We were quickly running out of snacks as we waited for the sultan to make his decision as he was staring down one of his most loyal followers someone who in his own words has done his dirty work if he was smart he could have pushed blame for Saygin's son disappearance on to Morden but because he was outraged at Saygin's defiance he showed his hand and missed his opportunity now he in all or nothing scenario.
Saygin:"Well what is it going to be!?"
Morden:"Yes, dear sultan what will you do?"
Sultan:"What are you doing here Morden!?"
Morden:"I came to meet with the lovely lady Shalu like I did yesterday before I was turned away at the gate imagine to my surprise as when I saw Faysal being kidnapped only a few streets before the palace on my way back to my hotel worse still that the nagas perpetrating this heinous act were dressed in the sultan guard uniforms clearly I thought them to be imposters so I decided to take action and save young Faysal from these friends and immediately came to report to you what had occurred yet now I hear that they were indeed working under orders from the sultan I am shocked and appalled by what I have come to learn" his tone contradicts his false concern
Saygin:"You have my son where is my son?!"
Sultan:"How dare you barge in here and lay such accusations at my feet clearly it must have been your doing to destabilize the sultanate in order for the Draconic Theocracy to create a foothold within our lands!"
Morden:"Relax Saygin your son is safe I brought him with me to testify what had occurred he is a little shaken up by the recent events but other than that he should be fine" he signaled his entourage and Faysal is brought out and returned to his father "as for those allegations of political disruption I think such actions are unnecessary considering your own don't you think sultan?"
While it is fun to watch them verbally spar and the power base crumble before our eyes it looks like I need to step in soon and possibly move my plans up as it doesn't look like the sultan's reign will survive the two weeks I originally planned for and I cement my marriage to Savita to ease my transition to the throne when I depose the sultan not only that but it is clear that Morden has come to do as the sultan insinuated but his priorities seemed to have shifted upon meeting a certain lamia which has stolen his attention I now need to exploit this fact before either one comes to their senses and makes a rational decision.
