This family are financially doing much better than in previous year’s, Tarik moving back to the mountains left his remaining homes to be divided up between the remaining lords and the Baumonts gained Vui and Gary Hiatt a fairly liquid peasant family.

In addition with the re-vamp of my business tax’s to this Clara and Taye paying higher taxs but are managing with the Addition of Forrest to the home and Lastly i gave the Beaumonts the new Karogar household with Lars and his son and although they didn’t pay tax’s this year they will be next so that will provide even more of an income.

Relations in the house are still strained Valdemar and Marrisa are still not getting on though this may or may not change soon, story line has finally gotten around to them but i haven’t yet decided on its outcome.

For now Marrisa is staying well behaved, she doesn’t really get visitors so its hard for her to do anything but to be honest. Valdemar however Frequently visits the whorehouse and has interesting relationship with both the live in staff.

Eden is Marrisa’s cousin and despite having negative chemistry for Valdemar she and he have had a few kiss’s and cuddles but as yet have not made it to the bedroom.

Neve the maid i introduced last round however turned out to have 2 bolts for Val and he has the same for her and its been quite a struggle to keep them apart, and during the back endo of the round she ended up getting pregnant. 

I think the funniest thing is that Marrisa really doesn’t seem to care she’s walked passed them kissing on many occasions and hasn’t batted and eyelid which i assume is because i keep her and Valdemar in a content state of minus relations.

I try and improve the decoration etc in each of the houses year by year not only does it keep the “bills” high but it improves the look and feel of the place, I’ll be the first to admit im abit lazy when it comes to decorations etc, i tend to build houses with the bare minimums for survival and forget to make it look nice im especially bad at garden’s.

So by spending a little each year i try and improve gradually, even is its just the placement of weeds / ducks and sacks of grain in the case of peasants.

This year i added a stables to the back of the Beaumont house, it ended up costing about $10,000 but i think its a vast improvement.. i just wish i was a little for artistic in my endeavors.
