“<span class="mu-i">You</span> are who is unpopular, <span class="mu-i">Signore</span>,” Antonia specified. “The nobility of Crovicci remember well the Black Knight of Gilicia and his assault upon Diamanti, among other acts. You do have friends in the households of Di Scurostrada and Di Zucchampo you might call upon, but I cannot be sure how well these connections have lasted through the years. Though, if you consider it an option, I am sure the Gilicians would be <span class="mu-i">very</span> willing to provide you favors, and since Gilicia has strong ties with the Cathedra in spite of its rejection of the Kingdom, you might find traction with the Church there.”
The Di Zucchampo you knew was quite wizened now, and you’d never gotten acquainted with any member of his family besides Chiara. You rather doubted their extended families would be sympathetic to you at all.
“We could also rest on our laurels,” Antonia said, though only reluctantly, as she required no page reference for this proposal. “Avoid further operations until the end of the year, solidify our position in Larencci further, build up our assets, train militia perhaps…it would mean you could focus on your family more, and the Leagues might appreciate being able to sit still and rest, while also improving their communities. That would not take advantage of the lack of forces opposed to us, however.”
>Move boldly for the west. Interres would be an important economic region to control, and you could either work with the Utopian Front and Red Garden to assuage your past transgression…or try and keep them from becoming more of a problem.
>Crovicci and the north awaited. You’d have the support of the Augustans there, assuredly, and anybody who didn’t like you…well, you had the strength now to simply replace them, didn’t you? The Black Knight was returning to raze the old order.
>Sit and rest for the remainder of the year. You had other projects you could work on-and you had another child on the way. It’d be best to be a homebody for at least a little while.
>Other?
Also, the 2d6 for the Legion. Maybe you’ll finally roll a 6, how hard could it be when it’s a 1/3 chance to get something…
