Secrets of the crown: what kind of ruler was your father?
Greetings, dear people of the realm! π°
Have you ever wondered who the protagonist's father really was? The royal chronicles paint him as a wise and great ruler π The people admired him, the nobles bowed down to him, and the kingdom seemed to prosper under him... But is it really true? βοΈ
The crown hiding dark secrets underneath π
At the very beginning of the story, we see the king and queen riding in a carriage. They open up to each other, confessing their infidelities. The king reveals that he has an illegitimate child that he has hidden away from the palace π
But the queen doesn't have time to reveal her secret... because just moments later, the carriage falls off the bridgeπ₯
After their tragic deaths, you, the only heir, are found in a monastery and brought to the palace π Now you must not only prepare to rule, but also unravel the mysteries of your father's past - and perhaps these mysteries will turn out to be far more intricate than you could have imagined...π€ A great ruler who didn't know how to manage money? π°
Under his rule, the royal treasury was emptied. The only one who saved the state from collapse was a rich merchant Laurent Frassini π He lent huge sums of money, but the king couldn't just take the moneyβπ»
As a token of gratitude, Frassini received the title of baron, lands and the post of Minister of Finance - a rare case of a simple merchant rising so high π
So what was it? A great diplomatic move or a desperate move by a cornered ruler? Perhaps the king really did seek reform and saw the merchant as a new force for the kingdom... but maybe he just had no choice π° Everyone tells you that he was perfect π But then how do you explain his actions? How could he be such a skillful ruler and yet allow financial collapse? And why do so few people have anything real to say about him, other than on-duty praise? π
It's up to you to find the answers to these questions for yourself. And it is possible that they will change not only your view of the past, but also the very future of the kingdom π₯
