I'm a niche intrest

rough it's been a hot-and-or-cold minute summary

Harry wasn't always a king. Just last week he was a righteous traveling hero, bringing solitary justice to the downtrodden people he encounter and then slipping away into the sunset. No one holding him down, or holding him back.

One day, he happened on a planet of furballs being beset by an evil shape-shifting witch and did what any humble hero would do. Grab that conveniently placed sword stone and defended the hapless little things. Then... they wouldn't let him put it back.

Yeah, these guys? Super into prophecy, Harry was VERY foretold.

Now he has to go from solitary traveler to king of very fragile and ceremony obsessed people overnight. They won't stop offering him tribute. He has so much tribute right now. They keep bragging about their riches and they have zero military they are going to die-

BRIEF CANON CHARACTER RELATIONSHIPS

Wander - Harold heard Wander praised as the one who helped his furball people get their riches back a bit before his reign. He had a very different image in his head and might be slightly let down to find someone who is about as naive and fluffy as his own subjects. No matter. He will protect this... energetic man. Regardless of how annoying he is.

Sylvia - The one person Harold does not try to duty-bound king towards. They get each other. Have a spa day.

Hater - Now, imagine you're Hater. Imagine there's a whole plan to conquer the Alisandre System and it's going well, and you didn't actually care about the details. There's one planet - whatever it's called, that's kind of the endgame. Apparently it has some stupid king protecting it or whatever and you need to come at it at the right angle. He's probably really lame so you don't see what the hold up is, but okay. Then one day - you get a letter from the planets minister about it's prophesied you specifically will fall to the king's blade if you try to conquer this stupid place. So you might as well flee while you still draw breath (?).

What else are you supposed to do but immediately move the invasion forward and attack?

Harold and Hater well... they hate each other. Will end up punching and biting and yelling when they're not clashing in an epic struggle of good vs evil. Hater has a tendency to bring Harold down to his level and yes their names are very similar and I will never unsee this.

He was warm, confident, had a knack for making pleasantries actually feel pleasant. Which masked the fact the man had no chill and a red yarn conspiracy board for a brain. He made connections fast.

Her cold, pragmatic, could-kill-with-a-spoon security chief mom had one job - which was not to let nosy investigative journalists into her evil place of employment.

a woman wanted me to let her know if I had a particular item in storage, and she went to get a card out of her purse and went ‘oh no. I’m out of my work cards, I’m so sorry about this’ and handed me this:
