Oh, and for this plan, two things:

We should ask Dagger for some money seeing as how saving the world as of yet has not been paying well, and we should have this outing later in the day when it isn't so crazy hot outside.

That way we have time to do the council meeting, check up on things, and all that, and still devote at least half the day (hopefully more) to Raital.

>"And good morning to you, Raital."
Mudy snuggles up to her. She's warm and soft and so inviting.
>"I see you've finally gotten your nose under control."

Raital sighs contently as she gently presses Mudy against her.
>"A-after last night.. Mudy.. I feel like we've gotten so much closer."
, she replies.
>"I.. I feel so at peace with you.."

Mudy closes his eyes again and relaxes. The two stay silent in eachother's warmth.


>"What would you like to do today?"
, Mudy finally asks. He remembers Totenkopf and Darkmoon Dagger's wedding was planned for today.

>"Anything you'd like to do, Latral."

Also, we ought to get out and about with Raital in our free time, but riddle me this. We had three wishes. If Raital is calmer and time has been reversed, it is definite that one has come true, and the other may have as well, unless it is related to our showing her affection. Which is left? A third wish must still have been granted, no? We should consider what it could be, of our many considerations, and prepare for it accordingly.

Mudy ponders for a moment, then confidentially strides over to the center table. He takes the one remaining seat.
Across the table, princess Darkmoon Bolt, the eldest, begins to speak.

Rapier of Halberd... Halberd will be better in the longterm. But Rapier is cleary the better military mind, and we need that above all or there won't BE a longterm. I say we pick Rapier.

Forgot to mention: If they object to you breaking the sacred diadem, explain:

"This diadem represents Firewater's founder, the Queen Empress' authority. But the Queen Empress is no longer here; Firewater cannot cling to the past forever, seeking the protection of ancient heroes. Instead, she has passed that authority down to all of you. Just as each of you represent a different facet of this authority, so should each of you carry a piece of this diadem."

And then make THEM break it.

'If true unity among the royal family is to be had, I have a suggestion.

Rather than give the crown in perpetuity to a single individual, instead, it could be a temporary affair. By this, I mean that the royal family would vote among itself as to who should hold the crown. After a given amount of time, perhaps a decade or so, the crown is once again voted to a single member of the royal family. And to prevent abuse of power, if at any time all the other family members believe the one currently possessing the crown is abusing the power it bestows, then a unanimous vote by all the other royal family members would remove the crown.

Think of it: to possess the crown, you would have to gain the trust of the other family members, and to gain the support of enough of them, you would have to have the interests of Firewater and the people at heart.'

If this goes over alright...

'However, now is a time of conflict, and we must act decisively to stop the Skullking. To that end, I suggest that the crown goes to Prince Darkmoon Rapier first, as his military prowess is ideal for ensuring the future safety of Firewater at this time.'

IF, however, the plan for how the crown is used is NOT recieved well, I vote for Stiletto.

"Esteemed princes and princesses,

I have had much time to consider this choice. I hold the power to choose who leads this country, and I know the importance of my decision. It occurred to me along the way that I could pick someone who's views I agree with, who would make my overall goal easier. This would obviously be in my best interests... but not in the best interests of this nation.

Divided, we fall, together, we succeed. The whole is more than the sum of its parts. These sayings, though cliche, hold truth. Instead of cutting off and promoting one of the limbs, I instead have decided that the whole body should act in unison.

Tell them to vote each year for one to be the ruler, with an unanimous vote from the other 4 being able to change this before the next year if needed, and if at some point the 5 of them could agree on who should inherit the crown, then so be it. The Queen Empress would've preffered it this way, she always intended for them to work together, instead of a single one ruling.

No. 16485 ID: da5997

Seriously though, give it to Stiletto. His promotion of arts and culture will secure the backings of Katana who will appreciate the peace the arts hope to achieve, and the backing of Halberd, who will support the economic growth associated with an increased expansion of cultural growth and support. The focus on the arts will allow Bolt to focus on the heritage and contribution of Dark Elves to the society of the world as a whole, and promote that to friendly nations as a trade-emmisary.

Stiletto's stance regarding slavery will allow more citizens to enter the free market and the flow of commerce; which will provide a larger base from which to draw the army that Rapier and Dagger will be raising to defend this artistic and cultural mecca.

I don't think Stiletto's the ideal choice. I suspect he might use too much money on luxuries for himself. I also don't think he's someone who would actually WANT the responsibility.

And I think at the moment of time the Dark Elves need a military mind. Givwe Rapier the military but be ruled over Stiletto and I think we might get a civil war.

Mudy sits down.
>"I put you all in charge, now that you have learned the importance of working together. I trust that you realize the weight of your positions, and are willing to take charge and carry out the duty you've been charged with. I have the utmost faith in you."

The entire room erupts with loud cheers and praise.
Outside trumpets spontaneously sound. Mudy can hear and feel the entire city celebrating.

Actually, it is very important.

This is psychological. Not only for the royal family itself. That is important to as it solidifies their will to lead as one rather than dragging their feet hoping someone takes the responsibility.

But it makes them legitimate co-rulers of the dark elf kingdom. No one can dispute their right to call shots.

Amidst all the celebrations, Darkmoon Rapier announces the marriage of his daughter and Totenkopf, and that the wedding will take place today.
Another series of cheers erupts. This day of celebration will be going down in history.

Raital runs over to Mudy from the VIP crowd and gives him a warm hug.
>"I'm so proud, Latral!"

A servant also approaches him, appearing much calmer than the surrounding crowd.

Kuhral is the second Blutjaeger. She is POWERFUL. More powerful than Raital, even.
That means she can kill Raital. And because Raital has more HP than the strongest Darkmoon, that means she can probably take out everyone in this room.
Tell Raital to hide. We don't want anything to happen to her, and Kuhral is after her, not us.
Ask the Darkmoons if we can have a couple guards, but don't expect them to be able to do anything. It's PURELY for the look of the thing. We need to be confident.

...Well, Raital can't defeat Kuhrahl without a great deal of luck, and bringing enough people to give a good chance of being able to beat her would likely destroy Firewater.

So, lets do what we always do: use diplomacy.
Lets go with a couple guards (ones who have survived a few campaigns and know when to duck, if possible) so that we appear formal, and go meet her.

But lets wear a robe or something, so when necessary we can reveal our sexy clothes to confuse her.

Something else to consider is that we might want to take this moment to make a dramatic exit - we don't want to get Kuhral into town, and we really don't need to confront her. We know what she's here for - she wants to off Raital and Mudy. She's also more powerful than us.
