MC isn’t idiot either.there have many way manage it.exactly 
But Getting rip Elya and her mother off permeantly is the priority now
Yes, so he accepts the dumb costumes that suits him and rejects the ones that didn’t.
But he can’t really. Mira says her marriage to sobik was a political one and she comes from some place called “Loston.” Loston is likely another kingdom within the setting and so he couldn’t just end his alliance through marriage especially on groundless claims like that. If he did arrest her for an investigation would have to be opened and then he would look even worse. It was easier to just go along with her wants.

When I say arrest here I do mean something more like having the queen moved to a country estate to “recover from the stress of her pregnancy” or something like that. I agree that publicly divorcing her or throwing her in jail would’ve been a bad move, but maybe not a worse one than than admitting to the world that your legitimate heir of seven years was a fraud that you lied to the nobility, church hierarchy and presumably Mira’s Lostonian relatives about

Actually he could. For 7 years she told everyone she was the mother of that child, everyone who knew she was never pregnant ended up dead. All he needed to do was just to say she was insane and any investigation would just be manipulated by the King.

That’s good and all…until her relatives get involved upon which all it would take is for Mira to tell whoever gets sent by Loston about the MC’s mom and everything gets revealed. Mc’s mom being executed and their dishonouring happened the same day so at that point there was in fact one person still alive who knew the full details.
Fair enough wouldn’t be the first time something like this has happened historically. Though usually it was more because they couldn’t stand one another.
So…IF the world is similar to how our actual history went it wouldn’t have mattered much. By the point Mira wanted the MC gone she had just given birth to two boys (Belos and Vedran). The legitimacy of the alliance was kept as an heir of Kantonian/Lostin descent was made and a spare was also made as well thus securing the line of succession. The nobility would likely have been mildly offput by the fact the king had a bastard but it wouldn’t have been anything groundbreaking. The church could easily be dealt with by a simple bri- I mean donation. The Lostonians? Eh…that’s a harder issue. If the MC was a boy and firstborn it would have made them severely upset. If it was a girl, i’m unsure depends on the actual laws of succession and whether it was equal or cognatic based.

Having to find a pretext of legitimacy doesn’t suit the MC, they put up with it because they have to.

Ok, she tells someone and people will just believe her? Remember that everyone thinks she was pregnant, she lived as the mother of the MC for seven years and one day went crazy and maimed that child and started saying the MC wasn’t hers. Do you think it is more reasonable that people would think she went crazy or that she is speaking the truth? There is no dna test at this time, all the nurses were executed by the King, there is no way for her to proove she is speaking the truth unless Sobik said it was the truth. Lucky for her, it was what he did.
So he accepted and put up with the dumb costumes that suited him and rejected the ones that didn’t

Her going crazy and maiming the child is the incident she demanded to happen, the series of event is like such:
Mira drinks an absurd amount one night and confronts sobik.
She tells sobik she’ll go public with the knowledge about the MC unless the MC is disinherited and removed from her sight/household immediately.
Sobik agrees to this and starts working on it.
Mira in her drunken rage dishonours the MC either with someone’s help or by herself.
Sobik to be able to disinherit the MC first gets rid of the MC’s mother by execution for some unknown crime (Not stated what exactly) most likely to make sure she doesn’t cause issues.
As it was a he said she said situation her family/retainers from Loston are more likely to believe her when she claims the child is a bastard and she pretended being pregnant for the sake of the alliance. Again all she would have to do is tell whoever is sent from Loston about the MC’s mother who is still alive and then the retainer goes and finds her and offers to pay her or torture her for the information. Then once they get that information, Loston has official grounds to completely negate the marriage and the alliance all together. This would make Sobik look incompetent as could be.

That is not a good way to confirm the veracity of the truth. If you offer money to a random peasant to say if she is the mother of someone, the chance is that she will say she is. Or if you torture someone, they will just agree with what you want to stop it.
At the end of the day, she only got the proof that the MC wasn’t hers because Sobik agreed with her.

As long as they have someone who looks like the MC in this case they have the same color eyes, and probably some other physical features like whether the MC has dimples or any other numerous genetic indicators.
As for the legitimacy of the testimony it wouldn’t matter there are numerous cases historically where victims were tortured until confession and it was perfectly legal to do. I doubt that would be an issue here. Or if the retainer was generous and politically savvy enough he could offer the mom and kid protection within loston to make sure they keep that evidence.
The MC was just disinherited by Sobik. Mira chopped their fingers herself.
She’d wanted them gone (but cared about them, but wanted them gone…) for a while after Belos and Vedran’s births. The Marshal was 7 when disinherited and dishonored, and 3-4 when the twins were born. F!Marshal is betrothed to Milon at some point before (but not very long before—Milon is her age and remembers meeting her and being told she’s his future wife even as an adult) her disinheritance/maiming.

@Bacondoneright Sorry for the disturbance but I have again, to report something I have already reported, before the update of the game.
Apparently there is still the - to the casualty and injured of the army (the heavy cavalry specifically), after i destroyed Mozoroff.
P. S. I finally destroyed the bastard in a pitched battle!

Logistics question, where the hell are we getting the money to pay our troops? It’s never mentioned anywhere.

During Mira’s “talk” with the MC in the wine cellar, Mira stated that during the best day of her life while in the exact same “drunken rage,” she both confronted Sobrik and then went into the MC’s room and cut off the fingers.
There was no time between the blackmail threat and the petty revenge.

I suppose we are really spending those big bucks from kingdom’s treasury. Some vassal taxes and trade profits stashed away for something like this. I’m pretty sure that Sobik anticipated a move from Rade so that’s why that retinue was raised, makes sense he would be saving money to pay for those troops while they are needed. It seems like Kanton is doing well, so it’s not unreasonable.

Right, but Tywin was a monster who lost the game and whose cruelty and greed ruined everything he came into contact with.
It’s a legitimate way to play through the game, don’t get me wrong, but the question was “Why doesn’t Darin support the MC taking the throne?” and the whole “he came to a bad end after ruining everything and he didn’t even get to win the game” thing that Tywin did is a pretty good reason not to support it imo. Darin wants better things for the MC.
They do say that the best revenge is living well.

To be honest, Mira is such a wrecked old pathetic thing that taking revenge against her is just punching down, not up - so where is the point?

In relation to your siege tower question the simple answer was rade didnt think he needed such not when he had his new cannons and after bellos suicide charge just hieghtened his thoughts that such wasnt needed. An to be fair if it wasnt for the marshal his plan might well have succeeded
To the money bit all thats being done behind the scences and likely run through darin since he has been the quartermaster of sorts. Not to mention the regular levies probally not getting paid and the heavy cav nobles are fullffiling there duty to the crown. As to the rest and those previously mentioned all behind the scences is probally the best anwser were going to have right now lol
