You call the Army to counterattack and go against the city!
1
The Army backstabs you and runs away!
But no honestly, they also back-stab you quite literally; one of more angry officers stabs you when you command him to turn around and attack Ankurvat!

He failed to miss your heart. As you collapse, you can only argue with your past self about the stupidity of your actions.
Maybe you weren't cut out to be a Grand Duke after all...?
958 AD, Winter
The Advisor of King Tinwulf II smacks the pedestal with an iron cane, silencing the gathering of more than fifty men (and few women) in fancy and expensive clothes.
"Welcome, Lords of Dahnia, on this council. King Tinwulf has called upon you to determine the successor to the Grand Duchy of Tven, per the electoral allowance when the King of Dahnia is unwilling or unable to truthfully decide by himself. The young heir of late Merachd is unsuited to take the throne even with regency of his mother, as he isn't even six years old. Therefore King Tinwulf has seen it suitable to find another set of candidates that could replace the ruling family of Merachd and govern the Duchy to the best of their abilities. The candidates, their genealogy, abilities and skills and famous deeds, matters of family and personality are therefore as follows." The advisor opens up a large scroll.
"The first candidate is Estwalf, son of Ceodwell IV the Short, third to the throne of Kingdom of Ceodwell. Patrilineal descent from King Ceodwell I, first King of Ceodwell Kingdom, son of King Feodh and Queen Elana, rulers of defunct Luathbas Kingdom. Estwalf is known for his
martial prowess, which he proven during the quelling of rebellion in the far north in year 954 AD. Of twenty one winters, unmarried and of no known issue." The advisor puts down the scroll and then opens up another.
"The second candidate is Lord Enach of Tven, cousin of King Tinwulf, by father's side. Patrilineal descent from Tinwulf the First, Enach is a
wise man learned in history, religious treatrises and matters of herbs, and is known for bouts of illness that govern his
sickly life. Of twenty winters, married to Lady Elana of Eist, no known issue."
lots of rolls
The Advisor then opens a scroll that bears a mark of the Oracle of the One.
"The royal diviners of King Tinwulf has therefore been requested to provide a set of Seven Electors from the entirety of the Council, who by the will of the gods and the King shall decide the next Grand Duke of Tven. Their names are as follows."
"Lord Bir of Dyean
(birdy51), Lord Imi of Tsyne
(Imic), Lady Soworda of Stare
(swordstar), Lord Heid of Duede
(heydude6), Lord Drai of Genann
(Draignean), Lord Upgaard of Pedn
(Puppyguard) and Lord Voith of Deslaienn
(VoidSlayer). May the choices of Seven Electors be wise and bring prosperity to Dahnia and all its subjects."
