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

Canon perspective(not so quick overview):

Um I suppose it would go on the direction where my MC is closest to Atherys of all siblings followed by Freya,is slightly antagonistic towards Richard not because of anything just naturally finds him annoying.

The relationship with Clara starts rocky agreeing with Atherys that she has little to do with them the Royal family but then he starts to know her and nearly all of these traditionalist visions broke down,quickly becoming enamoured with her(which means a further ruft with his half brother).

My MC does not care much about the Throne but cares about the fate of the Kingdom and has a natural thirst for knowledge,very savvy/court intrigue comes as easy as breathing,scenes like spying on Matteo and the stepmother becoming highly suspicious of the man that came from nowhere.

My MC is indifferent towards the captive Prince but is intelligent to become closer to the lad in order to use that trust on the future to his advantage,same with Astryn who he ends up fancying a little.

I imagine my lad being an overachiever working himself to the bone between the library and the training field,my MC only recognises Sir Arnold as his father figure,is extremely blunt when he faces the King and not afraid of express how much he dissapointed him as a father and ruler.

Curiosity drives my character,he has learnt the southern language and would like to visit the known world and understand other cultures,is quite charismatic and people usually say that he barely takes matters seriously,despite being so approachable,he always suspects people’s motives the result of growing in court,if you gain his trust he will help you till the very end.

First off, I love your MC. Secondly, I think he’d be pleased to know that we’ll be able to name a kid after best dad Sir Arnold! Nutella Queen confirmed it on tumblr!

Too bad that the public demo ends midway though and when it’s get to the good part What a big cliffhanger that is unless you plan to pay and the book is in series. The silver lining to it is that the author is quite fast in typing and coding.

Yep. There’s currently a long waiting list for Hosted Games but that also means we probably won’t have to wait a long time for the next books.

That’s excellent news!
Will literally name the eldest male after him when I get the chance,destroying the sword and making absolute the “eldest child inherits”(which means equality on the prospect,eldest girl or boy born first) so typical of the feudal system with a slight twist.

I see your a conservative traditionalist huh? In contrast to my Progressive type. But no biggie to each their own after all.

I guess if you combine all of the core points that make my character…Marrying both Clara and the Queen,getting rid of the sword system replacing it with a stable inheritance law,embracing cultural aspects of other Kingdoms if it means more prosperity,ending old grievances while taking some extra land when we can…the Rhivenian Monarchy must change its views if it wants to survive,I embrace change just the kind of change that allows the character’s legacy to come on top.

A classic monarchist then or a selfish narcissistic dictator? Hahah no judgement but i guess your in the middle then while preferring to be on top of things. While i plan to be something like your typical conqueror annexing anything i could get my hands on and i mean everything big or small to my glorious empire hehe while leaving the administration to others. I won’t have any grievances since my enemies would all be dead.

My MCs just want to survive as of now :sweat_smile:. After that, they can focus on expansion and infrastructure and the economy. Alexandria will probably turn her eyes to Asinea and Alexandre will look to Pagonia. But first they need to defeat their cousin.

Why choose just to survive when you can thrive and prosper? but smart move slow and steady as they say after all Rome wasn’t built in a day. Every successful nation need to have a good foundation to stand on.

Best to make sure your most dangerous and immediate enemy is six feet under before you start making new ones, or turn your attention away from them.

Keep your friends/allies close and your enemies closer or preferably six feet underground beneath you.

My “canon playthrough” is a very idealistic boy who may be a bit too soft for the throne, but still got chosen by the sword, which means that, if anything, he has the potential and the skills. More than any of his siblings, he loves Richards deeply, and (if the game allows it), would make anything for things to work out between him and Clara.
He fell in love with Xavier and promised to free him, which he did - even though in the end, since he got chosen by the sword, it may not have even been needed as he could have decided to free him, probably. But at the very least, that DID show Xavier he was truly sincere in his desire to help him, even if it was dangerous.
As a side note, Xavier is the only character my MC will romance - not doing any poly.

I can’t say more since I didn’t play the patreon version.

Your MC sounds awesome! Poor guy’s gonna have a tough time though. Kindness can serve as a hindrance for a king, sometimes.
