"That is quite a grand vision, Lord Miralai," The Sultana Dowager responded, her tone betraying a note of scepticism, "It does sound like a world of fantasy."

Abdullah nodded, meeting her gaze evenly. "Yes, your Majesty, it is a dream, a fantasy. But it's precisely because it is so that it gives us a common goal to strive for.

But make no mistake—I expect compensation for the hardship you've brought upon us, for my son's plight, and for your unjustified invasion."
