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?

Creating a positive disaster

11th June 1574

"What do you mean, it's impossible?!"

Forced to realise that I didn't really have any real court for myself, I was trying to slowly build it with the people I trusted the most, yet just the first meeting of what I hoped to remodel from a simple advisory council into a proper court instantly turned into a disaster.

"If we use paper to make those acts, what will stop anyone from making them by themselves? While minting the coin is against the law, if we could somehow use our production means to create something no one else would be capable of reproducing, it could work way better. The other way to go about it is to start from the bottom."

Hearing Matsu's arguments, I couldn't help but agree with them silently, yet the fact that my idea shattered the second it was put against the reality of the current times still made me quite angry and disappointed.
