This was a fun chapter. I really enjoyed all the threads of previous choices coming together – through schmoozing with the army, gaining the support of Yu Tao, and taking funds from the kingdom and the accountants, Cinderella was successfully able to claim the throne as planned. I haven’t tried it out yet, but I also liked that there’s the option to spare Aloycius as well, as it seems both he and Cinderella have a similar mindset. I loved both A Dark New Day endings – whether it was being betrayed by Mortimer (again) after having staged a coup ourselves or living unnaturally long even as the deal destroyed Cinderella’s body, it looks like Don Cinderella has become a sith lord and turned into Darth Cinderella.
During the fight against Aloycius, there was no mention of Pat (perhaps because Cinderella took direct control of the army and personally went after the usurper), which seemed strange considering how much attention had been paid to his loyalty. I was also a little disappointed in the failed SCARE ending, since I had convinced Roderick to stay as a farmer. I figured that he would have reacted as he did in the route against Aloycius and abdicated the throne, but it appears in this ending that’s ignored.
Summary
"I helped fund and form a military unit recently. It would be easy to have them moved under my direct command.
Add a quotation mark at the end.
With protection froom the grosses abuses of their overlords and a path forward to make better lives for their children, many would-be rebels end up settling back into their normal routine.
“froom” should be “from”.
At this point, our plan to take over is coming together nicely.
“our” should be “your”.
As for those who were already with you,
I had Duke Smythe and the prince as allies, but the sentence ended here. It seems as those “loveint” is never set to 1, and “allbymy” is only set to greater than 0 when choosing certain options.
Quite some time ago, during an early stint as an interim ruler for Roderick, you had a chance to siphon some funds from a maintenance account designated for repairing the rather dilapidated western wall of the castle.
If you choose the honest option there’s no siphoned funds and K-Rod knows to repair the wall, but this line still occurs.
It’s fine if Edward takes the throne instead of me. We’re married and in love, so what’s his is mine. That includes power over this kingdom.
This option was grayed out despite Cinderella and the prince having a good relationship – the problem here is the loveint variable again.
I’ll live out my proper time and when it’s over, that will be that.

Looking forward to the epilogues!
