He reveled in the new strength now available to him. He felt as if he could destroy mountains, lay waste to entire forests. His people, small in number though they were but still _his_ people, had been in awe. Just like she had promised. And now, more of her promises were being fulfilled.
She presented to the young prince a gift worthy of someone in his stature. Servants who would do anything his will commanded. To kill those who opposed him. To protect him if he so desired. To fulfill his every need. Two genies, Phi and Chi, who offered to him the bracers to which they were bound. They knelt before the Heir Apparent to the Musk Dynasty, wearing nothing at all.
Tantalized by the sight of their nude bodies, the young Prince Herb was at a loss with what to do. This was the opening Galaxia was waiting for. Whispered suggestions had him take their proferred gifts, yet making sure to have his fingers linger along their hands. After donning the Bracer of Phi and the Bracer of Chi, she had him raise the Genies to their feet, so he could examine them. She made sure he checked them very closely, with a thorough hands-on inspection.
Not too long after that, _her_ servants, Phi and Chi, ceased teasing the fool and showed him exactly how they preferred to 'serve' him. The child would soon be hers, completely. And, with the help of the other two Bracers of Summoning, she would secure her rule over his people.
Let Beryl and those dissembling weaklings squabble over that island nation; she would carve out her own kingdom here in these mountains. Puppet leader or not, she would bow down to no one, not even if to have someone else take the fall. She was strong, one of the greatest before joining the rebellion. And there was nothing that revenge-obsessed fool or those back-stabbing skulkers in the shadows could do to stop her.
