The Sword of Rhivenia: Book One (CHECK #3830)

Dang. Think she might come around in the future with the explanation of /yknow saving the kingdom I just got/ or no?

I enjoyed it! I ended up with Xavier and Jarean and I’m so happy. I’m glad my MC has two supportive husbands given what a bloodthirsty culture she lives in XD

something i find stupid about richard is that he didn’t want to marry us without our will but still he never asked us if we wanted to or not

maybe the mc wanted to accept so he could feel useful for the kingdom or something

I regret that there was no option to take titles away from our sister Freya so that, on the one hand, they cut off relations with her due to her affair and, on the other hand, not lose the popular support for being related to a sea thief.

Does someone have a walkthrough of all the possible choices and outcomes like there is for I, the Forgotten One? I’d like to see some of the different outcomes I didn’t get and how to get them

It’s really hard to forgive Astryn for poisoning innocent people. I mean, I’ve tried to be reasonable and understanding about her situation and she just did blow up the whole thing. Even harder when you try to pursue her route.

Well my King MC is doing a great job between pissing off Richard for taking his girl and forcing him to marry and getting an internal riot rising up just because he’s too forgiving. :sweat_smile:

So for the speech to be successful we need to promise the people to kill Erwan and basically be ruthless? Damn, mayne my kind MC is not fit to be queen then :pensive:

Giving speeches is not about pouring out your heart. It’s speaking the words that audience wants to hear: in this case, medieval society which is at war wants to hear call for blood

You know, in the play through I’ll carry forward , that’s how I’ll view the bloodthirsty speech. My PC was furious (about her poor, defenseless civilian citizens, her councilors, and her politically-betrothed-true-love being poisoned) and betrayed (she thought that she’d made in-roads with Astryn, and she’d genuinely grown to like Matteo over time), so when the speech time came, she was very much in a “Pagonia delenda est!” state of mind. Once the haze clears, she will be much more pragmatic and calm.

I mean I promised to kill Erwen (he IS behind the poisoning ultimately after all) but they were still grumpy grumpy.

On a unrelated note I got into mega super protective dad territory with Leia. Nothin’ gonna hurt my new little girl! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I hope theres a sequal to this book the story ended at a pretty awkward point in my opinion. Also what happned to the get married and start a family option? Is that only for certain routes ive done Daemir, Xavier and Claras so far and that never really came up.

Can you marry Xavier as like a political alliance marriage thing as a prince/ss? Cuz I was aiming for that but at the negotiating table Lena was only interested in Richard despite me freeing Xavier etc.

I mean I had to think of this the moment I saw the name…

I mean I was already channeling Obi-Wan vs Anakin with my MC and Richard but darn it. :rofl:

It’s only Book 1! My MC is with Clara but also in an arranged marriage with Lena and the marriage hasn’t happened there yet either.

yes my daughter

I am afraid of later having biological children and that she will be treated badly for not being “real” brothers

or that people get angry about her being chosen by the sword and not my biological children

“I can see it’s your first encounter with freedom of speech. Just do what you consider right and let others discuss it. You know, not everyone gets a chance to become a baron, so discussing a baron’s actions is actually all the unlucky ones can do.” - Jubilost from Pathfinder: Kingmaker.

I don’t think so.

Lena isn’t interested by the kindness of the MC, she cares about the power she could gain by marrying the ruler of Rhivenia
