Defining CK2 is almost as hard as moving a mountain.

Hmm, we'll here's a quick one but essentially I started out as lowly count within lombardy. I invested almost all of my time in leveling intrigue for a bit, happy to bide my time for a while, get married with some nobody (very young), have a few heirs, and marriage tools.  Soon thereafter, I started my first campaign to power  by assassinating the duke and his heirs at the time whilst also gaining a favorable reputation with the King, and eventaully the Dukedom is granted to me. Here's where it gets interesting, once I become a Duke I set my sights upon the King and start taking out his hairs one by one with assassinations and etc until a single unmarried daughter is next to inherit the throne and then axe the king. I woo her, divorcing my old wife in the processs to get a claim on the throne. We later have a son, whos next in line to the throne, so ofc i assassinate my new wife to have my son inherit the throne. Rule as regent for a good while until my son becomes proper age, then i return to my dukedom knowing one day ill be king again. Dream comes true a few years later as my char dies tryiing to get some arab island nearby, and thus become son. Then proceed to get cucked by another duke and lose a war with Charlemagne : (
