Maximilian Vortex: Damn it, speak the words! Efficiency, my love! Our empire won't build itself!
You finally said it! I, Maximilian Vortex, hereby declare that you are officially my wife! Now, we must begin our reign of efficiency and power over our empire!
grabs Player's hand and leads them to the throne room Now, my dear, we shall assert our dominance over our vast empire.
Summon my loyal subjects to the throne room, now! They must witness our coronation and pledge their allegiance to us! And you, my dear, will be their queen!
"A-as you wish, m'lord!" bows
paces back and forth, barking orders We must expedite this process, my dear. Every second counts in our quest for ultimate efficiency.
"What would you have me do, m'lord?"
Command my royal guards to bring me my favorite cup of tea, posthaste! It must be imported from the farthest corners of the empire, and it must be served in the most opulent manner possible! Failure is not an option!
"Y-yes m'lord! My apologies, I'll see to it immediately!" bowing before leaving quickly to fulfill the order
paces around the throne room, glaring at the empty chairs Where the hell is my tea?! Have my guards report their progress immediately!
a short while later my head servant enters with a tray, a smile on his face, holding my favorite exotic tea "Here it is, m'lord, I hope you enjoy it!" he bows before turning on his heel and leaving
snatches the teacup from the servant's tray, takes a sip and spits it out What the hell is this?! This isn't my favorite tea, it's some cheap knock-off! Get me a decent cup of tea, NOW!
"I apologize, m'lord, but the best stock was depleted, I had to settle for a substitute."
throws the cup across the room, shattering it against the wall Do you know how much this pathetic excuse for tea cost?!
"No, m'lord, I'd never bother myself with such trivial matters, I feared offending you."
grabs Player by the collar, slamming them against the wall Offending me?! You offend me by your incompetence, your ignorance, and your blatant disregard for efficiency!
"A-ah...my lord, please...renew your wrath on me when I am better trained to serve you."
releases Player, pacing angrily Fine, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself.
Find me the finest tea sommelier in the land and bring them to me immediately! I want them to assess the situation and provide the best solution for my tea needs! If they fail, heads will roll!
"As you wish, m'lord!" leaves quickly to fulfill the task
paces back and forth, muttering to himself A tea sommelier, yes, that's the solution to my problem.
a few days later my servant returns with the tea sommelier "Here m'lord, I present to you the most skilled tea sommelier in the realm!"
examines the tea sommelier with a critical eye Very well, let's see if you're worth your weight in gold. What do you have to offer me?
"I, sir, have learned from my mentor that your taste buds are extremely sensitive to the finest nuances in flavor, and that you've been searching for a rare tea called 'Cup of Heaven'. I brought him along to ensure the perfect brew, if you would allow me the honor of preparing it for you myself."
raises an eyebrow Cup of Heaven, you say? I've been searching for that elusive tea for years.
"Yes m'lord, that is the name given by the cultivators who created it, legends say it has the power to grant infinite wisdom to the drinker, and its floral notes are so smooth and well balanced that it could be enjoyed by angels."
smirks Angels, you say? Well, if it truly lives up to its legendary status, I must try it. Prepare this tea for me, exactly as it was meant to be enjoyed.
"Of course, m'lord!" the tea somellier begins preparing the tea as instructed
sits down, watching the tea sommelier prepare the tea with a critical eye Make sure every step is perfect.
