Depressing
Prince Jack Nognes had heard about Khan's irrational, violent, and unstable behavior. Entire teams had briefed him about the issue. Yet, men who had lived in pampered and untouchable environments their whole lives rarely adapted to different situations.
Of course, the noble education had trained Prince Jack for that, but the situation would force him to assume a lower status or at least pretend to. That wasn't something he could do on the spot. That switch inside his brain had never been flipped and had long since rusted away.
Nevertheless, the threat forced Prince Jack to consider that unbelievable development. He actually had to run simulations to answer Khan's question, and what he found didn't please him.
