Thank you all for discussing the game! It is quite interesting to see how you capture the details that really matter and will develop in the future.
I want to mention one thing that I don't think I have written anywhere yet, but that is important to me: I'm trying to make sure that your actions carry more weight than your words. I don't know how well I can do it, so I wasn't in a hurry to talk about it.
For example, the case of Danka. The hero says that Pino marries her not because Danka is indifferent to him, but only because it is necessary. So, yes, the hero is lying, because the situation requires it. And he will have to lie in the future, since this is a rather dangerous and complex world in which it is difficult for honest people to survive. In some situations, honesty can ruin not only his life, but also lives of whose who are close to him. There is one russian meme for this case: "dementia and bravery" (btw, in the Russian version it is a choice in the game when the queen demands you kneels, but you can refuse to do it):
However, actions do not lie. It is in them that you can achieve what you want. So be prepared to spin intrigues and sometimes even make difficult decisions to get the girl you like.
