As a man you can still get an heir no matter how old you get so long as you don't get castrated
Just stay healthy and get rich, you can buy a wife for yourself in the future and have all the heirs you want

That's what you get for not having your Retinue anti-cucking squad parked there at all times.
>have brother as heir
I will carry my family name for far longer than it would survive in a line of descendants.
All my levies were busy fighting off Ryazan and it was too early to have a big retinue. I really should have mentioned the fact I was being constantly fucked with by the Cumans, Ryazan, Suomenusko rebels and later Kiev/Ruthenia the entire game. Novgorod also laying claim to my Northern territories didn't help either. Besides, most of my retinue troops would by Light Infantry anyways because I was still a Slavic tribal chiefdom.
>be strong, charismatic, loved by the people, be a born leader and primed for the position of emperor
