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.

C I hope no bastards come after the throne, Also, enough parties for now.

You decide to pile the loot in the Treasury, you can always spend it later if needed.

1195 AD, Midsummer

Various bureaucratic work has been completed on Parsia; its population is quite big, and thus the numbers on the censuses went up a notch. Also, the gemstone mines on the opposite end of the Parsian mountains are now added to your economy!

Meanwhile, the male line of Cyl's descendants grow; Hein's wife Irvalina borne him another boy, whom she named Alfyn.

1195 AD, Late Summer

Shocking news arrive from Eldrican!

Sadly, the little boy King, Tetan IV, has died from high fever. The regency council, against wishes of some more western-oriented noblemen, have decided to invite Irvalina - or rather, her husband, Hein of Methiant - as the next ruler of Eldrican Kingdom!

They say in a letter that despite being female, Irvalina (and her kids) are the closest in line to the throne after all other claimants dropped dead during plague, and after Tetan IV expired. It seems that they're even dismissing several (distant) cousins n-times removed as potential new Kings of Eldrican, instead opting for someone with already big family...

To some of your courtiers it looks like a sign of desperation and weakness, to other, a solid proof of Yoean prestige and fame. Entirety of Methiantese court is gossiping about this, and Hein, on urging of his wife, is preparing to accept the invitation.

A) Hold it! Hein ain't going nowhere, because reasons!
B) Only if he swears loyalty to Methiantese crown!
C) An adult relative on Eldrican throne? Ka-ching!

B Maybe we won't need to invade Eldrican afterall.

This one-in-a-million combination of good luck/fun/whathaveyou happened only because I asked random.org for a number, and it gave me a 6. Just in case, I asked for another number, and it was a 6 again. I was like 'come on, RNG, really?' And rolled again. And it was a 6 again.

All this without a single time of Lucky trait activation... therefore I decided that, heck, natural triple 6 demands awesome stuff, so there you go.

B - Worst case we have a strong ally for the next generation or two.

YEEEEES! THIS MAKES EVERYTHING SO MUCH EASIER!

Of they ask, he is our son in law, so we have every right to do so.
(They must not find out that our logic is flawed!)

[Weirdsound]

If he refuses to swear fealty, our counter-offer should be an arranged marriage between our infant daughter and his heir. This would solve our male heir issue, and ensure future unity between Eldrican and Methiant.

They are far enough apart on the family tree, and we have been good enough at avoiding incest so far, that there shouldn't be any genetic issues.

Pretty sure Hein is Yoe IV's half-uncle few-times-removed ;v

1*

Hein laughs at your demand once you make clear it to him.

"Are you drunk again, Doge?"

A) "As your Emperor, I demand your fealty! Obey me!"
B) "It was only an offer. But I hope we remain friends!"
