A when it fails we then have a better PR position to kick their asses

[NUKE9.13]

Ugh. Did someone translate the holy texts? This is what happens when people can read the holy texts without a priest telling them what they mean.
B sounds like the best option, except that we have already used up the people's patience with these heretics. If we do nothing now, the people will be upset, and might take matters into their own hands.
A is unlikely to work, and if it doesn't work we end up in the same place as B, with people mad that we haven't solved the issue.
D risks inspiring civil war, and besides, it sets a dangerous precedent of the army interfering in religious matters. Let's keep the army secular.
Hence,

You send a letter to the northern governors to put a bounty on apprehension, or if not possible, killing of these youths.

888 AD, Midwinter

One and half month later this little 'uprising' of sorts is squashed after having grown to ninety people; a much larger of more zealous Pantheonists, interested in the bounty, set up an ambush in a forest and all ninety Singularists were killed

Also, a report from the gold mines has arrived; despite the site being in a slight chaos, the supply of gold to the Treasury remained steady this year, and there was no deficit. The manager believes that tin and iron smelting should begin no later than by the end of the next year.

888 AD, Late Winter

You daughter Aife had a terrible first bleeding, one that worried your healers for a while. After a thorough rest, however, and some medicinal herbs to help strengthen her womb and blood, she got better.

You do tell the healers to keep an eye on her occassionaly.

888 AD, End of the Year

Guess what kinda time it is?

Happiness: 6
Population: 5
Economy: 5
Army: 7

Time to rejoice apparently.

889 AD, Summer

A young Damdamian by name Lancus is now a guest of the royal dungeon.

It all happened in very late Spring when Aife begun to sneak out of the castle using the sewers. At first the maids let her get away with it (every youth needs some adventure after all) but one night, the Palatial Priest himself caught her in one of rooms with this Lancus in rather compromising position.

Aife is currently locked in her tower while the court is murmuring and spreading rumors rapidly about the young Luathbasian Princess having fun around with foreign vagabonds. You decide to...

A) Let this matter go its own course, but keep the Damdamian youth in the dungeon for the time being.
B) Drill Aife and Lancus for questions, the latter with force if need be.
C) Have Lancus castrated and Aife locked in a temple for five years for ruining her (and yours) reputation.

See if we can't play this for our own advantage. Find out who this Lancus is and what he wants with our daughter, but be nice to him; he'll be more likely to spill something honest if he's not tortured. The necklace should help.

I'd like to know more before we decide what to do. The innocent have nothing to fear; torture will be unnecessary if the youth is cooperative.
(Also, I guess we should look for a husband for Aife)

This.

A, don't want to be giving our monarch license to torture people.

You have the dungeon guards question the Damdamian while you drill Aife for questions.

You can't help but mangle her up a bit with thirty minutes of talk on responsibility and reputation and matters of politics.

"And where did you even meet him?"

"Uh, outside the palace, in the capital city, when I was visiting some busier parts of the bazaar, in disguise..."

"And?"

"Well I got tired and sat on a bench and he approached me and then we talked and he told stories he is traveling various distant lands... then we agreed to meet again."

"And?"

"And then we met and he said he fell in love with me at first sight... I offered to meet him in the undeground... and he was very impulsive, and promised me everything..."

"And? Do you want to say he was all riled up and assaulted you in a fit of passion?" Aife's face became a beet root at this point.

"It wasn't an assault..."

"So he whispered some cute things and you fell for that."

Beet root is now red lantern. But before you can do anything, the captain of the guard knocks on the door and enters the study to announce something, per usual happenings of fiction drama:

"My Queen, important piece of information has been obtained from the captive! Lancus is his street name, in reality he just admitted to be Radius Culnamus, son of Fardus Culnamus, the current governor of Lametania!"

Not only Aife had sex with a random boy, she had sex with son of the Governor of the land that was and is Luathbas one of worst enemies.

The study chamber produced a lovely echo of your palms hitting your face. You have to decide what to do with those two now.

As for Aife...

A) Have her sent into temple service for life.
B) Lock her in the tower for few months.
C) Do nothing, clearly she is just a horny young girl.

As for the son of Lametanian Governor...

A) Have him imprisoned for ten years for seizing one of most valuable flowers of Luathbas.
B) Send a letter to his father, ransoming Radius for a hefty price and some concessions.
C) Send a letter to his father demanding a formal apology for his son's behavior.
D) Have him escorted under guard south and threaten to castrate him if he ever winds up on your side of the border again.

Nobles can't catch us for being hypocrites now if they root into our history. And also she's just a Houlandine, this stuff runs in her blood

As for lover boy....
C
Imprisonment and kidnapping will definitely give the Lametanians reason to fight. Threatening his kid might not be the best way to go either. The letter seems to be the best way to go.
