Just be practical then: try to become friends with them (even if it means you have to remain chaste and not raise a lot of bastard children for the benefit of the realm) and use their talents in other courts.
Ah... Crusader Kings at its best...Reflecting the "good old days"...
if only my TiVo would record CK games...every night would be movie night! Of course, no one would dare share popcorn...
Why anyone would want to assassinate one of the highly competent, intelligent, honest and trustworthy members of the Rurikovich family stumps me. Oh wait, thinking of another family altogether
My (CK) experience of women from that part of the world bears out this fact - they're all unstable psychopaths.

Wait...he's Finnish! Are the Finnish more mad than the Russian?
Its clearly at least circle IX stuff, just can’t see what can go wrong?”
Love the interplay between Harry and co, and I like the way you're spacing out the conversations between the demons - makes it a lot easier to read. Can't wait to see where this one is going. Will Harry get his wish?
Very nice slight change in pace. Kettu seems as if he'll be a very interesting character. Wait...he's Finnish! Are the Finnish more mad than the Russian
You can't seriously be asking that in this forum
There's a very important precedent to be followed here...
Always Shaft Harry. After all, there is a reason this "rule in Hell" thing never worked out.
Great job with Vlad. Now, let's see how messed up a Finnish king of Finland can be!
Nobody with a goatee like that can be innocent... I mean, murders, wars, that kind of stuff can be explained, justified. But that face muff... There is no excuse, there is no redemption. Harry might finally get lucky, were it not for the important principle Sophilia just pointed out.
Dear oh dear. Who's going to screw it up for Harry?
You have to feel sorry for Harry. Well, sort of. This goatee - I mean, this man is so clearly evil and deserving of Harry's attentions... It can't but go south for Harry.
Even by the high standards set by your previous Rurikovichs, Kettu is one nasty package. I am impressed.
I think I'm overdue a cameo (!)
Kettu has taught me one important thing; avoid holidaying in Finland.
Now that is a nice euphemism!...elliptical view of reality.
[why are you looking pale Harry? Oh nothing, just having a bit of a daydream]
And, to be fair, it sort of got worse after that
