Make sure that the marriage is matrilineal! Otherwise the kids won't be of our dynasty and we'll get a game over when Elodie dies!

Accept the proposal, an alliance makes sense.

Strategy x 3 for classes, to try to get the extra printing press option open. If not, print religious things.

We should wear the magical girl outfit if it's a Lumen run, and let's imprison that murderer fellow.

As funny as it would be to pull the "We lied about being engaged to you to intimidate our enemies, thanks for that, now show yourself out the door!" we want Elodie to survive a game, so we'd better play it safe and piss off as few people as possible.
Let's Accept his offer.

Let's pump up Sense Magic x3. You never know who could be a Lumen. :tinfoil:
They're not wearing Magical Girl Outfits in the open, so it's hard to tell.

I say stick with that plan previously posted about maxing magic stuff in the least amount of time. I forget where we are with that.

Imprison as it's a shame there isn't anyone in the dungeon for us to practice magic on.

For anyone who's voting no to the marriage because of the age gap: as far as I know, Elodie doesn't actually marry anyone during actual gameplay. These are dynastic arrangements to get married eventually, after she's older, and has been formally crowned Queen.

Also, the murderer referred to is the poisoner woman, not the possessed dude.

His wife died, he only gets to rule his country for a little less than a year until his daughter takes over, and he fell into a coma in an alternate timeline where he became a magical girl and magically fought an elf to death.

I think he might be depressed or something.

No, you can't. When it comes to this, just look at whatever one seems to have less votes. In this case, I'd recommend doing resist magic x 3, but it still wouldn't have been enough to change anything.

I would be honored!

Elodie! Your Grace, are you not aware that my daughter has only fourteen summers?

It's my decision.

A betrothal only, of course. There is no need for hurry. You have your coronation to plan for, after all. If I might be of service in any way, please, send for me. I will be happy to offer my protection or advice.

...











You may now tour the Barracks on the weekends. Your skill in Strategy is now 50. You may not increase this skill until your other Military skills are 25 or higher.

Elodie attempts to imprison the woman who attempted murder, but it goes as well as last time.



We can now visit the barracks. Since Elodie is pretty lonely right now, let's do that.





There are approximately ten battalions under your direct command.

Here, like with the treasury in regards to money, we can see how many soldiers we have.







Elodie gets confused about owls and thinks that hospitals are bad for you.





There are approximately ten battalions under your direct command.







You have nothing more to learn about Sense Magic.



Remember that the Festival of the Good Lady is approaching. There will be public celebrations for the commoners, followed by a grand gala for the nobility. As Queen, you would be expected to lead the procession and take part in the ceremonial planting, possibly give a speech. However, since you are not yet crowned, it is not required, and it may not be safe to expose you to the public.

What do you mean, not safe?

Outside of the castle, you are less well protected. If anyone means you harm... Think on it now, decide later. Word has come from the factory for books that you funded. They have assembled enough equipment to begin printing test pamphlets. As their royal sponsor, it is your right to decide the content of the first printing.



Since there is a new option, I need to call for another vote. Should we:

A) Print poetry about our mother

B) Print relgious doctrine

C) Print army recruitment material

D) Yes

Our skills at the end of the week:




We need 2 classes, and a decision about the Festival of the Good Lady. Keep in mind that the classes will be for both weeks 16 and 17.

With the number of fresh recruits following our enlistment propaganda and parade-leading, we are going to need naval strategy at some point, along with logistics. Now seems like a good time for them.

If classic RPG's have taught me anything, it's that you should always put your points into attack before defense. If you have a high defense and a low attack, that just leads to a slow death.

Wield Magic x 2

This Elodie is gonna be all about attacking the problems that come our way, so let's print up some Army Recruitment papers.

Since we haven't seen what happens if we Lead the Parade and Give a Speech, let's try that. I'm sure with only 10 points in Conversation it'll be terrible fine!

As for the outfit, let's burn the magical girl outfit....into our brains forever by wearing it this whole game! Hahahaha!
