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.

You decide to restrict the spices to the high, and rich, class of Methiantese - the noblemen of your court.

The same evening, an exhausted messenger has arrived, bringing the worst of news; King Cyl of Cydwyl is deadly ill!

What has begun as a fever after staying outside during a rain developed in illness of lungs, weakness of joints and now, your husband lies bedridden in the Cydwyllian royal palace. Cydwyllian healers are working around him every hour while his court is patiently awaiting his full recovery, of course.

As for Cyl's illness...

A) Send him a letter of support.
B) Send him the healing gemstone.
C) Pack up and visit him at his palace.
D) Pack up, your children too, and visit him at his palace.

That reminds you of one thing, that you should...

A) Announce that Prince Doge is the heir to the throne of Methiantese Empire.
B) Always wear warm clothing when the weather's bad.

Yeah, let's bring that gemstone to really test it out.

This is the heir those patriarchalist pigs northern noblemen were waiting for, best spread the news before someone gets funny ideas.

Addendum: But don't for a minute think that means Mom isn't bundling up her kids in those cold autumn rains.

I'm looking at you, Rinilda. The babies are still babies, you're old enough to show responsibility if you want to marry well and outfight your devil-possessed husband to become ruler of a mighty nation. So button that jacket, missy.

We can travel faster if it is just us and the winged horse, and we shouldn't bring the kids unless what he has is contagious.

D,A

honestly, now that we have the kids we need, him dying is the most convenient thing. He is a little too charismatic for my likeings.

Cydwyllian inheritance law and Cyl's court will v:


You pack the clothes, the documents, the entourage and the kids, and haul yo bodice to Cyl's side at once.

A week later, the Cydwyllian capital welcomes you. The court nobles lead you to Cyl's bed in his quarters.

He looks weak, and the healers say that while his condition is stable, and you mention to them that you have a healing stone with you that could help. The medics look at the supposedly magical item with doubt but place it by his headrest.

Cyl smiles and touches Prince Doge's cheek, and then he sighs and closes his eyes. The healers rush to his side while you, numb and terrified, are politely rushed out of the bedroom.

A while later you learn that Cyl has fallen asleep. He did you a spook! Something to berate him for when he leaves the bed.

Next morning the diplomat that is attached to Cydwyl bring you news that the Cydwyllian court has gathered and is discussing possibilities of regency, election of new King, or some other option just in case Cyl would die.

A) They're discussing future of Cydwyl without me!? Intolerable! Time to go and tell them what I think!
B) Let's send our diplomat and politely negotiate concessions just in case someone oppose Methiantese rule.
C) It's internal matter of Cydwyllian court and I'm sure they will reach a reasonable consensus.
D) Let's send our diplomat and threaten use of force if someone tries anything funny!
E) Let's send our diplomat, but only as an observer and to make sure they're aware of our presence.

Our own presence might seem intrusive, but we need to represent and argue for our interests here.
