How can I support the murder-plot of another character? - Crop faceless person showing paper with i can t breath inscription during Black Lives Matter movement demonstration

Thanks to my spymaster I recently found out that there is a conspiracy of nefarious plotters among my vassals who plan the murder of my beloved son. As a ruler and father I am outraged by their insolence... that they didn't ask for my help!

I think murdering him is a great idea! I was looking for ways to decimate my offsprings for years (damn gravelkind succession, damn lustful + midas touched wife), and these guys are doing it for me without me risking to get my hands dirty. So I would like to do everything in my power to have them succeed.

Is there anything I can do to help them? Can I somehow get them to invite me to their plot, encourage others to support the plot or boost the plot power of those already involved?



Best Answer

I know it's not a direct answer to your original question but if your overall goal is to kill your son and current heir and he has a low intrigue value you could try making him your spy master and then send him off to steal tech. Especially the tech of some ruler with a high intrigue spy master. He'll eventually be caught and likely killed unless you're really unlucky.

Actually just making him your spy master in general will likely shorten his life span considerably.
