>>5439175>You can afford to wait now, in such comfortable conditions. Let your presence fester within the castle till the mortals are driven to action, on your terms.Maybe not to plan, but you're fine with the efforts of the mortals so far. The better you understand them the better you can rule- ah, help them! And from your interactions before, it should prompt them to behave to your liking rather than petty and aimless squabbling. Having given them a taste of your presence earlier, leave them time for cooler heads to prevail... or chaos to break out, either way it's an outcome you'd rather deal with than indecision.
<span class="mu-r">"You say such sweet things... but please Sir, I can't!"</span>
<span class="mu-s">"You do not belong here, a beauty like you deserves a better life than this! Come away with me, to the south, you would have a good life there."</span>
How scandalous, the things you have to put up with these mortals! In the time spent waiting, through the night you get approached more than once in secret, but would-be suitors. A strapping young knight in service to the house, who actually tries to carry you off with him to elope before you can stop him. Then a visiting member from a rival noble house who offers you a way to escape all this trouble and enjoy a better life with her family, if you'll marry her son. Then finally the steward of the castle who merely offers you better accommodations... with him. Aside of these secretive attempts by others to steal you away, you also are visited by a group of the servants who, being commoners themselves are more aware of your reputation and hold the belief that you can help them with injuries and illness.
It's all quite amusing really, and all from the comfort of your own room! You always have loved mortals, and not just because of your divine nature. They are always a source of fun, and chaos in their unpredictability. In many ways you understand them as only a god can, your divine familiarity with the human condition... and yet, they still always find ways to surprise you. Most of the other gods of the old faith preferred to remain separate of the mortal world, but for you it was hardly a punishment being banished there in the first place.
