[Maegil]

A

Here's to keeping in with our family's tradition of weird marriages... Still, let's talk to her before making any final decisions.

[Taricus]

A, though agreeing that we appraise her before committing.

[Haspen]

He tips his feathered hat and bows.

"Why, I haven't heard the last part of the tale, but all good omens seem to indicate that this could be the truth! I will ask my friend about that."

843 AD, Midsummer

After a performance during a feast, Stjolf approaches you and tips his hat.

"My liege! I have learned the continuation of the tale I told you about few weeks ago. It seems that one starry night under the crescent moon, shortly after Midsummer passes the calendar, the young princess on the run shall meet with a young yet powerful man in a forested glade near the palace of the King of Luathbas, far from whispering ears and hostile hands of her Kiwi uncle. Sounds romantic, doesn't it?"

A) "Indeed, I would gladly be in that man's place if that was ever possible."
B) "Indeed, pity that I do not have time for such secretive, dangerous adventures."

[Maegil]

The Kiwis?... We're supposed to be marrying to strengthen the country, not to get into more trouble!
On the other hand, we could end up with a dual monarchy, or at least legitimacy over some territories... Ah well, let's get on with this declaration of war love.

A) "Indeed, I would gladly be in that man's place if that was ever possible."

[Swordstar]

A!

[IamanElfCollaborator]

A, bring bodyguards.

[Swordstar]

No bodyguards! We are good at fighting and can't ruin the romantic moment like that!

[Maegil]

No bodyguards! We are good at fighting and can't ruin the romantic moment like that!

[Haspen]

Stjolf nods.

"Indeed. Mayhaps it will be that way, who knows?"

A week later, you are waiting with Stjolf and two bodyguards in a small forest. The dark silhouette of your Palace stands in the west, and the crescent moon shines on this particularily clear night.

Then you hear clapping of some horseshoes upon the ground.

Four men in dark cloaks, armed with (sheathed) longswords appear from the underbrush. One of them is leading a horse, upon which sits a lovely, albeit quite young, girl with bright skin and black hair tied in ponytails. You catch a glimpse of chainmail under her thick fur cloak.

One of the other men approaches Stjolf and they exchange pleasantries during a handshake.

"Who is this man? How would I know he is not my uncle's lapdog?" The girl asks suddenly, but Stjolf steps forward.

"Nay! He is not a hostile! His heart was moved by your Highness' flight, and therefore he asked me to arrange a meeting." The bard turns to you.

"But it would be a pleasantry to introduce yourself..." Stjolf pauses to pick proper words. "...mister."

A) Tell the truth.
B) For now use a name, maybe 'Houlyn' or something like that.
C) Say nothing.

[Taricus]

A

[crazyabe]

A.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

A, we will tell no lies in our own land.

[Maegil]

A. There's no point in lying, and it would be a bad start.

[Haspen]

You identify yourself with your formal and regnal names. The girl's men murmur a little between themselves as the girl looks down at you.

"My princess, please note that we are scant on supplies and we already sold most of your family trinkets..."

She keeps looking down at you.

"He is a honorable and brave man, miss." Stjolf bows deeply. "Truly one straight out of heroic tale."

She keeps staring at you.

"Princess, is he not... adequate?" Stjolf's friend asks his princess, and she shakes her head.

"It's not that... I'm just waiting to see if he says that he loves me."

A) Explain that you need a Queen for the good of your country, and also for your courtiers to stop nagging.
B) Say that you need a wife to provide you heirs, or just one heir if she does not like you that much.
C) Tell her that you just want to provide her with safe haven, and all the rest is just a bonus for you.
D) Profoundly express your love in a dramatic way to impress her.

[Taricus]

...These kiwis are a strange bunch.

Still,D because this si going to be hilarious
