You order the guards to toss the impertinent youth into the dungeon.

1to3

In a display of luck, combativeness or both, the youth manages to wound, disarm or otherwise disable eight of the guards present in the throne room!

He quickly re-points his rapier at you.

"Avast with ye, tyrant! Pass the crown to me willingly, and I shall let you live! Resist, and I shall gladly take it from your cold, dead hands!"

A) Duel it is!!
B) Surrender the Crown.

Should've gone with Surrender. At this point, even surrendering would probably see us exiled or worse, which negates the whole 'backup king' plan of mine somewhat. I guess we have no choice but to go with

A

Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, even in exile, we might still be able to get Feodh to the throne- it would probably be an option if a succession crisis hits. And there is no reason to risk killing one king(candidate) whilst wounding the other, causing both to die in the end.

"Duel it is!" You shout and brandish your dueling sword.

5*

After a moment, Dagan ends with his chest pierced through with your blade after he tumbles over a chair. Your half-brother dies, and with him, dies his claim for the throne of Luathbas!

875 AD, Winter

The courtiers spout bad rumors about your sister, Eirena, living in the south.

Apparently, the current rumor is that the pious and shy Eirena is apparently having affairs with some sort of Damdamian that is rumored to be in services of the Damdamian governor of Lametania! Who knows what sort of Luathbas secrets she could be revealing in the times of emotional excitement.

While an affair could be tolerated, possible breach of security cannot, but then again it could be just rumors sown by giggling noblewomen with too much free time on their hands. Nonetheless, something should be done about it, and you decide to...

A) Speak publicly that you believe your sister's is innocent as a woman of her character couldn't possibly betray Luathbas.
B) Ask Eirena, via a letter, about the rumors and about her affair and explain what kind of disaster it could bring upon the country.
C) Summon Eirena to the palace and demand that she explains herself before the court.

Also NUKE9.13's vote has been A when I hit 'Post' button, so I blame my connection for discrepancy v;

PS: And that's why you send a new Vote instead of modifying the old one; new posts show a warning, edits don't :V

Whoops. I'll be sure to spam the thread with vote changes in the future :/
Heh heh heh.

Anyway, let's go with B. No need to make a scene.

You summon Eirena to the palace, and she obeys the order.

As she enters, wearing plain simple robe of the Pantheon Cult, you understand that she recently took on some Initiate vows. Instead of being a governor or noblewoman with titles or claims, she will instead become a priestess of whichever God she is going to follow.

This makes the courtiers murmur even more. You raise your hand to cut the noise, and once the noise stops, you decide to...

A) Accuse Eirena of treason.
B) Demand an explanation with no half-truths and little lies.
C) Politely ask her about the affair with the Damdamian.

"Dear brother," Eirena speaks after you pose your question. "I have no affairs with any Damdamians. I have decided to don the robes and in my theological studies I decided to read some books on the Cult of Damed, and some with that knowledge sown twisted rumors, adding to the mix the fact that I personally met with some Damdamian dignitaries on some random occassions. You can clearly see that I - and our family - are the victims of this plot, not Luathbas."

A) Inquire about details from Eirena and the courtiers so you might learn the whole story.
B) Accept her explanation - rumors are rumors, let's not launch an inquisition based on them.

[NUKE9.13]

"I have no affairs with any Damdamians (...) I personally met with some Damdamian dignitaries"
