there is but one rule
hunt or be hunted

In a blink of an eye, the golden-eyed queen greets him. Sinner is not startled by the sudden appearance of the newly gifted magician. Instead, he smiles smugly at her with a curiosity lingering in his hooded gazed. The newly crowned queen speaks his name and finds no need to introduce who he is. If anything, the hound is already impressed with the Tephra queen. Sinner could get behind a ruler who is well-informed, but he also has his own intentions when it comes to knowing things too. “Leliana,” he says with a genuine tone. The hound does not hide the growing gleam in his eyes as he looks her over for a moment. There was no need to hide his true satisfaction of the newly crowned queen. He assumed the mare would do finely in her newfound position, but her intentions for Tephra and Sylva was important to him and even more important matters needed to be discussed. Leliana was quick to the point. She had an agenda to attend to. A fire within her that was burning for something. “We have much to discuss indeed,” he licks his lips lightly before he continues. “Before you came to the throne, Magnus had made an alliance with Sylva. I do hope we could continue to have such an arrangement. Considering our interest is within the same area.” He smirks softly, the idea of the opportunity was closer than he imagined. But he could not hide behind the shadows any longer. The hound could not wait for the pieces anymore to remain barely touching. It was time to put them together for once and all. “Loess.” He says sternly, distaste lingers in every letter of the southern kingdom. He considers Leliana for a moment before continuing on. “We have no intention of aligning ourselves with Loess. It was never in the heart of Sylva to be beneath another either.” Sinner clearly hints at his aspiration to overtake the southern kingdom. If he were to be honest about his intentions, it would be the right timing now. “We do not approve of what Loess is doing. It has never settled with us.” But Sinner could have care less at one time or another for what they have done. It is only now that his rightful time to seek his greatest desire as of late would happen now. He would seize the opportunity by the horns now with all his strength and resources. “If we are to continue this alliance and take part in your fight against Loess, I ask that you support us in our attempt to take the southern sector of Beqanna.” But it was not a request. It was a requirement. Sinner would no longer bend the knee to the dragon-king. He would have the crown and nothing less than it now.
