To the dungeons. I am afraid that if we release the prisoner he will report on our lack of defenses and bring down even more banditry upon us, or worse. An execution could also create a worse reprisal in the future. Just hold him for info for now.

Send him on his way. I feel for this peasant but we can't use the realm's military or gold for one child. If we didn't have Lord Etton's issue it would be easier to send the General, but we do, unfortunately, have larger issues

Send the General for Lord Etton. We can't negotiate with terrorists. If we pay the ransom then more and more bandits and others will attempt to kidnap the children of our nobles. We need to deal with this harshly, not by giving into their demands.

Repair the Theatre. We need a happy populace at this critical time.

The royal daughter will one day be ruling in her own right some day. Let her stay to gain some small experience being around documents et al to normalize them for the future.

We don't have the gold to invest at this point, but can't afford a loan either. No loan and tell the tavern investor to return later.

Invite Ada: She might not have a big army, but maybe she has good ideas. I still hold on to the idea that perhaps we can settle things with the Radovians peacefully. After all, perhaps Beyran isn't such a bad guy.

Send Stan to Investigate: Knowledge is the root of power.

Get Another General: We might need two military operations at once, and if not, maybe he's a funny guy and he and Stan can strike up a comedy duo.

Hire A Band: Flowers and fabrics are good enough, but no party's a real party unless there's some good music. Plus maybe they can provide some stirring battle tunes when we're planning our strategy, get everyone in the mood, you know.

Assuming we can't tell King Dickhead to gently caress off, these options have my vote. However, I must protest this marriage. We can negotiate with these foreigners rather than force our Lord's innocent daughter into a marriage with a probable dickhead. At least let her meet both of her suitors first!

My Lords, Post North is nearest my own holdings, so obviously the general must strike there first.

This innkeep is far too insolent. First we build his inn for him with the realm's resources and then he lies to our face about what he can pay back. We must demand the four gold per week to ensure no other self important yeoman tries to cheat our Majesty.

Your girl must not pursue swordplay, My Lord. No prospective marriage will accept a marriage to a woman so flagrantly boyish. The realm needs a good marriage alliance from her, not a duelist.

Monsters with steel don't exist. This peasant lies to us again. Those, like myself, with holdings near the invaders need the resources more. Send him off

No flowers for now my lord. We need to have them freshly picked, no wilting allowed!

My holdings to the North require a good sweep from our military. If those cads trample my tenant farmers fields, they won't be able to pay rent and so they would starve over winter when I took what they do have. And that would be terrible...

I'd happily take the four soldiers, they may become the deciding factor in winning this game. I'll wait until Pietro's storyline is concluded before I start speaking about the alternative scenario.

I've just started working on the next update. I've just created the week eleven banner and I'm about to work on the opening gif, so I haven't even started the first petitioner yet. I'm definitely aiming to have an update up over the weekend though. With the loan repayments and Stan's wages, we're currently running at -1 gold a week right now. Unless things start to become critical I'll be keeping Stan's services ongoing as we would be worse off if we didn't use him. We do have one village on the map with a quest, but the others and any other random ones that pop up could be beneficial in some unlikely ways.

This woman has the right of it. The city has too small rooms, too small stables, too small gardens and too well paid servants. Give her 25 gold so that at least one family in this realm has a decent place to stay!

If the poor are high, then how will they work? Toss the merchant in the dungeon.

Invite Noaksey for more information, I guess. It shan't harm or help me so I don't really care.

And yes yes buy the supplies. The last few weeks have truly had terrible catering by His Majesty's servants. If we buy more ingredients then at least that's one less way for the PEASANTS to grumble themselves out of working. Oh boo hoo we don't have anything except magic chicken my horse's bum!
