It was early in the morning and King Hracovec was woken up by his royal roosters.
Royal rooster
He had a dream that night. In which he saw that Dalmatia will become Croatian. The war betweem Veneto and Croatia troubled him. He was drawn into the war by Hungary. Soon he spoke to his military advisors.
-I have a dream where Croats will go swimming in the Adriatic and I want you to make it happen. Take Dalmatia from Veneto. Take back what is ours.
-Yes, my king I will send our army at once – advisor replied – I just hope that Hungary will protect our borders.
-Can’t we protect ourselves? – Hracovec asked
-Well, we could build a new army but I don’t think our economical advisor would like it.
-Then take Dalmatia and don’t build an army. I’m sure Hungary will help us.
-Yes, sir!

Military advisor (MA) enters King’s bedroom to find him doing it with his 4 female lovers (this is just an AAR this isn’t based on historical facts). MA blushed and went outside. The king called him back and asked him to join them, which he did.
After they were finished MA briefed the King about war status.
-Sir, we have initiated a siege in Dalmatia we expect them to surrender in about twelve months
-Twelve months? It will be winter again, I so much wanted to go swimming this summer.
