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

I’ve got to chapter 6 so far and didn’t really like the female ROs.
Clara was with Richard and you feel like a third wheel between them.
Revna had the thing that after she kissed you she started talking with a random soldier and said to forget the kiss.
Not to mention Astryn who completely hates you and wants you dead

When the king of Marania offer his daughter’s hand in marriages to Richard for his alliance his only condition was that she will be his only wife (which will be bad news ones someone find out about Clara) so polygamous marriages must likely allowed to all the siblings.
This make me wonder if there are outer ways to secure alliances without using political marriages.

Do think we should banish or send her off marriage If we kill her lover (I think sending her marriage is dangerous cause if she marriage , it make her grow backbone , she hate us and maybe want revenge us in Future but we can fix our economic though her marriage )

Freya:Dead

Hm, I don’t want my MC to be Charles 2.0 and execute Freya. Atheris and our mother would never forgive us for it. I agree that marriage is probably not a good option either (she might elope), so it’s banishment for her. Get her to give up her title and live as a commoner with her pirate lover.

So, I managed to dig up a little more info about Aldreda (Francis’ mother). Clara says she was the daughter of a knight, and when you read the book about Francis, it does say that he fell in love with an ordinary girl. But that’s what the Rhivenians know and may not align with what Pagonia knows about Erwan’s mother.

The most convincing evidence I could find is the fact that Astryn’s father helped Aldreda, as told by Astryn in Chapter 5. Now, why would a king help to settle a random commoner in his land, especially if she was being hunted down by another king? He could have angered Charles and risked war. It’s possible he knew about her lineage and felt it was worth the risk.

Just a fun theory to muse about while we wait for the second book. Only the author can confirm it ofc, but it’s probably a spoiler at this point.

Honeslty I give 0 fucks about Mother I don’t like her, Atheris is cool so making her feel bad would be another story

That said, the idea of having pirate as brother-in-law is such a idiotic and crazy idea that I must do it.

You won’t have inheritance and civil war problems if there is no one to inherit the throne after you

My own theory is that Astryn’s father welcomed Aldreda only because she knew whose son she had on her belly.

That’s a useful dissident that practically fell in his hand,the opportunity to create chaos on their hated neighbours and rivals Rhivenia on the next generation all done by welcoming in secret the lover of a dead Rhivenian Prince,using Erwan on the next generation while easily winning his loyalty due to being treated well is a good plan.

Backing Erwan’s War was always on their plans for Pagonia it just took the most stupid form due to Astryn.

Also whether Aldreda was the daughter of a Knight (do not know where that was mentioned,interesting new info) or a random common lass matters little on the eyes of Royalty,thing is the marriage had little value,impoverished knights are many times compared to commoners so perphaps that could be the point for her character backstory.

That probably also factored in his decision. Both could be true. I think if both were true, it could explain how Erwan became king with the support of Pagonian nobles, since he has an advantage over Astryn with his claim to the South and to Rhivenia.

I think the daughter of a knight bit is there to explain how Aldreda met Francis. Very few commoners have regular contact with royals after all. Jarean was lucky that the MC visited his tavern and not any other.

She mentions it in Chapter 3 when you check in on her. Notably, she also says her father told her that Francis was executed before he could marry Aldreda. But the weird thing is that other characters call her Francis’ wife? Not sure who is supposed to be correct here. Maybe they did get married in secret, and since Charles never wanted them to be together, that only gave him more reason to have them both killed.

Yes, our father never want cause he lack trust and paranoid in his brother After his two brother’s rebellion and Aldreana heavily pressure Fransic to choose between Chales and her.(You will know that She is not victim and very selfish people (For me) if you read in patron) It make his action is very aggressive.

I wonder how Charles know that Aldreda was trying to use Fransic against him before he found those letters.

Make want to Erwan’s reaction ones he learn the true about his mom.

Are you talking about Aldreda’s letter? That was in the first book. Is there new info about her/Francis in the Patreon demo?

Same here. It could be that Charles was the first to want Aldreda gone, thinking she was evil for no good reason (at least initially), and that was why she felt he was a threat.

Maybe the Sword will show the MC more memories about this. I mean, letters can be forged, and you’d think a half-decent rebel would burn them afterwards, or only talk about their plans in person. On the other hand, memories from a magic sword are probably not so easily tampered with.

Have new info in Demo from MC ruler’s memories .

No I don’t think so ,First he just hate her,But after rebellion He is very paranoid ,he hate and absolutely don’t trust her,especially Whatever Francis try to speak to defend her.It only make him belives Aldreda try to turn Fransic againts him ( Aldreda also seem try to do it for her selfishness reason (For me))

But They are both wrong (From new info in Demo,I can tell that They both not innocent )

I think after rebellion , Maybe Aldreda can sense Chales’s over-paranoid plus the fact that Chales hate her (And she also hate him),she want to separate Fransic from him with heavily pressuring him to choose

Chales is always a threat for love between her and Fransic
