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?

Three proposals

15th July 1574

"So let me get this straight, you don't want any money for those generous… gifts?"

After finally ditching all the unnecessary attention of the servants and the lesser nobles living in Zamoyski court, we could finally sit down in one of the chambers and have an open discussion.

"Those are gifts. Who do you take me to expect me to call a price on them? Rather than that, I want those items to serve as the proof of the words that I have for you and your family."

Relaxing in a comfortable chair that most likely was worth its weight in gold, I looked at the middle-aged woman sitting across the table. With her features putting her at most in the middle tier in terms of female beauty, one could wonder how the heck one of the most powerful nobles in the entire country ended up marrying her.
