You decide to go to library. Your wife is there, and she is reading on some books about medicine. You on other hand pick recently finished up-to-date book of 'Lives of Houlandines'.

You don't get far with your book before a sudden commotion and shouting guards make you and your wife worry. You two leave in a hurry and follow the guards upstairs.

"My liege, someone has snuck into your son Arran's bedchamber!" Then the screams of maids and calls for a healer make your heart stop.

Arran has been killed in his own bed!


Was it your cousin Sela? Kiwis? Parsians? Damdamians? With no trace of assailants and clues after thorough investigation, you might never learn the truth.

At least the trade advisor is ecstatic after the revenues from gold mines and Augas taxes arrive at the court.


The chieftain of Dagovidians who settled within your lands sends his condolences and says that his daughter shall marry your second-eldest son, Tvadar, if you so desire.

A) Eh whatever, sure.
B) No, thanks.

"Both, from lack of better options, dear. Plus I hope that the new investigator will arrive in just few more days from now."

The man let out a hum and then looked at his daughter.

"It's under the bed, in a box."

"I've already asked for more guards to patrol the streets and accompany me around. Besides, you said it yourself, dear - we have no leads. Where am I supposed to send your companions to?"

You send her some auxiliaries and few wagons of supplies with escort.

Then you order your army to return to Luathbas.

Congratulations! Houlandin III successfully completed a Military Campaign!

People cheer your victorious return and some historians ponder calling you 'The Conqueror'.


A messenger arrives from your cousin; Sela managed to conquer the Ruz capital thanks to the supplies you have sent. She is very grateful for your help.


Your son Arran have caught a nasty swamp fever that kills 8 children out of 10 and often leaves the 9th severely crippled and weak.

It takes a while but just like his grandfather, he manages to overcome the disease.


You cannot sleep.

You're not sure why, but something in the back of your head is telling you to stay awake. Your wife is gone again, probably spending time in library.

Maybe a walk will tire you body a bit?

A) Visit the palace's kitchen and ask for some oatmeal.
B) Check on your poor son, Arran, who recently suffered from swamp fever.
C) Go to the library and spend time reading books with your dearest wife.

I.7, stare at shadow.
