Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

B, but keep the guards about and ensure the family is ready to flee at a moment's notice.  We might need to burninate some peasants.

[Haspen]

You decide to meet with the peasants and address them.

It's, of course, about how Methiant has lately become a pot of trouble under your 'auspicious' rule, and nothing more. You decide to talk to them.

A thrown rock gives you a cut on the forehead and as the guards pull you away, one of the officers orders swords drawn. A minor skirmish occurs and there is about twenty casualties, including two guards, before the rest of the mob flees. Your wound is superficial, and one of the courtiers quickly lessens the cut with some medicinal liquid.

The courtiers in charge of the procession quickly meet with you.

"This unfortunate yet bloody accident will surely become common knowledge soon. Shall we put some extraordinary measures to prevent your Highness be harmed again?"

A) "Of course! Send armed soldiers to villages on the way to the border!"
B) "That will be not necessary, but I sure won't meet with any peasant 'delegations' again!"
C) "Don't you see how I look? Our reputation would be ruined if we show up in Eldrican like this. We're going back to the palace!"

Fortunately, no one else bothers you and through the Koi you arrive in Eldrican six days later.

1130 AD, Late Summer

You offer your prayers to the grandiose tomb of Elran III. It is obvious that Daric III was generous to the masons and artisans, as the marble-and-silver sarcophagus laying in a small 'chamber' of tall columns is truly breath-taking.

After that, Daric III shows his generosity as a host and launches a great feast for you, your family and your courtiers.

Very quickly you notice that your son Ustwelf seems to have 'glued' himself to a certain blonde maiden on Daric's side of the table, who seems to be around Ustwelf's age. A quick inquiry with one of Daric's advisors and you learn her identity - it is Deanna, Daric's niece. Her family got into a mess with some unscrupulous shady characters, and that resulted in a blaze that consumed her family house and all her relatives few years ago; since then she was living in the royal palace. She herself is fifteen and is known to have a polite character and aptitude for poetry.

Once the festivities go into their fourth hour, you decide to speak with Daric III on politics, and he is eager to contribute.

"My eastern friend," he begins, "I'm afraid to say that my merchants and my Treasurer aren't quite happy with the money they're making from this trade deal of ketton cloth we send to your Kingdom. I'm afraid that I will have to cancel this agreement."

You decide to...

A) Nod in agreement.
B) Try to negotiate better prices for Eldrican merchants.
C) Mention that King Shapur of Kashites in the east have shown interest in this cloth a while ago.

Generosity is it's own gift.

C, the ketton cloth doesn't do much good to us for the most part either, so maybe we can start off on the right foot with this new king by giving him a hot trade tip.
