you have a plan

You intend to become the new Esteran king, but to do that, you need either political acumen or an army large enough to take and hold Falkirk.

An army of that scale would be near impossible for a man to build, and even then, feeding that many troops would require money that you simply do not have.

Although, you could travel the nearby villages, speaking to the people in secret, in search of those who might fight for your cause. That said, this tactic, if executed poorly, could result in discovery by the Esteran military, and your subsequent ****.

To acquire political acumen you would need to gather information on the major Esteran nobles to use as leverage, and as a man, and a lowborn one at that, you simply do not possess the means to do so.

However, you do possess someone who is woman and noble both. you could send Kyra to act as your agent, gathering information and reporting back to you. That said, your trust in her is far from absolute, and even if she doesn't betray you, it would be difficult for her to get word to you without raising suspicions.
