Well, now that my
crazy well loved father d
ied by my hand has had an
unfortunate accident I can start the long process of fixing my domain. First order of business: give my self a middle name! My father was too busy
being paranoid protecting himself from our many enemies to give me one.
Now that's more like it! With my new middle name I feel lot better already. We have +0 overall for stability of my empire but lack money, and have little prestige. The church is upset with me too. I am sure I can do a better job then my father has done. It will be hard though with only 3 providences. Even harder, I can only run 2 providences, putting us low on the efficiency scale.
Wow look at my court members! They look good at what they do. After I patiently listening to the Bishop ramble on about liberating Alexandria from the heathens I told him to be quiet. We just don't have the money to wage any wars right now. I should make a plan to get rid of him for wasting my time just like my father.
While on on the subject of politics I check the overall status of my empire, revealing...
..was that did not have much of one, what a bummer that is...
Anyways, I ask about those provinces and they give me this...
Which was a report of the provinces. 2 of 3 are pagan provinces. The bishop jumped at this, happily proclaiming that we need to convert them at some point to the one true faith. Then my steward pointed out that we lack the money to build the churches, so it will has to wait. He also pointed out that they are very far away from us too. (Personally, why do we need a
building to covert them to christaniaty anyway?)
I can't belive some guy gave me this! Why in heck would we need it anyway? The only fun part was when the bishop called it devil work. So, to spite him, I named him unoffical siecence person of the court. The ensuing fight amused me greatly.
My court strongly suggested against the alliance but we don't have any allies and it sounded like fun. I went against them because well... I just have this very good feeling about it. After I did so, for some strange reason my court started to all but line up for the bishop to repent their sins. I caught something about "the end of the world is near". What ever
, all I know is, the bishop is now on my official hit list.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) he could not take the humailition I put him through. Though he siad he would get the Pope to get me excommunicated for what I have done, I told him
he can stick it up his own -- he has no evidence. I just make sure to visit the church once or twice to make sure could he not go through with his plan.
Good news! Isabelle is pregnant, I hope it's a boy. He shall continue the glorious empire!

Several days later our brand new ally wants to go to war. I declined it since it would be a bad move. Maybe I should have listened to my advisors and not made the alliance in the first place... oh well.

Well, finally I finished my education. I immediately then proceded kick my teachers out of the court, though my mother talked me out of exiling the lot of them. I had to exile
someone, so I exiled my former bishop for leaving me. That will teach him!

This is the last straw. I told him where he can stick his war.

What a cretin! The man insults me after he loses to me in a tournament? I demand immediate compensation from that fool! Sadly nothing comes of it. I have an feeling...
ps. I found Zscreen which allows me to resize the pictures as I take them, automatically.
