Regent For The Princess

Being not from the royal dynasty, you gain the rule of the kingdom in the worst possible moment, as it is being attacked by both your rebelous peasants and steppe nomads. Your possessions consist of king's sword and shield, that might help you in battle, and rule over five provinces of the kingdom, four of them under attack or unrest. Kingdom's army is barely enough to defend the central province, which means having to constantly balance and compromise. The kingdom itself mostly consists of lush forests, a large town in each province, and several villages, who you might want to protect. King's palace, where you reside, has several dungeons, where you can imprison those, who you see as a threat, and deal with them as you please. Princess herself might reveal some information about who might be untrustworthy in the kingdom, if asked. She most often travels through the palace and its gardens, surrounded by elite royal guards.
