I did same but on my second playthrough I killed him personally with death magic and got away with it

I used death magic, I didn't have the charm necessary to pull of a conspiracy.

To tell you the truth I conspired with de la vega so that we would kill the king!

I got him killed by queen, saved luis for another time, have a life mage heir, and ruined the light mage family influence. I'm in the clear (:

I became her trusty little bitch. I aint for the figurehead image. I am more towards being the shadow king that actually gets the important things done. I kept His Highness alive, knowing that it was torturing him that I was banging his wife and producing the first viable heir while his daughter was sold to our neighboring country for the reasons of "peace".

Aren't I just a stinker O:)

I will actually try that
