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?

Meeting (part 1)

8th May 1574

"This bastard…"

While my anger was so huge it was seeping out from my body and affecting everyone around, I still had to keep my words as silent as I could if I was unable to hold them back. After all, calling your King a bastard could be taken as high treason!

"Calm down. He would end up looking silly if he didn't make us wait for even a few moments."

Even if I could understand the reasoning behind Jan's words, wasting my time in those uncomfortable clothes while waiting to be allowed inside the chamber was still an annoying pain in the ass. 

But that was just one of the quirks of this time. Just like people from my new timeline wouldn't understand how the world worked just a few hundred years later, it was hard for me to comprehend what was so important in making your guests wait after you summoned them yourself!

"Well, he is a King so he can do whatever he wants as long as he follows the protocols."
