Her recognition would make her and himself more noticeable and also it would help collect more gold. It also meant he would have a touch of trouble keeping their hands off her as well. They idolize her, fantasize of her and desire her for their pent up pleasures. Less time to give to him.<br/><br/>He would take the time to elaborate since he neglected to mention that.<strong>"I am the bastard son of the former Emperor of Padhe. And I intend to claim my birthright. I'm going to claim the throne."</strong>He figured to get that one out of the way first and foremost.<strong>"I'll need warriors for an inevitable campaign. The gnolls lack a home and I can give them that home if I become Emperor. It's not much but its a start."</strong>He took a moment and then elaborated on the bounty on his head.<strong>"One hundred isn't a lot for a royal. So either the bounty is being downplayed by the one whom issued it. If Im wanted dead then its an enemy. Alive, its possibly an ally. Emphasis on possibly."</strong>He's not foolish enough to think if he was wanted alive that it couldn't be an enemy.<strong>"As for who you will be of help, well you are a wealth of information being a formal concubine of the former Emperor. My father. Surely you must know some who were fiercely loyal to him. Finding potential allies and warriors that want the Usurper gone is a start."</strong>
