Sad thing is from what I recall that was a side effect of Saving the Elves and his own peoples asses from another race.

He killed a lot of the local spirits in the Holy Land I think, that was why the Elves exiled him. That is also why the Holy Land is ruined, they may of had a Wind Stone crisis of their own, just better handled.

Then when his people were exiled he conquered Halkeginian. To do so he wiped out large sections of the local spirits so that way his enemies were a lot weaker.

Then he finds out about the Wind Stone Crisis and decides to solve it by teleporting his people to earth, but he lacks the MP to do so. He decides to ritually sacrifice 1/2 of the remaining Elves to do so.

So his familiar, Sasha kills him to prevent him from doing so.

6000 years ago Brimir fucked up.

I gripped the Baton and brought it up in her direction, my eyes glaring at her even as she grabbed it, and most primly dropped it on a nearby pillow that a servant held up by her side. The servant bowed profusely as he walked away with it. Isabella's smile was warm, as if she had just done me a great service. Near her throne, a smaller one had been prepared for me to sit. I did not yet rise, because apparently another servant had drawn near in the meantime, a crown of silver and decorated with jewels ready to be propped upon my head with the deft hands of Isabella.

Not sure if anyone remarked on this yet, but in the chapter where Joseph abdicates, Isa gave henry her crown. Somewhat redundant to have henry be given a second crown without removing the first

Anyone wonder since Tristain's campaign failed, and Wales is dead Henrietta has to proceed with her marriage. So since she is the wife of Lord Albrecht, she will try to influence the Germanian emperor to pressure/attack Gallia or kill him and do it herself. Pretty sure the girl can do revenge comparable to Isaisa's ruthlessness.

And since Tristain is now Germania, the de la Valliere now sit on the same table with the Zerbts. Karin now sit with her long time enemies and the Germanian nobles with their boogeyman. Man, that must have rankled.

Last I remember is that the Zerbst do not get along with the current Emperor

So he is walking on a thin line risking Coup D'eat if he is a dick to Tristanians

She does not have nearly the competence or the political pull to get Germania into a major war. This is not a equal partnership, Tristain is suborning itself to a larger nation for protection.

What's that sound? Oh, time for me to bitch again about this story! Because I've got nothing else in my life. Help me.

I understand that Isabella is a total psychopath who couldn't give a rats' ass about the commoners, but this is just really fucking silly how bad it is. Does she have no fucking clue how her country is based on the backs of the work those commoners do? Does she think money grows on fucking trees? Even if it very well might (fucking magic), you can't exactly spend it if no one's alive to take the damn stuff!

Why can't Henry sit Isabella down in a room and just explain to her, in a very simple fashion so her idiot-ball affected mind can comprehend it, that commoners actually do have some more worth than their weight in flesh, and that leaving an entire country to starve pretty much destroys whatever value that country might've had to Gallia.

Yeah.

Technically the Vallerie's and Zerbts are distant family (they have exchanged blood a couple of times), the rivalry is born more from being given the task of being the border defenders of each of their countries.

Yeah Zerbts women do seduce the men Valliere women tend ro fancy, but Zerbts women also seduce Vallerie' men. We have no examples of Zerbts men doing the same to Vallerie women, but its possible that has also happened.

Depends. Does Henrietta have access to an elf, or was that Joseph?

If there is an elf around a lot can be done without blaming Henrietta.

Will still likely have a war break out though, upstaging them at the end and killing Wales ensures it.

I'm pretty sure Tristain and Germania remain seperate and are merely ruled in a semi-personal union. WoG on Henry keeping Valliere lands and being Prince-Consort was that Valiere lands are still part of Tristain no matter what.
Basically HRE-tier bordergore.
 
Now what I'm wondering is, what will Henrietta's reaction be if/when she find out that Wales is still alive, doubly so of this happens after she starts a meaningless war against Gallia.

You know if Isabella dies of childbirth, then Henry becomes prince-regent....of course how that would affect Henry...

I dunno, she IS a yandere. And has just expressed how horrible it would be if she died and had to go on to the afterlife alone. She might have given standing orders in case of her death to have him sent to her ASAP. Out of love.

Yeah, as much as I love Isabella, she is getting a bit annoying with the "who cares about peasants, let them die" thing. But more then that, HENRY is annoying because he has had the perfect opportunity to explain along the lines of "That's what the king of Albion said, and that got him the Reconquista." I normally complain about dragging modern values into fantasy settings, but in this case, keeping your peasants alive and at least reasonably happy is a vital part of surviving as a ruler.

Omake - Be At Peace

    • Trying my hand at an omake, don't mind me.

    ----Be at Peace----

    It could be stated that in some form or fashion, the Reconquista has always existed. Not always in the form of a rebellion backed by commoner and noble alike, but in the form of angered bar conversations, in meetings in alleyways where sedition bred; even in the hallowed halls of the nobility did words of malcontent grow. The Reconquista could have happened at any time, had the right connections been made.

    But one day, they were. A commoner with desires to cast aside mere kingship, spitting on the thrones bestowed by the Gods and Brimir and rise as the Emperor-Commoner of Albion, had reached out by chance and struck an accord with some like-minded nobility. Between alliances and recruiting of more like-minds, the group grew into the mighty Reconquista. With a decisive strike, they lashed out, battling the Loyalists at every turn, and in time they had slain even the King of Albion in the halls of Newcastle. Victory had been achieved, and there was much rejoicing... but the Gods were swift to show their displeasure.

    Misfortune fell on the forces of the Reconquista, happening so swiftly and so bizarrely that none understood, but in their hearts they did. They quaked in their boots, knowing in their hearts that the Gods were striking them down for their hubris, and some even whispered that the legendary Familiars of the Void had come to strike them down. Key figures in the army vanished, were struck down, or seemed to fall on their own swords overnight, causing the loyalties of their beasts and mercenaries to sway. It was at this moment, the Emperor-Commoner of Albion decided to repent, and beg for forgiveness to the Gods.

    It was Brimir who showed mercy.

    Gallia, truly the most blessed of the Kingdoms, had offered peace. It's very own Prince-Consort striking the accord that folded Albion under its territory, releasing the people of Albion from the faltering rule of the Reconquista, and sparing them from the might of the Tristain-Germania alliance. In short order, the Reconquista had ceded control over the lands to the Gallian Army, the Tristain-Germania alliance left, and all seemed to be at peace.

    But the seeds of malcontent are hardy indeed; Ever still, in the bars and alleyways people spat angry words, claiming that they merely traded one dictator for another, citing the incompetence and failures of the nobility for their woes. Many held fear in their hearts, worrying that the army might ransack their villages, or that they would starve to death as the nobles ate their fill and more.

    But it was not to be.

    The Crown- no, the Prince-Consort of Gallia saw to it.

    Where the masses feared starving, all goods, food the least of which were given at a fair price. Where they had feared poverty, work was offered. Where they feared freezing or the dark of night, warmth and light were given. Where no hope was thought to be found, it came in the form of the Gallian banner.

    For the first time in a long while, there were no angry words in bars. No seditious discussions in alleyways, or grumbled grievances against the Crown. For the first time, in a long time, the Reconquista was truly gone.

    For the first time in a long time, Albion was at peace.
