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.

Is our pregnancy common knowledge? If not, is it visibly apparent yet? If the answer to both of these is no, just the fact he knew we are with child is impressive.

Anyway, B.

[Chevaleresse]

I mean, I'm sure people noticed the frequent uh, activities we participated in while the husband was around.

You decide to hear what he has to say about your upcoming child (a boy, apparently).

Roc mumbles some words and looks toward the windows, then mumbles some more, then walks around the throne room before sharply turning to you.

"He will be a boy, Lady Empress. He will become a skilled warrior and renowned general, and he will leave behind many children, and he will have a long life." He speaks with confidence and conviction.

Some of your courtiers murmur, few even snicker; it's expected of any King to become a great warrior and have many children, after all.

You decide to...

A) Invite Roc to become the court seer.
B) Dungeon the charlatan.
C) Dismiss the babbling lunatic.

C

a few predictions = cool
Relying on predictions = dangerous

Can we dismiss him without calling him a babbling lunatic? Just " ok. Thank you for your warnings. We will consider them carefully"

C Even if he is a bit odd, we may as well be nice about it.

C  Just don't start any wars for a bit and let the army recover.

I think I'll put my money on twin girls!

Thanks for the warning, but if you don't have any specific course of action to recommend, we'll just keep relying on our network of highly trained monster spotters and Fireblood engines.

You thank for his prophecies and wish him safe travels.

He leaves without a word.

1178 AD, Mid-Spring

An emissary from Gubta has arrived; a fat man in gaudily colored clothes.

"Greetings to you, Empress of Methiant. My master, Emperor Rakaji III, blessed be his name, has heard that your bontiful land has lots of coin to offer. Therefore he has sent me to inquire whether you and your court would be interested in exotic spices of many tastes and many colors. Emperor Rakaji III, blessed be his name, hopes that this trade agreement could bring our nations together, because the previous dynasty, scoundrels and tyrants they were, maintained close and beneficial relations with a Kingdom that was called Luathbas."

A) "I'm not interested in spices, but I'm sure your Emperor has other exotic things to offer?"
B) "Sweet, sour and hot spices! Something I was craving for weeks now. Let's trade!"
C) "Roots and powders, no matter how aromatic and luxurious, are not needed in Methiant."

The happiness will likely pay for itself!
