You take the envoy to one of the side chambers.

"Queen Elana, I am here to inform you that the Senate have been closely watching the situation on its borders in recent years. You have been attacking and seizing the lands of the Chunug without pause even after the Senate had asked Governor Califlorus to warn you."

"We have kept to our side of the deal-"

"No you haven't. The Senate allowed you take on the eastern lands of the Chunug only and in the first few years, in return for the favor of having Wrexus Magnibus die on field of battle. Not only you have squandered the time allowed and begun your conquests after that, you couldn't keep your hands off the rest of the lands of Chunug and seized all of its territory. The Senate is already facing some public discontent about letting you opress the Chunug nomads."

"And what does the Senate want?"

"The Senate demands a tribute, same amount as the one sent earlier. That's it, the Goldkeepers want gold. The Moderati and the Militari both want to send our mighty armies to step on your expansive feet, Queen Elana. This is all I have to say." He salutes you and leaves.

You speak with some of your advisors and decide to...

A) Do nothing about this.
B) Send a tribute to the Senate in hopes of last-minute pacifying of their warmongering factions.
C) Order the Army to return to Luathbas at once and prepare for possibly another conflict, possibly very soon.

You leave the throne room to speak with the Spymaster, who bows the moment he sees you.

"Queen Elana, we have found Princess Eirike. Turns out she managed to get to the city of Eoain, just few hours north of here. My agents captured her when she was trying to barter some of her jewelery for a ride to the border with Damdamia with some merchants heading there." You ponder her reasoning.

"My men have her safe and secure and we await your decision what to do with her."

A) "Obviously, your agents are most diligent than my soldiers. Have her escorted to the very hands of King Anktuk."
B) "Get her here and lock her in a tower, I will deal with King Anktuk later."
C) -

The Spymaster is instructed to sned his agents and check routes and settlements between the border and the palace, as you have a hunch.

Few days later, the Advisor and the Treasurer arrive at your throne room, bringing several scrolls.

"Your Majesty, the projected treasury reform will take about four or five years to implement. After that, the amount of money spent on wages will be rather significant." The Treasurer explains as you read the scrolls. "However, even with the current Army budget, we are making enough money to cover even this bureaucratic expense rather well."

"All you need to do is sign the scrolls and we will begin."

A) Sign the scrolls and let them start.
B) Change your mind and stick to the old form.

Pilum closest viable swordsguy v;

You decide to send the money to the Senate so they buzz off, while your Army continues their conquest.


And speaking of the Army, it returned to conquering, catching up with the Kiwis who recently took over a large strip of land from the Chunug.

There's however a commotion at the palace - news came that Eirike disappeared from her entourage's ranks just the night before reaching the court of Anktuk. The King of Dahnia is already sending trackers to find the fleeing girl. The advisor leans toward you as you receive the news from the messenger.

"Is there anything we shall do to help, Your Majesty?"  You decide to...

A) Hire lvl20+ adventurers to find your escaping daughter.
B) Simply wait for the results of Dahnian's search first.
C) Send part of the Army to help with the search in the north.
D) Have the Spymaster's agents check roads between the border and your palace.

But if enemy territory gets captured, then its no longer enemy but yours, so you would be moving your army back and forth for no gain really v:?

Or one army captures enemy territory, finishes move, then next army moves through to next enemy territory.

Possible, Kashyyk did that against Austria v:

You attempt to persuade her to accept the marriage-

3*

"LALALALALA I WILL NEVER MARRY A NORTHERNEEER" She then runs off to her bedchambers.

The advisor coughs a little bit. You decide to...

A) Arrange the marriage anyways.
B) Give up on the marriage proposal.
