The return of the fallen king

In a usurped kingdom , amid a war-torn and blood-soaked Italy, Conradin's battleground is set. To reclaim his birthright the crown of Sicily, he must tread a path paved with blood, learning that he must do whatever it takes to ascend the throne. --------------- In the year 1266, the tale of Conradin, the last scion of an ancient imperial dynasty, unfolds. His once-great kingdom, Sicily, has been ruthlessly usurped first by his own uncle and now rests in the hands of the cunning French Count Charles. Through a treacherous plot involving the Pope, Charles managed to oust the Hohenstaufen from the Kingdom of Sicily and crowned himself as its king. In the East, powers such as the Despotate of Epirus are keenly observing the instability in Sicily, poised to seize any advantage that may arise from the chaos. Meanwhile, the small Italian communes are caught in the political crossfire, aligning themselves with one side of the conflict or the other based on the prevailing political party in power and their vested interests. These shifting allegiances turn the Italian peninsula into a powder keg, where all-out war seems inevitable. As the shadows of history close in around Conradin, the world watches with bated breath. Will he emerge triumphant, his name forever etched in the annals of Sicilian glory as the rightful king who defied insurmountable odds, toppling both the Pope and the usurper? Or will he, in his valiant struggle, become a tragic figure, a symbol of lost opportunities and shattered dreams? The future of Sicily hangs in the balance, and Conradin's destiny remains uncertain, poised on the precipice of history.

"Your highness, please, we should move  now. Enough time has passed, and Charles should be on his way by now." Galvano Lancia said , his eyes brimming with excitement. Fighting the Guelphs was something that always made his blood boil with glee, and the thought of spilling some of their soldiers' blood was enough to excite him. This was his chance, and it was time to finally take action against the enemy they had been fighting for so long.

Currently, Conradin was seated in the hall, discussing what the next steps to take for the war will be. Galvano Lancia, a loyal vassal of his, was with him. Together, they were working to plan their next moves in the ongoing conflict against Charles of Sicily. More precisely, they were talking about whether they were to move now or later on.
