He nodded, not acting amused in the slightest, but finally shook his head. "No, best to nip this in the bud now. Hate for the former lord to decide to try and snatch you, or one of our daughters, without permission. Hate to have to come down on him like the wrath of god. I am fairly certain, however, I can convince him to release his 'claim' and find someone else. Or I can just absorb his holdings. Might be more fun."<br/><br/>"Definitely more exciting. Calculate a less healthy future for you though, sir, if you do go that route."<br/><br/>"Hey, if he is too stupid to see reason with a divine blast backing it up, then clearly he doesn't deserve to lord anyone."<br/><br/>He kept moving to the palace, acting like he practically owned the place, though if challenged, he retorted he was here to see which moron attempted to use the Grand Sultan's personal guards to try and kidnap his concubine.
