[Haspen]

You tell him that the Kingdom rejects both demands, and ask him to persuade the Queen to drop those ideas too.

Out of respect for the fighting spirit of your father and your older brother, he says he will try to.

831 AD, Mid-Autumn

Duke Dakpaklaktak is back.

"My Queen has decided to be lenient with your nation and cease the hostilities if you are to marry her niece, Benelisse the Unwanted."

You think of the proposal. With such a nickname, you reckon that Benelisse is most probably ugly, stupid, sterile, or the combination of the three. However, you have a hunch that the Queen is probably giving you her 'unwanted' niece just so you reject her, giving the Queen a reason to continue her hostilities against your crippled and almost defenseless country.

Or maybe she is just mocking you.

A) Accept Benelisse as a wife to fuck up with Queen Alexandra's plans.
B) Reject this final proposal, knowing where it will ultimately lead.

[Ghazkull]

B)

[Taricus]

B, fuck the racist bitch!

[ZBridges]

A.  Play nice now, wait for the moment, then strike when the time is right.

+1 A.  The snake that strikes deadliest hides itself in most harmless grass.

The Unwanted might have meaning beyond what is suggested. We might gain a solid ally.

[Haspen]

You tell him that you happily accept Benelisse the Unwanted as your wife. He bows and leaves to inform Queen Alexandra of your decision.

831 AD, Winter

The marriage ceremony is a simple and a quick manner, especially as you have more important things on mind. The 'Unwanted' moniker suits Benelisse; she has a stutter, red splotches on her face and terrible skills with knitting and conversation. Her aunt, that's it, Queen Alexandra, did not attend due to 'pressing matters', but a rumor came from Benelisse's entourage that the Queen was actually furious about what you did.

831 AD, Late Winter

The trade advisor reports good news; the exchange with Gubtas brought extra wealth to the Kingdom's coffers.

831 AD, End of the Year

The advisor brings you the Scrolls of Kingdom Status. You dread the numbers on these scrolls, considering the huge casaulties of the campaign, loss of the populous Southern Territories, and the people's unhappiness from the defeat...

Happiness: 2
Population: 4
Economy: 5
Army: 3

These... you reckon these could be worse.

"My dear King," starts the Advisor, "As you can see the people are unhappy with the rule of Houlandin dynasty. Our army is also in shambles following your brother's failed campaign. However, the Treasury is growing rich thanks to the revenues from the East. Shall we spend some coin on bettering the lifes of the peasants?"

A) "Yes, lets throw some festivals to improve the people's mood."
B) "Yes, get me some festivals. Also, buy services of mercenaries as well! We have to replenish our army's numbers."
C) "No, it is the army that we need! Hire me some mercenaries at once!"
D) "No, we shall do naught about this."

[Taricus]

B, money exists to be spent.

Though I'm a little unhappy given that we took the offer, it is a nice big fat middle finger to Alexandra. And who knows, we might find ourselves inheriting Lametania.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

B.

If nothing else, our family will get a reputation for taking really unusual wives.

[Taricus]

Not the worst one, especially since there' always one pissed off female relative from them

[NRDL]

[Haspen]

You demand both festivals and mercenaries.

832 AD, Spring

Guards report that Parsian emissary, Ahab Hahalol ("Iron-worded"), have arrived at the gate-

*THUD*

Here comes an angry, bearded Parsian in green robe, red pants and yellow shoes.

"I am Ahab Hahalol, emissary of the King of Parsia! Our good King have found out that you're having trade dealings with our arch-enemies, the Gubtas! If you value the peace between Parsia and Luathbas, you will have to stop the exchange of goods with them. I have spoken, with authority of my King!" He crosses his arms and stares at you.

A) Refuse the demand.
B) Accept the demand but only if the Parsian King offers some profitable agreement in return.
C) Accept the demand to preserve the peace between Luathbas and its neighbour.

[Taricus]

B, we're only doing it for the money and the trade hasn't been that profitable. Besides, with our army needing to be rebuilt to deal with Lametania we can ill-afford a war with Parsia.
