Khan and Lord Rsi exchanged a meaningful stare while utter silence surrounded them. The alien was no stranger to politics, including the human ones, so Khan knew he had publicly voiced the request on purpose.

Meanwhile, Mister Cirvags had a deeper understanding of the Thilku, leading to a deep stupor. The Empire didn't only trust Khan with a monopoly over its friendship. It was also willing to let him wave its banner while occupying planets as if he were no different from a Lord.
