We can't pick both?

The advisor notes your obvious answer.

846 AD, Spring

All signs suggest that your wife did not get pregnant. Which, as your grandmother Ciri points out, makes you the first Houlandin not to get a child on the first possible moment.

You're not sure if you're supposed to feel special.

846 AD, Mid-Spring

Potentially disasterous news arrive from the east!

The Parsian King has been assasinated shortly after the coming of the new year, and his six sons are now fighting against each other for the Parsian throne.

Governor of Augas reports that he already did with the precautionary measures, like doubling of garrison numbers in eastern forts and more frequent road patrols.

846 AD, Late Spring

The western parts of your Kingdom suffer again, but this time it is much worse; plague reared its ugly head and your subjects are dying after days of fevers and vomiting. Some develop the worst and most obvious symptom: swollen bubbles of pus-like substance under their skin.

Peasants or nobles, governors or priests, all are susceptible and many contact the disease. The terrified court convenes in council with you. After the debate, it is agreed that best course of action would be to...

A) Send medicines and healers from around Luathbas westwards to try to contain the dreaded epidemic.
B) Deliver lavish monetary and livestock sacrifices to the gods of life and death and all others that could help with the plague.
C) Wait. Wait and hope of the best.

[Elephant Parade]

A. We've had no hints of gods existing, IIRC, so B might not be the best option.

[Maegil]

A - In fact, I'd suggest spending even more and post messages in public boards abroad inviting healers and mages capable of helping.

The priests have failed our family before, so it's up to us to do the best possible for the sake of our people.

Also, explain to Our dear grandmother that while We did consummate the marriage, We love Our wife enough not to insist on her bearing children at her rather young age. We already have an heir and another will surely be coming in a year or two, but We're in no hurry and she's to make sure the court won't try to shame or pressure Raellia behind Our back.

[Haspen]

You order healers and medicine to be hauled westwards.

2*

This does naught to fix the situation; in fact, many healers themselves contact the disease and the medicine bought by the Treasury didnt even lessen the symptoms in many of the cases.

846 AD, Summer

The plague continues to ravage the west of Luathbas and first cases were also reported in the north. Thousands have died, as far as numerous reports indicate.

There are roaming groups of bandits in the northeast! Apparently they're all operating under the self-imposed rule of Orach the Mighty, King of all Bandits. As for the bandits...

A) Send the Army to destroy the bandit horde and punish Orach.
B) Do nothing.

As for the plague...

A) Send more healers and medicine, even tapping into Augas tax revenues that were to be sent by the year's end.
B) Sacrifice to the gods, now that the more 'medical' approach has failed.
C) Do nothing and wait it out.

//Remember, partial votes will be ignored.

What about that talk to our grandmother? We should protect our queen from disrepute at the court.

She was rather pointing out that H3 didn't get her pregnant because every other Houlandine so far got their wives pregnant on 'first try'... the dirty old lady was poking fun at Houlandin III's bedskills, basically, not calling his new wife barren and useless v;
