Road to the Crown

Political marriage, war taxes, subsidies, a tribute... All those terms sound nice when one juggles them from behind the screen of his trusty computer! Junk food? Check. Sugary drinks that will cause me diabetes? Check. Two weeks of leave from the work? Check. A fresh copy of the newly released game finishing downloading as I'm going back from the grocery store? Check. Oops! My emotions got better to me, and I tripped on the stairs. I'm so silly! Then... Why the hell am I kneeling in a throne room, watching the marriage and coronation ceremony of the King, dressed in the noble robes with the game itself only flashing in the corner of my eyes?

Ostros's claims

28th June 1574

"Sir, an envoy from the Ostros family has arrived!"

Already back in the castle, I intended to play around with Elia a bit, only to have one of the servants come with an urgent report. Were it any other, smaller family and I would simply force them to wait for my lust to be satisfied, yet there was no playing around with Ostros family. 

Despite being a major family in the current Commonwealth, rather than looking to ally myself with them, so far, I wanted to avoid starting any relationship with this household for a really simple reason. They were the ones that in the original timeline lead the great Tarnowian castle to its downfall! 

Taking it over after the death of my great ancestors, they used it as nothing but another card in their hand to play against other nobles, swiftly causing their own political adversaries to burn not only the castle along with its many treasures but even the city itself!
