—There's what helmets? Normally she's annoyed when he makes good points but right now she's distracted trying to figure out what that even is, is that — does that flip you around like Zon-Kuthon, that sounds awful

Just because the convention isn’t primarily a loyalty test doesn’t mean he should waste such a good opportunity to show loyalty to the crown.  He joins in the clapping enthusiastically.

If the nobility in fact leave because they're being treated unconscionably the country will more or less collapse - the reason the Queen brought them back was because she did not, actually, have any better way to keep the country free of monsters, and there are not hundreds of eager would-be royal appointees waiting in the wings, or indeed any of them - but naturally Ibarra doesn't care about whether the country actually survives.

Jonatan is really spending an awfully large amount of time questioning the decision to allow Norgorber cultists a role in the government.

She really does hate it when he’s the one that makes good points.

Every court needs a jester. This one enjoys skewering Jilia's enemies so she's in favor of it being him, really.

Also, have you seen real Norgorber cultists? She'd put Ibarra in charge of Vyre if she thought he could make it stick, he's a headache but they're so much worse.

As far as he can determine being a count is a thankless, not particularly well-paying job which they are having a great deal of difficulty staffing that most of the people in this room took because it is compensated in being high-status.

And yet nobody offered a county to Alexandre! How strange of them.

It's because he's a terrible person.

You're not the duchess, I'm the duchess. I would object to you being a duchess. Because you're a terrible person.

You know what this seems like a good moment for?

 

"I would like to introduce a motion banning the worship of Norgorber. The motion would be simple and as follows: the worship of Norgorber is hereby prohibited throughout Cheliax. The default penalty is exile from Cheliax."

"You need to put it through a committee!"

Permalink

"You are mistaken, Norgorber cultist! We agreed that to be binding, a resolution must go through committee. But then Her Majesty clarified that no laws we pass are binding, but are merely recommendations to her; therefore, they need not go through committee."

Permalink

He laughs.

....are you really going to cede "the queen shouldn't consider anything we pass a serious request for a law" in order to non-bindingly burn Ibarra?

Ooh, he didn't even think of that! Time to get in line.
