The Uncertain Vectors of King Wenceslao II
Hello. I am King Wenceslao II the Kid of House Iturbide, King of Mexico and Zapoteca, Duke of Mexico, Count of Mexico, Count of Morelos, Count of Tlaxcala, Count of Xalapa, and Claimant to the County of Cuauhtemoc. I have reigned under regency for the past thirteen years, but today, I gain control of the Kingdom for myself.
This is my wife. In accordance with Iturbide tradition, she is a lowborn woman.
Due to her status, it was required for me to have to spend a large portion of money in order to keep my prestige at a good level of quality. I still lost one hundred units.
I was taught to be a skilled tactician and to dedicate myself to the cult of death. Unlike my father, I have also made an effort to study the art of intrigue. While I am merely only of moderate skill, I have garnered a spymaster who carries a rating of 25 in the skill. His efforts in other countries have granted Mexico multiple counts of technology gained.
He's a good man. Managed to get another bit sent out in time for the wedding, at that.
War was heavy during the regency. Two civil wars and a full scale revolt occurred against my rule, and my regent decided to send the order out to conquer another county of Olmeca. The civil wars were some difficult times, and the execution of the orchestrators of both kinda made me viewed as a bit of a tyrant. It should die down after awhile, though. I hope.
My regent was initially my mother, whom was simultaneously the guardian of myself and my friend, my second regent.
Looking back, I think her methods were a bit...questionable.
I did manage to become friends with her other ward. The havoc we caused... We had a few good talks at the shooting range, at that. He's the only person outside of the Iturbide family to shoot the gun. Apparently that caused a bit of a fuss and I had to stop letting him use it, but still.
Speaking of the gun, that was a bit of a mess to see if I could get it. It was more likely to go to my mother or permanently remain with the church than me getting ahold of it. In fact, I heard my cousin might have gotten a chance to get ahold of it. I am thankful the small precinct my father set up managed to win out.
May want to move onto my family. Here's my sister. She never knew father. None of us really knew him, though. Give us a break, I am the oldest and I was three when he died.
I did learn the rites at my young age, though. I didn't really understand them at the time, but again, was three years old at the time.
As for my brother, he's the current ruler of the Merchant Republic of Veracruz. It was given to him a couple years ago, and he's been under regency for awhile, but he's managed to build three trade posts already. Sadly, due to strange laws I wasn't aware of at the time, this discounted him from being my heir, so the heir to the throne is my eldest sister.
In other news, a couple counties were converted to the faith.
However, one of the new pilgrims tried to shed doubt upon the apparition that had been seen by my grandfather. Lying scum, he really doubts the vision held by King Wenceslao the Holy!?
Heh.What was that?
Anyway, better end with a couple events from beyond our borders.
Up north in the Holy Columbian Confederacy, some preacher is making some major waves in their religious community. We haven't gotten word on what the Emperor decided, but it is potentially destabilizing the region.
Also up north, the Abbess-General of the faith in the Cascadia region has become prepared to start declaring her own Crusades. Wonder how much of this is due to the Pope having earlier declared his failed Crusade of Hudsonia...
And again from up north, some prick up in the are of Louisiana has made some strange claims of being the true ruler of Mexico. The argument is really weak and falls apart rapidly under close scrutiny, but he's managed to assemble a number of followers from the uneducated populace up in the region. Madness, I say.
That should about cover everything. Now to begin making my own destiny. I've got a Holy War running against the last bastion of Sol Invicta faith. I shall add it to the Mexican empire, and Mexico shall once more stretch from sea to sea!
Will Wenceslao II succeed in his goals? Or will he too find his fate at the edge of a blade? Find out in the next installment of the attempts to Make Mexico Great Again!
