The king put out a call for adventurers to fight an evil dragon and offered his daughter's hand in marriage. However, after the dragon is slain, he clarifies that he meant his youngest daughter who's eighth in line for the throne and has no accomplishments or significant dowry. What happens?

Is she cute?

That's still a pretty significant status bump from "wandering professional murderer", so I'd so a lot of people would be perfectly happy with that offer. Besides, lots of nobles probably need professional murderer services, having an in is always good. Its a hard market to break in to.

Take that bitch adventuring, bitches love adventuring.
That'll get her some accomplishments.

Royalty, even 8th in line, is an absurd status hike.
And really, what's stopping a PC from killing seven more people who aren't nearly as deadly as a dragon?

Or killed.

I'm just glad the King permits gay marriage.

>What happens?

Hiring murderhobos in secret to bump off 7 people.

I already knew. The king has whole court full of people you know? And people likes to talk, me too.

The GM gets a smack for being a smug lying asshole.
>But the king didn't say WHICH daughter TEE HEE aren't I clever?
I refuse to deal with that sort of bullshit again. Fuck you.

I don't think anyone who sets out to slay the dragon is actually expecting to be handed the throne on a silver platter. That's just not reasonable expectations, and most adventurers would be terrible rulers for a variety of reasons. A princess is still a princess, and being able to tie your lineage directly to the royal family benefits you as much as it does the King to have a dragonslayer on speed dial.
