I liked the original well enough, but this rewrite is much better. The king is an actual character here, which is nice because he was just… there before the rewrite
That said, one thing I found disappointing is the removal of the non-ruler path. I’m probably one of the few people who actually enjoyed it because I liked the idea of playing as the dutiful ‘soldier’ of the family.
Yeah, the ruler run I did once. The non ruler run I did couple times before. Of course doing the ruler run I forced big bro to marry other neighbor and I married the Queen. Well, would have but doesn’t go that far. She can make the babies if she wants, I didn’t plan too. Hence, why I avoided doing the ruler run first couple of times and ruler only once.
You can do that by doing what you are supposed to do as king
Aetheris isn’t much good but I think she will survive
Richard will literally doom the Rhivenia
I don’t understand why lena want to marry mc after what was done to her family.
Is it just ambition to become queen of more powerful kingdom?
She could have joined Southerner to attack rhivinea.
Doesn’t she stoping caring about him in book one when mc goes to her kingdom?
She said she will only join mc for marriage alliance even if we threaten her with Xavier(which was smart move from her).
My MC when Aetherys becomes Queen:
Oh dear, oh dear. Gorgeous
My MC when Richard becomes king:
After I free Xavier and the foreign princesses. Forgive Mateo and kill the guard just after he made a fool out of Richard. While probably also plotting to rebel if Freya is not given everything she wants
You fucking donkey!
Because if treated Xavier right, by saving him, keeping him healthy and watching out for him. Really puts MC in a respectful light.
If did none of that, sure, joining South does make more sense once Xavier was freed. Again, freedom requires doing previous paragraphs tasks.
It’s a political marriage, yes. And having your children control the country which subjugated you is effectively coming on top in the end. Without fighting which would be also severe blow to her own country due to all costs involved.
I never kept him prisoner myself. Only played original few times though. Joining the southern invaders does not guarantee a position that she already has with MCs place.
Plus, Navy and naval access is being hugely ignored for some reason. In order to stop Piracy like the narrative states, we got one hell of a fleet.
Southerners would lose regardless of taking the Capitol unless they joined that pirate fleet.
Right now narrative is unbelievable yet. No trade? How? Why?
Chapter 5 is not loading for me but still love this version
Chapter 5 is currently only available to the patrons. But the public demo doesn’t account for it and so tries to jump to it anyway, instead of the “thanks for playing” page.
Speaking of Lena; remind me if i’ve forgotten, but the marriage she offers to you is a standard marriage, rather than a personal union a la Castille and Aragon right? I mean, I don’t now how exactly Xavier would rule as a King when he spent his entire childhood and teenage years learning absolutely nothing of what a king needs to learn, but i do believe that’s what happens, right?
Looked that term up. Made one Kingdom to rid Muslims. Ok?
Lena apparently rules cause Father allows it. Thus she really isn’t in a power to do much, even with her brother returned. According to story anyway.
Idk. I have plans to marry with her anyway. She’s the one I prefer out of my choices. Not interested in Ms Frosty, forgot her name, and Clara is off the table for bro. The only other one I’m interested in is the southern gal. That dancer knows her way around women, which will be my choice to fling with each time.
…No? By the time of the union between Castille and Aragon, the muslims had been pushed all the way down to Granada for a long time already. They united with the specific intent to rule jointly. Of course, Spain wouldn’t actually become a single country until the 18th century, they were still a union of several crowns like Leon, Galicia, Castille, Aragon and Navarre.
No, she rules because her father has her brother as a hostage, and though Rhivenia seems to be implied to be the biggest ‘military power’ of the region, given how it was able to murder a neighbouring king without any consequences, it’s still an independent crown.
So in the end, what matters is still whether Lena’s marriage will be a personal union (their kids will have claim to both their kingdoms, and assumedly the one chosen by the sword will also inherit both) or if she’s going to abdicate the throne and leave it entirely to Xavier (children will only have claim to Rhivenia). The issue with the latter, of course, is that Xavier was raised as a prisoner, not a monarch, and thus knows absolutely nothing about being a king, which is kind of an issue if Lena goes off to stay with her new husband in her marriage route, which she will.
I can adopt, which I had done in original story. She would become ruler after me. If Lena wants a baby, thats on her to find a man to help her with that. I have no intent on producing heirs myself.
Lena is available for more than just men rulers.
I don’t see what that has to do with whether it’s a standard marriage or a dynastic union but ok?
I don’t think you quite get what i mean by inheritance. If you choose to adopt a girl, then that girl will be your heir. In a STANDARD marriage this means the girl will inherit Rhivenia, or at least be capable of being chosen by the sword to do so. In a PERSONAL UNION this would mean the girl would inherit both the protagonist and lena’s kingdoms. I’m asking which one of the two Lena’s marriage offer is.
I thought you were bringing up that children of Lenas would benefit taking both kingdoms?
I was stating that won’t be happening if I get to adopt that girl again. She will get it all.
I am breaking the Swords decision making via no heirs.
In the OG, Clara was just a friend to my MC. This time around, I mainly avoid her.
Well then her being fine with adopted children taking over won’t make sense
She would want biological children with mc
That is case. She wants to make her brother a king and marry mc in original game. I don’t know if that will be same in remake. I would like if we get option to convince her to make Asinea part of Rhivenia if we marry her.her brother can become lord of Asinea if she wants or that can be also given to her second child if she wants that.
I think he will be just pupet of lena
Well, that much I could understand, but at that point, wouldn’t it make more sense to just have a personal union? All that keeping Xavier as an “Independent King” does is paint a target on him and still force him into a job he doesn’t really know how to actually do.
I suppose i can understand she wouldn’t trust the MC at the start of such a marriage, but what’s her plan then? If the MC were to pull a Charles on her, does she think Xavier would be beloved enough and knowledgeable enough to lead a war? And given Xavier didn’t even want to be King in the first place even back when he was a kid, I’m not so sure it’d be a matter of ‘setting things right with her brother’ for her.
One thing i should note, however, is that a personal union wouldn’t exactly just mean ‘making Asinea part of Rhivenia’. In the case of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabela of Castille, their marriage was agreed to be Tanto Monta, Monta Tanto, which basically specified that they were ‘equal’ when it came to power, rather than it being a case of one kingdom being the junior partner.
Who says she’s going to be fine with it? The old version of the game ended just before Lena’s arrival, and there was no such adopted kid when you were making the marriage deal.
The kid might find herself very short-lived or otherwise sidelined. Or not even present in the new version, guess we’ll see.
Thanks for the heads up i didn’t know
