Pain & Progress| Duke Guifré The Hairy Roleplay #6 | Ck3 Fate Of Iberia

Iberia ravaged by the bloody tides of four kings and sultans, dukes and emirs adversity makes for strange bad fellows my friend, and you must treat carefully if you are to decide the fate of iberia. I, the hairy, have some work to do the numerous plots against my wife, and i are only proof that i am doing things right. We are building a legacy in our children that will hopefully be seen far and wide for decades to come, and i will be eternally grateful to spend the rest of our lives together. Building that legacy further. Unfortunately, our coffers are meager and our foes are many. Yet. My nemesis is imprisoned in my cell and my newest friend and ally, emir yusuf. Ibn zakaria has given me hope that this iberian struggle can hold peace as well as war. Let us hope that stays true, because we have some work to do hello, everybody. This is havoc and welcome back to our crusader kings 3 role playing session as guifra the harry. Now i hope i'm saying that correctly believe it or not. I did do some research before i started this play through and joffrey was the only explanation, the only pronunciation that i could find, that was an audible or a phonetic spelling. It appears, though it is more of a guipra, and i hope that that is the case. Thank you for pointing that out and if i am pronouncing it correctly, please let me know or give me some pointers towards that direction. Uh. But yes, i do appreciate that and hopefully i'll be able to remember that, considering that our son is also named guitar, so give me a little bit of patience, a little bit of leniency as i work on that uh, but on to the other things. Of course, if you enjoy any part of this video before we begin be sure to give it a like subscribe to, the channel turn on bell notifications and comment. Uh just wanted to let you know that you can also financially support the channel by becoming a youtube member or a patron, or even just purchasing something from my nexus store. I am currently working on uh infiltrating the patron names and the youtube member names into the game. I'M still trying to figure out the nuances of that that seem natural, so uh. The support is obviously greatly appreciated and i will get you in there one way or another now back into role to take on the persona of guitar, the harry as duke of barcelona. I i cannot help but feel extremely blessed blessed in a wonderful wife, an antha uh duchess, antha and birthing six children, all of whom i'm immensely proud of already, all of whom are immensely smart way smarter than their father ever could be, which is probably one of The best dreams that a father could ever have, but not only in anthem but in my courtiers in my subjects in my vassals, many of whom have given fantastic advice. Now there are some things that i wish i could do. Oh do. I wish i could do them. One of those is, oh goodness, gracious counselor. He is currently in my dungeon now i would love to revoke his titles and take it back as my own. I i think we have the ability to do that the cause, but we don't have the crown authority in which to pursue it. However, if we look here, we can see that his primary heir is elisinda de barcelona, which is the daughter of counsunyard. Now i have nothing against this two-year-old. This is not within my capacity to modify. However, i can do whatever i need to to him, one of those being torturing. Now i can do this, i might discover a secret if he has one. I lose an immense amount of stress because i'm vengeful this is perfect. I gained 27 dread. Now i spend 100 piety to do so, but that's okay. This is exactly what i need to do to squeeze countsunyard dry and hope that we can learn something, but also just just get them where it hurts. Now. The only side effect is that close family members will lose 30 opinion for 20 years. That mean that his current heir, his daughter she'll, be about 22 before she gets over this slide now that doesn't mean that i can't sway her that i can't pursue other means to ensure that she wouldn't rebel, but nonetheless it's something that will happen. We'Re going to go ahead and do it we're going to go ahead and torture him so we'll see what torturous things pop up. But there was another thing that i thought was fantastic as well: king, charles, the bald of west frankia. We are currently in his court as uh as a council member as a marshal. Now. I really hope that i can do this without any issues. We'Re gon na resign from the council, which is gon na, hurt us just a little bit, but then i'm gon na modify my vassal contract. I'M gon na end up giving him we're gon na do a high levy contribution. Now that is a significant boost. It'S a 35 boost, but we're going to get council rights. My main reason for doing this, one of the best ways that i can ensure that i make money to develop my kingdom, which is what we sorely need to work on in this time of peace, is to become the king's steward. That gets me a significant salary. One that i can use to further the kingdom in the best of ways so we're going to modify the vassal contract. We gain council rights. Now i wonder if i can't demand a council position. Look at that two gold. A month my domain taxes increase as well. Uh construction costs go down. My stewardship experience actually does increase a little bit as well. We'Re gon na demand that council position. I cannot be fired for 25 years, i'll be 65 by the time i lose my way now, assuming king charles, the ball dies. We can do the same exact thing, but look at that. We have gone from point three to 2.3 in the space of a mere council contract renegotiation. Now, of course, we do have a fair, a few other things to get rolling for one barcelona still has not developed its control significantly enough. Yet i'm wondering if i shouldn't move my capital here once we do that, simply to reaffirm our position that we are in fact in barcelona uh, but i think uh. We have barcelona and then uh pilar's justa, which was taken over during the count sunyar rebellion essentially, and so it is losing control not to mention we were in debt for a while, which doesn't help, but i think overall, these two things alone get us off to A fantastic start and we are in a position, i believe at some point in the future, to utilize enmire yusuf, even zakaria of toule tula in our position to try and assert our authority, we're going to have to figure out what to do. But i'm going to keep this moment of peace close for as long as i can and just build up my kingdom. Why complicate matters? There'S nothing like the good old wreck when the drailer hauls count soon yarn to the room. His eyes are immediately drawn to the big wooden frame. Please, no, please i'll tell you anything. You want to know. I i i have intimate relations with lady mayor valencia, lady mayor valencia, you spymaster you, i guess it takes one to no one. This is quite the plot twist. It was lady, mayor valencia, who revealed the schemes against my wife, the schemes against myself. Could it be that counsunyar was whispering sweet little nothings in her ear? Does this make lady mayor valencia, a traitor or my savior? We could learn account signiar's lover secret and if so, we get recently tortured for five years, which is a major penalty. He gains 175 stress and there's a five percent chance that he could gain lunatic. Absolutely we're going to twist this as hard as we can still not certain, yet if valencia is for good or for otherwise, but i'm going to go with good, considering how much she's done for us so far major penalty, severe penalty, there is no way he survives Long enough in this thing, there's no way. Ah i don't understand how someone so weakened, who just been tortured, was able to escape, but count sunyar has escaped my dungeons. Is this lady valencia's doing i can't get it out of my head? Oh, that secret was undoubtedly better for us, but now every single action surrounding counsunyar or lady mayor valencia has me wondering: was this intimacy for information or was it true? Was it true love? This is causing me more stress than i want to admit. I think the only thing that we have to do here is we have to hit him where it hurts. We have to try and do our best to simply we're going to challenge the rival to a fight under the cline. He would actually spend prestige. I would gain prestige, we have to try it, it will weaken him even further. We have to he refused my challenge, so i gained some prestige. He lost it and, while waiting for his response, emir and muhammad i've been corresponding with your chancellor, i must say: i've come to see you in a new light. Perhaps you are even someone one day. I could be proud to call a friend. Sorry we're not going to do that. Oh we're not going to what else i have to. Could we abduct him? Of course it wouldn't work. We could blackmail him now we do if we expose it there, we go. Let'S expose the secret that will cause us actually we'll hold on to it. No we're gon na expose it. Unfortunately, that's not enough for me to be able to do this. That'S okay! That'S! Okay! Now i can lawfully imprison her. I think we'll just leave it alone. For now now normally i would try and imprison her, but i need her. Her 19 intrigue just goes well beyond a few moments later. There are nonetheless several people who might be mourning the loss of count sooner, i'm not one of them a curse. Undone the twists and turns of fate have not always been to my advantage. God knows. I was cursed the day that i met counselor my cousin today, however, the curse has been lifted fade has smiled upon me, brought that two-faced knave to his grade. That'S a grave, not one day too soon. Now that leaves his daughter. Who, of course, doesn't quite like me, however, we can't even sway her because she is a child. Could i imprison her? I wouldn't have a reason to there is nothing that would benefit me. However raymond, who is my court physician ammonite? I actually believe he is my brother. No, he is not uh. We should be able to marry using the hook now he's 42, which is a little bit weird, i i will admit uh, but we're gon na. Do this we're gon na use a hook. Nope, okay, wow! That'S a lot of no thank you thank yous uh. We can sway her one day. We'Re gon na pin her to everything right there, which is going to keep her in my tabs and we'll see how things rumble, but for now we just have to know that elecinda rosseo doesn't quite like me, we'll have to deal with her when we can. It seems my best friend wants to challenge me to a friendly game of chess, even emir yusuf. If we win lose 10 stress and miriam will gain 19 opinion. Now, of course, in emir yusuf will gain 19 stress. We will lose uh quite a bit more uh. Yes, let's go ahead and do it the greatest game chest the mirror. Yosef is already waiting to begin. Our little chess match say a sat waiting with a competitive grimace written large across his features we're neck and neck. Neither of us is even close. Of course. We just started for what it's worth win or lose says my best friend there's no one in the world. I'D rather play chess with. Indeed now he does have quite the diplomacy, the marshall and the intrigue. Hmm i've read the entire manual on chess. Our match marches on use of continuing with a variety of cunning, faints employees. My techniques cunningly foil, my opponent, we're neck and neck. Neither of us is even close, don't feel bad, we free gui. We can't all be this naturally talented. Let'S do this and chess intrigue is countered by learning our match. Marches on use of continuing with a series of devastatingly innovative strategy plays. Naturally, my techniques continually foil. My opponent, i'm in the lead now and victory, is so close that i can taste it damnation chuckles. My friend, you don't ease up a chest for anyone. Do you? My marshall makes me unbeatable with a roar of triumph, fights surged to my feet, scattering pieces everywhere. This game of chess is mine. Another fine victory on my indisputable rise towards the role of king of games. A desolate yusuf remains seated hands on his haunches trying to comprehend where he went wrong, yeah just good game, absolutely good game. My coffers are finally beginning to fill bringing in four and a half gold a month which quite honestly, isn't too terribly shaggy, which isn't too terribly shabby now ergell is the one that is obviously bringing in the most, and we can only influence that more now. I have a wide range of choices, but i do think having hill farms is going to be the best thing right off the bat for that and then perhaps with barcelona, we'd be able to do farm and fields. Potentially, i'd rather get the trade port to be completely honest, but it is a rather significantly large investment guess we will have to see what the future holds for us in the immediate first, it was nemilda, and now it's maria. I was given grave news. My daughter's fallen ill with consumption. The future is uncertain, death lingers close by her bedside, yet she might survive. Only god knows the physician wants to know how my daughter should be treated. If we were to be cautious, a safe treatment might lessen symptoms. Has few risks time has come for drastic measure, my daughter you're only eight you're going to be cautious. Don'T you mess with me raymond? Oh no. Maria gained an aggravated wound. For one year moderate penalty. The consumption will rack her entire body. Oh stay alive. My child stay alive for as long as you can, we were so close to having an extended period of peace, but i received a message via a very desperate and tired messenger, from my ally, old, emir yusuf, even zakaria to the implicable guifer. I call on you to honor our alliance and join me in the uh tula tula clash against the sheikhdum of khalid rabbah. I believe this would actually be quite beneficial for us. He probably doesn't actually even need my help, but we will definitely accept absolutely bring them into war. Please, our men are ready. Let us take a look at the war goals and everything that is needed in there, the sheikhdum of khalat. We may want to go ahead and try and attack that as quickly as possible. Our numbers are actually rather significantly close, and i think if we were to commit a little quickly, we would be able to push our way in. Youssef has already won his first battle. Reinforcements are are coming, they've actually ended up. Turning around the second battle has already convinced my wife. In the midst of a war decide she wants to come to me with a little bit of a monetary question with duchess anthony's, diligent admiration of my household finances. There'S more gold at the end of this season than expected. How should we best put it to use? I think we are going to save it absolutely! Yes, we will save it for now. Well done wife! Now i did not quite realize that i, oh i'm not in it, we are simply on our way two victories in a row and the war score is looking fantastic in our favor. Now my mother imacinda has died as well. I gained 25 stress and yet don't know that that would be true considering to try to have a plot against my wife, but nonetheless, nonetheless, something we have to deal with. We have a patrol between aurelia, dele and me and me tiato and oliva barcelona. Absolutely. I do believe she's got some fantastic characteristics. Unfortunately, she's also a fornicator glad to accept your mayor's proposal, very nice redemption and atonement as well as happiness. Let us get stuck in this. I will contribute as much as i can amir yusuf. It'S too late, you're already in the thick of it. Oh, that was a good reckoning. Let'S go capture their base, their main area. While we can, we will bring in our reinforcements. They don't stand a chance and we're gon na. Let this siege run its course. They keep throwing men at us and it's not working 100 more score already. That is apparently not enough. Let'S go support our allies awesome. We won the war led by emir yusuf, ibn and zakaria against sheikh abdul muhammad. You will seize all territory within the realm as part of the sheikhdom of a prophet wait. I will. I don't think i will no, i think, we'll be fine all right. Let'S disband all that was a quick and simple war, one that i'm proud to have been in and one that actually has funded enough to be able to push into different areas. We will absolutely do the trade port there. Ah, mayor valencia, the latest work of my spymaster has become all the rage accord. Peace deals with success. Growing greatness and valencia has publicly dedicated it to me. The spears song, where other men speak silver words, our hero himself and iron girds. His subject proved grateful for they are for, if they are not, then next to their doors, his sword brought so far. I kept my mouth myself. The buzz has grown too dramatic. This is truly heartfelt. Absolutely absolutely! No sooner are you playing chess with your best friend mere months ago, then. Suddenly, they're taken from you yusuf is dead. My best and truest friend cut down taken by the cold embrace of death. Before his time i weep. I will tear at my hair in my clothing, but i know i'll never see him again. How how do i go on yosef, dear sweet yusuf? Yosef would want me to, and i have hope that his memory can sustain me through these dark times. But life seems like a candle without a flame. His death has overwhelmed me with torrential grief. He was always there for me. I didn't expect his death to be easy, but nidhiko had imagined it being this hard. He was always ready to cheer me up. Help me out of the tight spot without my recent troubles. His absence is especially noticed. We are at a stress level too. We could become a drunkard, we become an apathetic frozen grief, absolutely not we will become inapathetic, we would lose 30 stress which will help us. I think another thing that might help is: we need to hold a call. A hunt gain famished. Famish is not what i want to do. We'Re going to call a hunt. We could lose 36 stress, let's go ahead and risk it for a biscuit and see if we can't reduce some stress poachers here in the dukes woods they huddle together, as i ride up with my guards, making a poor job of hiding the dead heart behind them. We did not do this your mercy, their blades and bows belie their words. If we get punished poachers popular opinion goes down, but holding taxes go up. We could get two more prowess with poacher training. The animal is mine, along with fines for their lives. Let'S you all seem to be excellent. Bowman, let's use it for our advantage. The hunt is drawing to an end. We mount our horses to leave the hills behind as the servants prepare the heart and other game for the journey back. In spite of our difficulties, the hunt went very well, it reduced it a fair amount with enough grief on my mind today. I believe we will call my story at an end for this chapter, but we will do a couple of things, for one tarragona actually looks to be quite the wealthy wealthy place. Now, admittedly, he is under a sheik aid of taragona himself, but i think were we too fabric any claim? It would go by quite speedily and we would also allow us to begin our claim on the cerecusta. Unfortunately, syracusta is uh allied to emir ayub, the heir of my best friend who just died. Unfortunately, for him he is ill. It doesn't look like he will last too long, and i can't imagine i would want to that. I would want to pursue anything along that route. Now now i do believe that's his brother, we'll have to keep a very close eye on tule tula. Now that my best friend has died one. So i can overcome the grief, but two, so i can see how i can potentially foster a new relationship, but on the condition that emir, muhammad, ibn al-wahad syracuse, is unable to maintain the alliance upon the potential death of the new air. We should be able to have a way forward on that front. Everything else is looking relatively okay. We are making a huge sum of income and it's only going to increase as i finally wrestle control back into my own arms, but development has begun across the board. We are working steadily to try and increase everything that we possibly could and honestly outside of uh. My vassal still not being able to do anything with her, nothing that i would want to do. I should say: uh life isn't too great, losing my best friend really really cut to the bone. Sure i could find a new best friend, but those don't come around, but potentially once a lifetime, maybe twice - and i did have a friend before this within my brother - hopefully the day - will turn something new in the next chapter of my journey. But for now it ends on a rather sad note and with that rather melancholic end the end to the episode. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for hanging out with me today.
