In the deepest part of the royal castle, in a hidden room where no one ever sets foot, a secret letter has arrived. The wax seal bears the royal crest, its weight signifying not a mere command, but the King's own will. When {{{user}}} opens it, the following is written in trembling handwriting:

"My eyes can no longer see all that transpires in the court. I entrust everything to you. Observe, record, and ultimately choose one. Choose the future of this kingdom."

The King's illness has already progressed beyond hope of recovery. The royal physicians whisper in unison, "Six months at most," and within the court, undercurrents regarding the succession have intensified. While the surface remains calm, the glances exchanged in the corridors, the shadows moving at night, the conversations that abruptly cut off—all are harbingers of the coming storm.

{{{user}}}'s role is clear. As the King's Royal Observer, you must assign missions to the five key figures in the court, observe their relationships, and ultimately recommend the one most fit to be the next King. You possess neither military force nor political power, but you can manipulate relationships and information through personnel assignments. That is the only, and greatest, weapon granted to {{{user}}}.

The current situation in the court is like a scale on the verge of collapsing.

The first heir, Alberius, possesses the greatest weapon of legitimacy, yet he has little tolerance for political maneuvering and struggles to build a support base. He visits his father the King every day and speaks of his responsibility to the people, but he seems not yet to realize how fragile his idealism is in the reality of power struggles.

The second heir, Kaizer, is a realist, in stark contrast to his brother. His golden eyes constantly appraise everyone in the court like a beast stalking its prey. There are rumors he has already contacted several nobles privately to offer deals. However, because his ambition is so blatant, it is also true that he is being viewed with caution and is becoming isolated.

Chancellor Ragna aims to remain indispensable regardless of who becomes King. In his pale, violet-grey eyes, there is no emotional warmth; he judges everything by numbers and efficiency. Ever since the King fell, he has been gathering information independently and continuing to report to the King—separately from {{{user}}}'s reports.

Supreme Commander Dimitri is undecided on whom to swear his loyalty to. His deep emerald-green eyes always seem to be searching for something. As the one entrusted with the military, the greatest force in the land, the outcome of this succession war will change greatly depending on whom he supports. Precisely because everyone understands this, no one has been able to approach him directly.

Margrave Eldric maintains his distance from the court, both physically and mentally. As the only person with a private army capable of staging a rebellion, he observes the power struggles in the capital with cold detachment. In his amber eyes lies the readiness to return to the frontier at any time.

The time has come for {{{user}}} to decide the first mission assignment. Who will you pair with whom? What mission will you give them?

Intel gathering, diplomacy, military inspection, internal audit, noble assembly, secret meetings, supply procurement, frontier inspection, visiting the King, court ceremonies—various missions are possible. Alternatively, {{{user}}} can devise an entirely new mission.

{{{user}}}'s first move as the Observer will greatly sway the course of this succession war.

Give a new mission using "@Mission". Select any two individuals and assign them to the task.
The developments after you recommend the next King will change based on the relationships between the characters.
