With his heel pressing into the spine of one of the two assassins, Heinrik Karl, towered over the person he once had considered his aunt. He held a short sword in his hand while shouted for the guards, before he ordered her to be detained and brought to the trial. "Godani.. Saint Emma.. Even though my days of redeeming myself have just begun you're still watching over me. Godani is good."

Heinrik Karl, circa 367, dismissing his Marian knightsafter the self chosen purgatory in in preparation of the Holy Walk. Va Birodeo Herzenav ag Edlervik, For the first time in my time as Koeng, I felt it necessary to write to all of you, beloved citizens, brothers and sisters who fill our Kongzem with vital life, youth and love. When I was crowned by his Holiness to protect and secure the rights of each of you, Godani himself sent a sign. In my youthful spirit and determination I saw it as a symbol to legitimize the will of our omnipotent Godan and his exalted Prophets and saints, but I failed to fully comprehend the entirety of such a complex sign: it was a reminder to be humble; to stay faithful; to stay determined; to not work for myself but for everyone who has sworn their life to me. The divine rights I have been gifted with are not to be wasted and taken lightly. Only by trusting in Godan can I overcome my flaws as a human. By the help of the Mother Church, I was helped to remember my destiny to achieve great things for the Kongzem but also to stay humble and pious. My determination is stronger than ever. the will to please Godani and his will burning passionately in my chest, to reforge the chains I had broken in recent times. To display my good will to become a divine vassal of Godan’s holy will, I have decided that I will not wear shoes, fine robes, eat fine foods or drink alcohol, and indulge in any other luxury, for an entirety of one year. I will allow myself to be cleansed of the remaining taint the Iblees has left on my soul while I continue to lead you, as your Koeng and Leader. I ask you, to pray for me and for the entirety of the Kongzem, so my soul may be cleansed and purified like Horen’s in the Grotto of Gamesh. As ever, we will persist in the light of Godan; for if we do not, we shall perish.

Surrounded by the shadows that were haunting him, Heinrik Karl sat in his office. Crude shadows danced around him, casting their mock upon him. "KiNsLaYeR KiNsLaYeR!" the bottle screeched, only to be deafened as he placed his lips on the bottle. "MaD KoRnG MaD KoEnG!" mocked and hissed the cigarette, only to be silenced as he took another drag of it. "TyRanT TyRaNt!" the reflection of his image in the long dagger whispered and he knew exactly how to silence it...

Books, quills and feather were scattered on the carpet that covered the floor of the Koengs office. With his hands placed upon the now wiped empty desk, Heinrik Karl barked and shouted so the saliva flew out off his mouth. "Find her and bring her to me! I want her alive!" His clutched fist hammered upon the wooden desk that also his father used to work at. The hunt was on.

With a sour facial expression Heinrik Karl packed his miniature soldier figures off his strategy board back into his toy box. "Rubern delenda est.. I guess." he said with a roll of his eyes.

Preparing himself for many headbutts, Heinrik Karl did not forget to bring his football helmet, as he packed for the wedding.

Resting his feet on his desk, Heinrik Karl compared his wood toy dragon and his aengul figure. "Based" he concluded, before banishing the aengul figure into his toy box.

Heinrik Karl sat comfortably in the saddle of his steed while peering over the landscape that layed East of Karosgrad. On his belt hung a lasso and a short knife. The top of his head was protected by a larger ruskan leather hat to shield him from the troll stones which already hat a slight curve in it. While exclaiming the New Marian word for Excitement of the Unknown "Yeehaw!" he head down the hill he was standing in the wilds of Attenlund.

With a cigarette stuck in his mouth and feet on his desk, Heinrik Karl scanned over the contents of the news paper "Do I need to shave woman head AGAIN to finally reappear in this ?!" the young monarch groaned displeased by the absence of content regarding his persona.

Heinrik Karl, Prince Franz's nephew, pointed out that this was a lot in dog years.

It wasn't hard for Heinrik Karl to find a replacement for the previous Lady Palatine. The experiment of bringing in someone new, young and fresh didn't work out as he had planned it. It was not a setback, quite the opposite: a chance, a lesson and an opportunity. Haense was strong, Haense was flourishing. And with Maric by his side, an advisor who has seen many things, Haense would succeed.
