(bleh, not gonna research sweden in the 12th century, alternate history time)
You are Suzanna BjornDottir, and you have recently taken the seat on the throne, even if you were the thirdborn child with two older brothers, they have recently died in battle and you are the one to take the throne, even if it was at the young age of 19. With no king by your side, you rule Sweden alone.
A woman in her thirties runs into the throne room, ignoring a few shouts of guards. Her hair is messy, and she is panting heavily. "Your majesty(you can change that, correct me if I'm being stupid), Norwegian barbarians have been spotted heading towards the small village of (screw it) Hronholf, and they are defenseless against the barbarians! You must he-" She is then cut off by being tackled by several guards. |

Order my guards off her, but congratulate them for always being ready. "And the appointed duke over that duchy has not used his own army?" |

| (By Duchy you mean province, correct? Like, he owns a certain amount of villages? Or is there a Duke for each small village?) |

(Alright.)
"No, your Majesty, not that I know of, the barbarians have not been provoked yet," She says, leaning on her knees, panting.
Just then, another citizen bursted through the door and yelled,"THERE'S SMOKE COMING FROM HRONHOLF!"
After hearing the news, the woman in her thirties faints and collapses to the floor. (belts were so tight it happened alot) |

| You heard guards yelling orders to eachother as small squadrons began hurrying to Hronholf, these squadrons amounting in a total to a small army. Now you're just sitting in the castle with a worried guy and a fainted girl. |

| A servant walks in with a large bucket of water and pours it on the woman as the other man leaves. The woman wakes up with a start, gets hear bearings, and heads out of the castle hurriedly. |

| Soon, a little too soon, the guards return, and you can't seem to find any missing; of course there is one or two, but the majority is still here. The leader of the fight walks up to you and says,"The forces from the Duke arrived shortly after us, and the barbarians were taken down quickly. Several houses were burnt down in the process, five villagers were killed." |

"Okay good" Disband the levies for now, or have them return to their previous state. |

| The guards return to their posts, but most of them return to rest as others come out to take theirs. |
