“No restrictions on personal lives…?”
None, save that you nine remain loyal to me and do not compromise my rule; as any king demands.
All vassals must acknowledge my authority, but they may rule in their own right. Therefore, any affair that is not treasonous I allow– for did I not offer thee greater power than thou hadst before? And wert thou not a prince, who did as he liked?
I have no reason (nor desire!) to oversee your manner of dress, your choice of company. Love as thou wilt, Khamul! I am thy master, not a jealous rival.
Your undying service is enough.
