"Welcome, cousins! I hope you'll find the palace most accommodating throughout your stay." Not that accommodating, mind you. You may feel entitled to this kingdom, but you'll soon find that your supposed bride-to-be is not some paltry slab of meet to be bartered over at the market. If only I could slip away...
