You lead your men against another camp! Archers and some spearmen are there, and your men engage them in melee.

After a while, its obvious that you're, unfortunately, losing. As it stands-
*swish-THOK*
*THUD!*
Your men, seeing you on the ground with an arrow protruding from your left eye socket, quickly panic; some retreat, most surrender. Their King is dead - what else could they do?
831 AD, Late Summer
You are
Lech, son of Houlandin, and, by the decision of the court and Queen Mother Ciri, the new
King of Luathbas! There was of course some protest from Queen Aolineniya, but her child is too young to rule a nation that is in such deep trouble. To further cement your rule, you abandon the Houlandin name and use yours as the new naming convention.
Much like your father,
wisdom is your strongest point, and you always excelled in fields of history and traditions.
831 AD, Autumn
Fortunately, Queen Alexandra, after the bloody siege of Felonsein that thinned her numbers, and perhaps due to your elder brother's reckless attack, decided to ask for peace.
You are now at House of Lech, with her emissary, Count Dakpaklaktak, who offers you the same terms that were presented to your older brother. Unfortunately, with the fall of Felonsein, and the current state of Luathbas's forces, you have to agree on ceding Southern Territories to Lametania by default.
There remain however the two other conditions. The more you agree to, the easier it will be to maintain the peace in the future...
A) Agree to marry a female member of Queen Alexandra's family, and allow followers of Damed freedom of worship and equal religious laws.
B) Agree to marry a female member of Queen Alexandra's family, but foreign cults shall have no place in Luathbas!
C) Reject the marriage proposal, but allow the Cult of Damed its rights and freedom on par with Luathbas' current pantheon.
D) Reject both, and persuade the Duke to back your stance after his return to Queen Alexandra.
