Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

Segeda is just a minor noblewoman from our country btw, so we don't loose any important connections from this.

A minor noblewoman from the silver mine area, in fact, which has become strategically unimportant in recent years!

With that in mind, A! Without a doubt the funniest option.

I hate to say it but she was never there for us. Let us drop the ice bucket.

You decide to preserve the kingdom even if that means your family might not survive intact.

Few days later, the proclamation of divorce circulates while Segeda, truly in shock and speechless, is escorted under guard to her home.

You send a letter to the western rebels...

...and they accept the decision. Some doesn't, and you hear a bloody skirmish followed

Within few weeks, many noblemen who has risen against you arrives at your throne room to praise your leadership and ask for forgiveness.

1104 AD, Autumn

A most unseen thing has happened in the far south. Damdamian Republic and Damdamian Empire has, after decades upon decades of conflict, decided to go for a peaceful solution. Already there are rumors that their politicians will attempt some sort of a merger, to satisfy both religious Imperialists and the shrewd Republicans.

Who knows what kind of radical idea might be brewing amongst the Damdamian politcians. Feudal republic? Elective monarchy? Something more complex? Time will tell.

Few days later, father of Segeda has sent you an insulting letter - he demands that the dowry and expenses for wedding feast are to be repaid to him!

A) Send him the money, he can have it just as he can have his terrible daughter.
B) Send him a letter in which you demand he shuts up.
C) Send agents to imprison the crazy old man.

Not that I want to spoil the resolution there, but Yoe II isn't Charismatic, he's Lucky.

In any case, B! Piss off, you old bastard, we've got troubles enough as is.

The dowry varies from culture to culture; some considered a part of the wife's ownership even if it was controlled by the husband and his family, while others considered it necessary to return to the wife's family.  Failing to return it would typically be a fairly blatant case of theft theft unless we could present an ironclad reason for why the divorce was permissible.  Given that she wasn't being unfaithful and we couldn't prove her a witch, well, that's going to be a rather tough sell.  The wedding, on the other hand, was something he chose to splurge on.  Plus, someone drained the treasury; we're not ungrateful for the outcome, but that does make covering these costs a bit tougher.

D. We'll repay the dowry, but not the feast.  That way we can offend everyone.

And please, remind him that it was his daughter who got the People riled up against us, by demanding our brother return the throne to us rather then leaving it for when our son is old enough to take it.

The grandiose wedding between you and your new wife, Segeda, is truly grandiose and fully sponsored by her father! He says he might've overpaid all this, but he even shares his wealth with you! The Treasurer couldn't be happier.

Since we had to roll to determine our share of the cost, it cannot be the case that he legally "owns" the wedding expenses. Therefore, we should treat it as a simple gift: no takesies-backsies. B

Yes, but the dowry is separate from the wedding festivities.  Hence, I proposed an option that covers the former and not the latter.  I do like the idea of blaming his daughter for having the temerity to make us king again, though; very easy to spin.

I don't think that's totally true, if they are really good he's very rarely added them.... Just. Very rarely.

B Whew. Things are looking a bit shaky right now.
