So my second king died and in his place came a new queen. The king had been on the throne for not even a year when he lost a duel, so understandably people were not happen with not one but two new heirs taking the throne in the space of a year or so, and probably less so with the latter being a woman.
Naturally, a ton of revolts popped up at once, and I didn't have the levies, the funds, or the reliable allies (Croatia was a mistake) to defend my claim. I was downgraded to a duchess, and my cousin took over the kingdom.
I wasn't about to let my kingdom go so easily, so I immediately began to start trying to find ways to take my throne back without money or troops. I tried to make my own faction, but the new king leveraged my homosexuality to discourage me from making factions. Luckily enough, though, my switch to the Intrigue yielded an opportunity to take my king hostage. And, as you can see by the thread title, it worked.
But now I can't do anything I want with him. The aforementioned faction discouragement prevents me from making my faction to pressure him to give me back my throne. And I can't make a plot to take the throne, either, because I already have a valid claim.
So now I'm looking at waiting for the better part of ten years until I can make my own faction to pressure him to give me back my throne. And although we're both young, I can't help but be worried that someone else is gonna snoop around for him.
