You hire some adventurers. Their black-bearded axe-warrior promises that they will do the job.

They do it! After they managed to lure it into a trap, poisoned arrows and knives and lots of bashing killed the beast. The court applauds the wandering heroes and a hefty amount of gold is given to them. News course quickly and the mood amongst the populace goes up.

844 AD, Autumn

Your young wife gives birth to a boy! She names him 'Arran', and he will replace you as Houlandin IV when you die, unless he decides on some other regnal name.

One day later

Your wife is suffering from sickness of the womb and high fever, the healers say. They will use herbs and provide her with warmth and good food to help her.

Five days later

Your mother gently caresses your head as you hold the hand of your dead wife. She have perished from the complications of the child's birth, as many women do. The palace staff, under guidance of your grandmother Ciri, is already searching for a maiden that can breastfeed the boy in lieu of his mother.

844 AD, Mid-Autumn

The advisor meets with you in your bedroom.

"Sire, I know that you mourn the passing of your wife, yet I am afraid that one boy isn't much to ensure the continuation of your line. Therefore, I must ask bluntly - will you search for another wife to soothe your subjects worries?"

A) "No. Get out."
B) "Find me another if you want, I don't care."
C) "Later... after I can move on."

You reassure the advisor that you will fine one some other day.

Reports come from the trade advisor that trade with Parsia didn't bear much revenues this year.

844 AD, Midwinter

A letter comes from governor of Augas. He writes that lately there have been slight drop in the numbers of caravans passing through the province and after some looking around for past year he have found out that Parsians are apparently putting higher taxes on foreign merchants that pass through his lands, plus there are some extra taxes on few rare goods (gemstones, steel) that arrive in Parsia via Augas. He wanted to write a letter to the Parsian King, but then decided to turn to you.

A) Advise the governor to sit tight and try not to forment trouble with Parsians.
B) Write a letter to Ahab Hahalol demanding his presence and explanations for this.
C) Write a polite and flattering letter to Parsian King in which you ask him about the issue.
D) Write a blunt letter to Parsian King in which you demand him to stop undermining the wealth of Augas.

It's not as if our own kingdom hasn't raised extra taxes when faced with a tight budget before.

EDIT: if it appears that D might win, I'll change my vote to C

He's the same King, everyone. The King which was insightful and also tactically awesome in fighting off a poisoning attempt on his life. We just need info on 'yo, sup' with the trade goods brother King?'

C!
