When did I lie?  And it's actually her cousin.  And again this is not 
just a bout you Gloria.

Well, historically that is no the case.

And it's not everyone else fault that you started a rebellion with no 
support what-so-ever and so you had to join a new realm.

Again, this is not all about you Gloria, it happens all over the game.  
It shouldn't happen.  I am not at all saying that I am any better then 
you, but a character who is a king would be seen higher then someone who 
was just a "regular" noble.  Take Svunnetland a few weeks before your 
rebellion.  A few people were trying to say that all nobles were equal 
to the king, and they should be treated the same and insulting the king 
left and right.  It isn't just about what happens to my characters it's 
not just about the consequences that I want.

There are certain things about noble society that goes along with that.  
You may want to play your character your way, but it still has to be in 
the context of the game, which is a noble.
