Yeah! Loving all the aspects of it, and the original series got a bit boring, to be honest.

It's quite good, and has everything a SPAMKINGDOM should have.

It's okay, wouldn't mind seeing the original series updated again though.

I WANT MY FIREBLOOD EMPIRE BACK RIGHT NOW!!!1eleven

B We can make reparations later, but it would be a bad idea for both of us if we took her back in now.

[Haspen]

You declare three times, in front of the Priests and the gathered courties, that Ane of Gellaine is no longer your wife. The Priests announce thusly that the marriage is annulled while ex-Queen of Kastoria cries as she is taken away from the hall.

She leaves the palace and the capital before the nightfall, taking her servants and a Kastorian escort with her to the borders with Xane-Peon.

443 AEC, Winter

Of course, you're without a wife, and without a heir. Doesn't take long for a council of nobles to gather to give you some proposals.

"My granddaughter Xenia is willing to marry and be at your side, my liege." Says the elderly Duke Oro. "She is a kind-hearted soul who does not mind the disabilities of the King. Considering that she has turned fifteen this very Summer, she is ready to step through adulthood with a man at her side."

"I also offer a hand of one of my relatives, my liege." Count Estrada, a twenty-something lordling of little accomplishments so far, raises his voice. "It's my youngest sister, called Noela. She is seventeen like you, my liege, and she is of great beauty and with many talents in song, poetry, history and religious laws. She could complement you well and advice you when needed." Other noblemen murmur and whisper with each other, but no other offers seem to be forthcoming.

A) "Who said I will be re-marrying? Definitely not for a while!"
B) "I shall marry Xenia, granddaughter of Duke Oro."
C) "I shall marry Noela, sister of Count Estrada."

Are our bedroom issues public knowledge? Or are these nobles genuinely expecting us to give their female relatives children?

Because I'm leaning A if they don't know. Don't want our underlings pissed at us because we took their sister/granddaughter without telling anyone that we can't get the job done.

[Kashyyk]

Even if they don't, I'm gonna go with B. She sounds the most likely one to help us, ahem, perform our duties, and having someone nice to look after us should a pleasant change.

C looks like she'd be able to lend us a Wise trait, but since we basically have no relatives we'll lose the game when we die, so we have to put the effort in to continue our dynasty.

Technically, you do have the second branch of Lycwl's kids, although you either drag one of the ladies from abroad back home, or give crown to Matin (the youngest) who's living in the country ;v

I'm assuming widespread gossip at the very least – the poor rolls with Ane mean she made no secret that she despised us and never spent the night. If we'd already had a child we might have let her be, but we need that cover story should, ahem, a surrogate father enter the picture. Mention of which ought not be taken as a proposal for action, merely one possibility that the future might throw.

Noela is named as both Count Estradas sister, and daughter in the above post and that makes me a good deal suspicious /s

You announce your intent to marry Xenia, granddaughter of Duke Oro. The courtiers congratulate your choice, and Duke Oro as well.

443 AEC, Midwinter

The marriage of yours and Xenia's is a fast one. Because the previous marriage was annuled with the Gods' approval, there's no objection from the clergy to your second marriage.

Xenia proves to be of rather small stature and assets after she disrobes, but her sight alone and the mischievious spark in her bright blue eyes does stir your loins. No seed is planted this night, however, although you did your best.

"Nature always finds a way." Xenia mentions before you two fall asleep, exhausted, shortly before morning. You vow to yourself to try every night if need be.

443 AEC, End of the Year

The Scrolls of Kingdom Status find their way onto your desk for the second time in your life.

"Unfortunately, my liege, the lateness of taxes coupled with the exempt upon clergy and their families have resulted in the procured money being rather low in amount. All we did was burden the peasants fruitlessly!"

"We will revoke the tax exempt then!"

"Is this wise, my liege? The clergy has worked in your favor lately, how will it look if you repay their generosity like this?"

A) "Revoke the tax exempt anyway!"
B) "Fine... we will wait couple years more."

"We could extend the tax on peasants, or tax the noblemen instead, if you so desire."

A) "The peasants shall be burdened one more year then!"
B) "Let's tax the nobles instead, have them contribute to the country's Treasury!"
C) "Neither of these are needed, soon the salt money will come."
