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?

Sir! We are ready!

22nd September 1574

"This isn't good."

Looking at the enemy positions in the distance, I muttered to myself. The inevitable delay that caused my force to take one more additional day to arrive at the scene that initially expected, was just what the Ostros forces needed.

"Sir, should we follow up the original plan?"

Standing at the top of my heavy war-carriage, I continued to observe the fortified positions of the enemy. Given how they set their camp right on the road, I could tell from their lack of preparations against wide flanking that the terrain to both of their sides was untraversable. 

"God, no! They didn't come here to fight us, they came here to sound off our army. Even the spy that we allowed to return to their lands never had the chance to learn about the true extent of what we can do, so it's better if we keep it that way."
