[Maegil]

HA! She doesn't just want to sex the Eldar, she wants him to go all out on the arts...

D!

[IamanElfCollaborator]

D
is houlandin iii literally cecil

[Haspen]

You drop to your knee(s) and then do a speech laden with words that you heard in Stjolf's ballads, swearing on the moon and stars and all things mystical.

She looks down at you with contempt.

"Another jester that says honey-glazed words but wants to just use me like an item to strengthen his position. Did we not hear the same from the previous three, Hekar?"

"We did, Princess." The man agrees as Stjolf facepalms. "But please consider..." She waves at her attendant.

"Yes, I heard you." She looks at you again. "So do you really love a strange girl you never met thanks to 'love on first sight' phenomena or do you have some ulterior motive, Houlandin?"

A) Explain that yes, a Queen and a heir is what you and Luathbas need, but you wish to provide safe haven for her as well out of the goodwill of your heart.
B) Serenade her again, this time less dramatically and more truthfully.

[Swordstar]

A

[Maegil]

A, with a good dose of visible relief for her not being a scatterbrain - better yet, actually say that, and that it bides well for the future of the kingdom, should she accept the proposal.

[Taricus]

A. Hey, one that can cut through all the bullshit. Though we really got to stop picking up the cloaked princesses

[Swordstar]

Though we really got to stop picking up the cloaked princesses

But why?

[Taricus]

It'll become a habit that's why

[Haspen]

You explain your motives and admit that she is right but that you also do this out of your own goodwill.

She hops off the horse and then you can see that she is actually almost a head shorter than you.

"I accept then, Houlandin of Luathbas. I am Serinda and I will be your wife."


"EXCUSE ME!?" Your elven mother looks at both you and Princess Serinda (sans Stjolf, who coincidentally disappeared just before you turned corner towards your mother's chambers) explain yourself in her bedroom.

"I will be his wife and he will be my husband." Serinda wraps herself around your arm. "And I heard he is only two years older than me, so it's a perfect match!" You don't get even a moment to do the math.

"Ethelwulf!" Aolineniya stands up from the chair and approaches you. "This is simply ridiculous. Not only she brings nothing to strengthen our country that is already so weak, but she is - from what I understand - on the run from the Kiwis? Your grandfather got murdered by them and there is ton of migrants from Kiwi Empire already. Call for the guards to find her atendants and have this girl escorted to the eastern border - you need a better wife than her!"

A) Deny your mother as you're King of Luathbas and it is you who ultimately decides whom you gonna marry!
B) Agree with her, apologize to the Princess and have her sent away with escort.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

A
Uh, hello, mooooom? That's how you and dad met!

[Taricus]

A. Also remind her of the irony about how she married our father.

[Maegil]

A

Since we're at it, remind her that she was also a princess on the run when our father decided to marry her - and against our grandmother's wishes, if we heard the story right.

[crazyabe]

A.

[Haspen]

You give Serinda a reassuring hug and then proclaim to your mother that if she is against a King marrying a runaway princess for no gain then she should apologize to your father. Your elven mother glares at you but restrains herself from commenting (or worse).

In few days time, Serinda becomes your wife after a small ceremony, but the news travel quickly and lots of noblemen and peasants alike celebrate.

843 AD, Autumn

Bad news arrive from around the Kingdom as the harvests were particularily terrible this year.

"We could strain our Treasury a little bit to procure foodstuffs from abroad before winter strikes, my liege." The advisor recommends, rubbing his chin. "Or, well, we could always order peasants and noblemen to do a little bit of fasting this year..."

A) Buy the foodstuffs, starvation is unfun.
B) Fasting populace means intact Treasury!

[Taricus]

A Being a generous person is also tradition!
