No

For the first time since walking out of your carriage, you feel the need to talk. "We come here to talk compensation. We're even willing to consider a REASONABLE compensation. But what you ask proves we aren't dealing with a reasonable man."

Archduke laughed in blind arrogance. "Before you finish saying no, should I remind you that the rumors you hear about me are true?"

Sir Dietrich, "You're claiming that you're going to return to the Kingdom of Frankia. You're a fool if you think you can openly threaten to betray OUR KING and you think we are going to let you just walk away."

The Archduke's eyes widens at the sudden appearance of fifty King's Guards that quickly encircles him and his five guards, and are slowly closing in.

At the upcoming threat, the Archduke's guards reach for their swords, prompting Sir Deitrich to say, "Men at arms, consider your following action because it will define your life. You may choose to side with the treasonous Archduke, and you will share his fate, or you can help apprehend the Archduke."

The Archduke is left flabbergasted as his own guards say, "We are at your command, my King," before taking him into custody.

You know there would be fallout from you apprehending the Archduke. However, you don't realize it would be so soon. Just thirty minutes after you captured him, Prince Louis, the heir to the Kingdom of Frankia and the fiancee to the Archduke's daughter appeared in the Duke's room, shouting, "I demand you reinstate the Archduke at once."

Sir Deitrich answers on your behalf, "Since when does a Prince of a foreign nation have the authority to demand any changes to another nation's Nobility?"

You add to him by saying, "This is an internal issue. Thus, your presence in this manner is not required, nor is it asked for. So you may take your leave."

Prince Louis continued showing his immaturity by shouting, "I will not be leaving until my demands are met!"

Sir Dietrich speaks up, "Prince, you have overstepped unless you claim that the Archduke and this land are still under your domain, which would be an act of war."

Prince Luis replies, "How dare you throw around the threat of war?"

Sir Dietrich retorts, "From where we stand, it is you that are threatening us with war."

Prince Luis scoffs, "Fine, then you may take it as such if my demands are not met."

Prompting you to laugh, "He threatens us with war if we keep him in power, and you threaten us with war if we don't. So it's war either way; at least this way, Lothelsabourg troops will fight for us. So you now WILL RETURN TO YOUR KING AND TELL HIM YOU DECLARE WAR ON US. Unless you wish to fight to wish the war to start with your blood dirtying this carpet beneath me right now."

Prince Luis scuff into the cold air but he finally takes the hint and stomps through the main door.

After a long day full of threats and diplomatic action, you quickly retire back to Lothelsabourg's castle's royal chambers for what you hope is a long, calm, uneventful, relaxing afternoon. However, your hopes are not met as fifteen minutes later; your relaxation is interrupted by a feminine mock on the door. You hope that you just imagine things, so you wait for a second and third knock before you finally give up and call out, "Enter And be quick about it! Your King has already had a long stress full day!"

Enter walks Lady Beatrix, wearing a white lacy Maternity dress.

Even more of a surprise was that just an hour after the Prince left, Lady Beatrix, wearing a white lacy Maternity dress, came begging for the Archduke's freedom. The dress looks like it was elegant but also perfectly hugs her round, pregnant belly.

She bows her head in front of you before starting to speak, "I know my King must be stressed from his travel and the busy day he had, So please forgive me for this, but what I request is the utmost urgency."

"Then be on with it so I can go back to resting," She slowly bows her head and says, "My King, I ask... no, I beg that you reinstate the love of my life."

You place your hand under her chin, forcing her to look you in the eyes. "My loyal subject, my concubine, my MOTHER... Do you know he threatens to rebel against me?"

She nods and says, "I have been made aware of such, my king."

Annoyed, you press her, "And because of your previous title, you must be fully aware that the punishment for such an act is a swift and quick beheading at best and a slow, painful **** **** at worst, but yet you still come to me, you last living son, and not only beg for his freedom, but for full reinstatement!"

She tries to look away, but you don't let her as she says, "That's why I come prepared to offer..."

You cut her off before she continues, "Offer what... Your body, I have that whenever I want it, as evidence of your belly. I see nothing that you have to offer that I don't already have."

In response, Lady Beatrix claps her hands twice, and in walks her Lady-in-waiting Sophia, completely nude, with everything exposed except for her two hands covering her pussy.
