- Serves you right, Your Strategicity. For all your numerous talents, you have grown too greedy in your desire to conquer Ikazkan and blindly trusted a man who should have been hanged from the nearest post or tree. I have said it a million times - if you see a shady character, hang him right away, no need to tempt fate. Wasn't it obvious that he would stab you in the back at the first convenient opportunity? And now, in your attempts to find an underground treasure, you are missing an exceptional opportunity to bring all of Tezoth under your heel. A pity. A great pity. But is there any other lord in this kingdom worthy of my service? I, Knight of the Golden Section, Rainris Xezbeth, will not waste my precious time on mediocrity. Karneya? An immediate no. A rabid dog belongs in a cage, not ruling a country. Maria-Tenerezza? For all her merits, she doesn't measure up to imperial material. Stratos? Too tunnel-visioned, niche ambitions. Grimban? He would have made a good ruler, but I still don't see a way to guide someone like him along the path of a monarch. Kaleido? Possibly. Drachlaus? A clown. A strong one, but still a clown. A dragonborn with a silly name is an immediate pass - this is a human country, non-humans should stay far from the helm and should be grateful we don't make shoes out of their scales. Man? Too unpredictable. Diramis no, Dirk no. Asalia? Possibly. Nilcha no. Berseriy is most likely dead. Kanonchan no. Tsiel better go babysit children and bake pies. So it turns out there are no more worthy ones. Maybe I should become a lord myself? But that's so much hassle, I don't want to - I'd rather run everything from behind the scenes.
Judging by the lack of a filter, some distant relative of Galyan.
