Devaguea countered that securing the audience would be the easy part, the hard part would be getting their attention long enough to request said meeting. He brought out Ovinrbanne's history, and pointed to the part where it explicitly stated that Pharasma had sent her servants to kill the champion. In fact, he might even get the ushers to offer rewards to be the one that destroyed the blade; he doubted it, but it was possible. He also mentioned he wanted to be there when the sword was destroyed, just to rub his contempt of Gorum in further.<br/><br/>The dragon duke was too busy overseeing all the paperwork the coronation was generating to try and help deal with the parasites that came crawling out of the woodwork, but even if he had free time, he would have left it to his advisors. He looked over the report the returning team submitted, and frowned, before signing off on it, and making a note to have several watch towers built throughout the swamp. It wouldn't be pleasant for the guards assigned, but it would make a VERY effective punishment detail. Since there would be a large celebration to go with the coronation, he didn't send out a group to explore the new frontier for the month of Rova.<br/><br/>Devaguea met each group arriving for the coronation at the steps of the recently built 'palace,' though he wasn't moving out of his castle, instead electing to use the palace as a sort of large embassy and lodging for ambassadors. Not only did it flatter them with the well furnished housing, it kept made it easier for his spymaster and guards to keep an eye on them. For the ambassador's protection, of course, many were used to flashing their titles and getting away with anything, but that wouldn't work here.
