncivilized brutes causing all kinds of trouble. Just now they-"He is interrupted by a chubby lady with pale skin "
Introductions first minister, Even though you've been here for years it doesn't mean you can stop someone from introducing themselves to a central figure like the Regent. I am Delia, Minister of the Interior. I manage the Police and Anti-corruption task forces tracking criminals and fraud wherever possible. I think everyone has a piece to say but i think i'll let the old man give you the summary."
Frustrated but not at the breaking point of losing his professionalism Brunos tells you about the latest issue.
"The Federation and Imperium are rumored to be using forced conscription in the old Annotan Confederacy. It's causing an even larger amount of immigrants asking for entry into the country. While normally the late prince would have left them in...we just don't have the space as we once did. Most immigrants run out of food within days of entering the country and begin joining gangs or stealing for food.
What's more is the Federation is asking for even more Ragnite to help fuel the war effort against the imperium, again. Our own Military is also in need and it would be unwise to support an enemy as snake eye as them..even though those Imperials are just bloody merciless. I hear there Blood Legion soldiers are training boy soldiers now to be suicide bombers.
What's worse is that whoever wins will most likely dominate the region..and will ask for even more at less price."
The Marshall speaks up "
Currently, no is able to confirm any of the stories the refuges say to beg for food but we felt it necessary to speak with you about it. Actinon or no action Regent it's up to you."[/i]
First decision and i can't wait until you guys come up with one. As you can see the hand holding has stopped and this game is going to play out a lot more like Hidden agenda...although there is more to show. Just not now. Now you figure out what to do if anything. There's also the bandits roaming in the country side that you all wanted to know about.
