"Ashlyn will keep it."

The captain grimaced.

"Should I chalk it up as theft of my spoils or not yet?"

"Yep." Ethan stood up and then stretched a little bit.

Ethan pulled away the nearest chair and sat down, stretching his legs and placing his hands behind his neck.

You're ready to accept the 'new' rewards for the help against your western neighbour, when one of the nobles at the throne room raises his voice.

4*

Soon others near him clamor for attention.

"My liege, but what about the other rewards we were promised?" You order the envoy to explain himself, but you see his cloak disappearing behind the door!

"Stop him!"

The suspiciously-acting emissary is quickly caught after he has the unfortunate bump against trio of your guards. The man is hauled into the dungeon for the time being.

Your noblemen talk amongst themselves about this strange yet dangerous happening. The Advisor leans to you.

"Shall we postpone the talk with emissary from Ceodwell to interrogate the Eldrican, or shall we go as if nothing happened?"

A) "Dismiss the Ceodwellian man, we need to get answers from this strange imposter first!"
B) "We will get answers in time, let's continue on as if nothing happened. Get the Ceodwell emissary in."

You arrive in the throne room as the Eldrican diplomat is brought in.

"Greetings, King Yoe of Methiant! Our campaign against Koi and Kiwi has been a success. The Duchy of Koi has been annexed and the Kiwis are now our vassals. Nothing but a small unit of noble cavalry arrived from Felonsein to help them, and we believe it you our King has to thank for. Therefore he wishes to know what you desire more, ties to his powerful family or secrets of Fireblood?"

A) "Calling him a brother would be an honour. Let's arrange a marriage between our kingdoms."
B) "An infusion of western schematics will do nicely to advance our own Blackheart development."
C) "Those aren't what I hoped for, in terms of a reward. Is there anything else I could have?"

You agree to make part of your army the guards for lazy (or unwilling) Felonsein population.


The Spymaster presents his report. For four months, his agents traveled thorough the entire kingdom, and even beyond its borders, and failed to find anyone remotely similar to Gedavina that could also be a spy, mercenary, adventurer, warrior or hired assassin of any kind.

You grumble and acknowledge that you must've been seeing things.

Few days later, during a council with the nobles, all things go smoothly till very end, when they again bring the insensitive issue to you.

"My liege, you still lack a true heir. For the glory and safety of the dynasty and Kingdom of Methiant, you should re-marry."

A) "Nonsense! My brother is still around, he will take over the throne when I'm dead."
B) "Agreed. The time has come - find me a suitable wife to be my next Queen."
