After your brother abdicated and exiled to a locked manor in the northwest of Luathbas, the one year regency of the Marshal, few officers and the Archpriest brought some measure of stability into Luathbas. There was a famine last autumn, and many a peasant died from it, and the Army suffered some losses from malnutrition and disease also. However, the people managed to endure in somewhat high spirits. The Treasury, first time in a long while, announced substantial profits filling up its coffers.
From more external news, Khanate went to war with the Damdamian Republic, and your regents wisely opted to stay away from both sides of the conflict. Many people avoid west and southwest lands, and those who travel back and forth report big battles, horrendous massacres and terrible sieges gobbling up thousands lives every week in both Khanate and the Republic. Duchy of Koi has been also showing some sort of discontent with the Khanate, picking up possibly best time to do so.
Your aunt, Sela the Exiled Queen, as your people call her, have successfully bound Ruz, Dahnia and Tven in a personal union thanks to array of marriages. Whilst Tven is currently your formal vassal, Duke of Tven's new wife, one of Sela's granddaughters, will surely spin him right into arms of your relative.
Conflict in Parsia have died down, albeit both sides remain. The Kashite Kingdom, after their leader, Prince Kash, maintains a hard grip on the more wealthy but less populated mountainous regions, while the Kingdom of Parsia, with the trade hubs nad large cities in its center and south, is currently spinning right between Luathbas and Gubta, avoiding to incite either's wrath.
Speaking of Gubta, your regents have managed to, under your constant pleading, call off the marriage to Gubta princess. This was actually welcomed by the clergy side of the Regency, who believe that Luathbas Queen should be from amongst Luathbas people and from amongst Pantheon worshippers. The Gubta Emperor reacted by increasing taxes for Luathbas merchants, so the trade of exotic goods will bring less profits for next few years.
During the coronation ceremony, which is attended by delegates from Koi, Tven, Dahnia and Gubta, the Regency formally relinquishes its rule over Luathbas and your are crowned King by the Archpriest himself.
Everyone awaits the moment in which you choose your regnal name. After brief consideration, you decide to go with
Feodh. Long live Feodh!
Next day after the feast, delegates from all four nations pour into your throne room, each wanting an audience! The guards break up their squabbling and you're left to decide...
A) Let's talk with the emissary of our vassal (Tven)
B) Have a chat with the westerners' diplomat (Koi)
C) Grant audience to our mercantile ally's envoy (Gubta)
D) Speak to the messenger from your dear aunt (Dahnia)
