Once Charlemagne's brother died, Charlemagne inherited the other half, so he ended up having the entire kingdom. Then he continued to expand his kingdom. I don't know your options but I hope this helps :)

He allied with the Lombards to overtake his brother.

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

In 768, Charlemagne decided to follow Charles Martel’s example. He understood that splitting his father’s lands with his brother would diminish his power, so he allied with the neighboring Lombards to overpower his brother and again unite the Franks. Then, when the king of the Lombards died, he took control of their lands, too.
