Both Khan and Ambassador Abores had a lot to gain from their alliance. Their career could get to the next level if everything went according to plan. However, a few differences existed.
Ambassador Abores couldn't immediately gain benefits from the alliance. Actually, he would have to pressure Lord Exr to plan a meeting before even hoping to achieve his goals.
Instead, Khan could only wait for the time being, but that didn't mean standing still. If the plan were successful, he would inherit Ambassador Abores' current position, which required heavy studies and preparation.
Those studies couldn't happen overnight. Khan would be too late to the party if he started as soon as the plan succeeded. He would have to begin to prepare immediately to hope to be ready for that new job.
