He was indeed angry about Amena's display earlier in the day and even more angry that Leon's younger brother had stepped in.<span style="color: #4080FF"><span style="font-weight: bold">"You are correct. As you may have heard, the girl refuses to choose a proper suitor, so I am here to do it for her. I believe you would be the right kind of man for her, as she needs someone who can control her,"</span></span>Robert explained. It was obvious Leon wasn't exactly impressed with the offer and Robert waved over another ale, pushing it towards Leon.<br/><br/><span style="color: #4080FF"><span style="font-weight: bold">"I know it sounds like no special treat to have my daughter. However, with her comes Galline and a bruise to your brother's heart,"</span></span>at that, Leon seemed to straighten, and Robert took that as a sign to continue.<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #4080FF">"Your brother very much loves Amena, but I do not think Yakari is a suitable man for her. He will allow her to continue living in Ipale instead of attending her duties to Galline and allow her to do damn near anything she pleases with no regard to honor. You, I know, will not allow that. My only stipulation is that I be allowed to live at Galline and Amena can handle everything else. You can be lord by name if you wish, but you will not have to be responsible for much else. All the benefits of being the lord and none of the work. It would create an alliance and I will die in peace knowing that my people are being taken care of the way they should be, as Amena will be faithful to her duty the moment she is forced back home--and the only way I can force it is through marriage."</span></span><br/><br/>Robert took a gulp of his ale, then sat down his mug, looking into Leon's eyes,<span style="color: #4080FF"><span style="font-weight: bold"> "Besides getting Galline, you get to be the man who claims to have conquered Amena, with the added satisfaction of seeing your brother crumble at the loss of her to his own brother--admittedly it is not much, but perhaps it is enough." </span></span><br/><br/>Robert waited for Leon's response--he preferred Melina's idea of having Amena marry Rufus, but knew she was the best one to bring the idea to Leon than Robert was. He was simply to build a foundation for the manipulative little minx to work with.
