No, but I had received word that her and my mother locked themselves away with one of the guards in Lily's room.

be really flattering and explain that such brutes have snuck into your home.

kick that pony into gear then

>>526465
bite the pony's neck, and trow the corpse at your enemies!

Ride like the wind!, your horse appears to be a unicorn does it have any magical powers?

The raccoons attacked, and you've fled the castle to ensure your own safety.
Something along these lines I think.

The RACCOONS?! But they just signed a treaty with us but a few weeks ago! Why would they... Maybe King Catalina will know.

Right. Travel montage go. Wake us when you encounter something interesting. Or when you hit a problem.

>>526667
Wake us when you encounter a bumpy road because .. um ... no reason.

>>526667
Wait, weren't you just there watching your father fight raccoons? Why are you suddenly surprised?
Is this King Catalina the father of your Prince? Or mother, sometimes Queens are called Kings in different languages and cultures. You know, because the has a lady name.

The people attacking my family/guards were wearing very heavy armor and I couldn't really tell what species they were. I made this map to show you how our island works.

And I don't understand your question? Catalina is their last name and they named their land after it. It's weird, but Catalina is a small kingdom my father gave to King Catalina a long time ago before I was even born and I don't really understand why because I honestly don't pay much attention to that stuff.

The only thing I really care about when it comes to Catalina is that they made the people who live there very, very poor and they NEED our help! My father has created a sort of Welfare Project for our own poor and We feel like it could really help Catalina if we can get the land back and unite us all.

So, maybe if, um, King Catalina has a few princes to choose from I could help my kingdom by marrying and we could mend and reunite Pytge for the greater good? -blushes-

you should meet the princes first, to make sure they aren't jerks

Lead on princess and we'll make sure you get to ride the royal bean pole of each and every one of those princes!

I think they're referring to the magic bean sprouts that shoot out towards the sky, it's quite the ride, but the way down is a pit of a pain, also beware of giants

Beg them for soldiers to help retake your castle!

>one of the guards approaches Amielle as she slides off Buttercup and walks to greet him.

Guard: Princess Amielle! -the guard bows to her- Your highness! What do we owe the pleasure?
PA: My father's castle is being attacked by the raccoons! I didn't stay around long enough to find out which, but we need help! A lot of guards have taken a few months off to go retrain up northeast! I -must- speak to King Catalina!
Guard: Yes, your highness! Please, come right in.
>>526842
Good idea!

PA: Do you think you could send some soldiers up while I speak to the King?

Guard: Certainly; I'll send a squad over immediately.

>>526790
I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.

>>527271
Well, go talk to the King. And don't think about his beanpole.

Well, that was easy! Surprised a guard has the authority to deploy troops, actually.

Let's see the king.

>>527271
Well, maybe we should conceive a heir soon, as a precaution. Can Princesses have male concubines so their heirs are legitimate at least? Well, if things don't go well enough you might be Queen soon, not to worry you. We want to save real marriage for alliances in the middle of wartime.

I suppose we're thinking too fast tactically that it's useless. We don't have enough information and a lot of situations can change fast. Just be careful here, the guard only treated you nice because you're a noble from an alliance and that's just what he has to do, okay, maybe he actually likes you but regardless if King Catalina is a plotter he may take advantage of this situation to get control of your lands and get more riches. God forbid the racoons get funds to pay them for the welfare system, then Catalina will definitely go for betraying your father. Unless he was raised to be honorable, but who knows.

Point is, careful. Your kingdom's in a vulnerable situation and there's a lot to gain by fucking your shit up. Catalina's line would even get a valid claim to your lands too if he forced a marriage between one of his children and you if you're actually taken hostage by them.

>>527343

>Well, maybe we should conceive a heir soon, as a precaution

I don't think it would be wise for Amielle to get pregnant before either the situation at home is resolved or she has some sort of protection from an ally. It'd make defending herself more difficult and I think it's likely that raccoons will try to attack her.

>>527355
That's why I said as soon as possible. As in, when it's safe it's possible. We're in wartime and nobles need heirs! Lots and lots of heirs!

>>527357
are you drunk again?
Heirs only work via the male bloodline!

>>527271

You know, I'm not sure I do either.

What a nice guard that was!

>>527384

It depends on Ptyge's succession laws. They might have equal primogeniture, in which women inherit on equal terms with men. They might have semi-Salic Agnatic primogeniture, in which inheritance is traced through daughters only if a king has no sons (which appears to be the case). Or they might have full Salic Agnatic primogeniture, in which succession can never be traced through women and, on the death of the king, the kingship would end up with one of Amielle's uncles or male cousins.

Go on in, but look around you and keep your sword close at hand. It's not impossible that the rulers of Catalina are involved in the ambush somehow.

Does Ptyge or Catalina have a navy of any kind? You could try to find out where the ambushers landed on your island and wreck their ships out of spite.

I got in because I lived there of course, heh heh.

Well for Felines, anyway, the heir is the first born no matter what sex. My mother married into royalty, so like, he's in control and she's kind of like Leonidas's wife.

>>527355
Um. No. No kittens for a while. Besides, even if mother and father die and I take over and get killed, I still have like 4 younger siblings. ALSO like, those Royal dudes that help you out while you're still new. There most likely won't be a problem.

Sword is sheathed, but seriously, we are very friendly with King Catalina. For the size of his army vs. ours, it would be a ridiculous move to attack us.

>>530660
Not when you yourself are under attack! Maybe it was a coordinated move to betray you.

Anyway, commence diplomacy.

>For the size of his army vs. ours, it would be a ridiculous move to attack us.

Then how are they supposed to help with baddies who kicked your butts? Logically, if Catalina couldn't stand up to you, he can't stand up to your attackers.

We all know what happened the last time you got all excited on your way to see the princes. At least this time you have some armor.

Don't curtsey if you're already sitting at the table. The proper etiquette when ordered by the queen to sit before the king does, is to look up at him like a deer caught in headlights.
