Ethelwulf was too young to take the throne, and the nobles and Queen Mother did decide in the ascension fluff that Lech will take the throne instead v:

You inform them that your previous ruling stands, and they are to accept all fleeing Kiwis.

The agreement with Parsians brought little revenue. At least Augas continues to fill the coffer well..

It took a while, but the mercenaries and hired vagabonds managed to form some units under Luathbas banner.

Also, the festivals sponsored by the Crown were quite welcomed by the weary and unhappy populace!


Its that time of year when the advisor visits you with those scrolls of his.

Happiness: 3
Population: 5
Economy: 4
Army: 4

"There is some steady progress, my liege." The advisor sets the scrolls aside. "But it could do well to further appease the populace. Mayhaps we spend some more coins on festival and other such joyful celebrations, hmmm?"

A) "Sure, let's go with that."
B) "Nay! They had enough fun last year."

You offer to let her go and let her take the kids if she just explains herself.

"You usurped the throne of my child! You think I would like to live under the roof of someone like you?" She sounds bitter, and your Queen Mother glares at her.

Per your little deal, you let her leave the palace with her kids in tow. You receive a report from your soldiers that she crossed the western border.


Another migrant wave have moved into your Kingdom via the western borders. The governors are troubled, as they're not sure if it would be wise to house so many in so little time. However, they still ask the Crown's guidance in this matter.

A) Shrug, and let the governors do as they see fit.
B) Uphold your previous decision, and let all of the fleeing Kiwis in.
C) Overturn your previous decision, and forbid entry of any new Kiwi migrants into Luathbas.

You order the soldiers to search for her and bring her back.

Three days later they return will all six in tow, having found Aolineniya in the forests near the western border.

She is brought to you but refuses to explain herself.

"Clearly she is trying to concoct some plan to undermine your rule!" Queen Mother Ciri, standing at your side, was always distrustful of the elven girl.

A) Offer to let her and her children go if she explains herself.
B) Confine Aolineniya to her previous chambers and put guards there.
C) Throw her into the dungeon and keep her children under constant watch.
D) Have Aolineniya executed and throw the kids into the dungeon to remove the (potential) threat forever.

You order the governors to welcome the migrants. All of them.


Ahab Hahalol is back, and he quickly explains that his King is willing to provide some tax cuts for Luathbas goods and better treatment of the merchants if you cease the trade with Gubtas.

A) Yep, that sounds good.
B) Naw, I had change of mind!

You tell him that you happily accept Benelisse the Unwanted as your wife. He bows and leaves to inform Queen Alexandra of your decision.


The marriage ceremony is a simple and a quick manner, especially as you have more important things on mind. The 'Unwanted' moniker suits Benelisse; she has a stutter, red splotches on her face and terrible skills with knitting and conversation. Her aunt, that's it, Queen Alexandra, did not attend due to 'pressing matters', but a rumor came from Benelisse's entourage that the Queen was actually furious about what you did.

The trade advisor reports good news; the exchange with Gubtas brought extra wealth to the Kingdom's coffers.


The advisor brings you the Scrolls of Kingdom Status. You dread the numbers on these scrolls, considering the huge casaulties of the campaign, loss of the populous Southern Territories, and the people's unhappiness from the defeat...

Happiness: 2
Population: 4
Economy: 5
Army: 3

These... you reckon these could be worse.

"My dear King," starts the Advisor, "As you can see the people are unhappy with the rule of Houlandin dynasty. Our army is also in shambles following your brother's failed campaign. However, the Treasury is growing rich thanks to the revenues from the East. Shall we spend some coin on bettering the lifes of the peasants?"

A) "Yes, lets throw some festivals to improve the people's mood."
B) "Yes, get me some festivals. Also, buy services of mercenaries as well! We have to replenish our army's numbers."
C) "No, it is the army that we need! Hire me some mercenaries at once!"
D) "No, we shall do naught about this."
