Trying to cheat through main quest

[Pinocchio]

Hi,

my main quest just timed out... and I'm trying to load an older safe and cheat through the main quest (Personally, I don't see this as a cheat, because I just wanna play sandbox without locking my campaign out of something)

Problem is, the king of vlandia is nowhere to find. He was prisoner in a town that I took over now he is at a castle... cant find him there or in the surroundings and when iI try to start conversation through dev console the game crashes....

any ideas?

Might be a pain, but do you have even earlier saves?
