Ahmad has defied you. He has committed the most heinous acts of treason, yes. But he has not stolen your throne. You are still the Khan of Khans. I’ll go. I will defeat him in your name. I will show your people that the Vice Regent is not your son and never was. That he was never made of what you are. But I am. Your eyes are my eyes. Your hands are my hands. I speak the truth with your voice. I will rally the army. I will pacify the people. And they will know, as will the chieftains, that this House of Tolui, this bloodline, is strong and worthy.
