However, I don't have time to play with the serfs. Instead I get back to my favorite hobby: killing infants. I've been plotting to kill this whoever-he-is just for fun, but now I have a bigger fish to fry.
I'm of course referring to Roderick of Dunkeld, my newest father-in-law to whose heir I'm betrothed.
I only hope that Sigeric isn't going to ruin my future property in his newest war against Scotland.
It appears Roderick is pretty popular among his subjects. Even gefty bribes won't buy me friends this time, except for a local drunkard who claims he drank with someone called Roderick once 30 years ago. Not good enough.
Well, if I can't do it the subtle way, then a group of thugs armed with swords should be just as effective. Pinocchio and the boys will pay him a visit.
Goodbye Duke Former-Father-in-Law. Welcome Duchess Future-Wife-of-Mine.
To celebrate my success, I decide to grant a little land to my eldest son Benedetto. I'm tired of having him throw rocks at me and crying he wants a pony.
His brother Andrea on the other hand must learn already at young age that he won't get nice stuff in the first place.
As I inspect my family's future holdings in Scotland, I find out that the Englishmen and the Scots are still locked in combat. For being outnumbered 2 to 1, the skirt men fight pretty well.
Andrea follows me and already understands what the fate of the Scots is going to be under my dynasty's rule. That's the spirit, boy!
