Eugene spits out his champagne. “You did WHAT?” They had finally reached the coup part of the story. His cousin looks startlingly disturbed by this development. “You staged a coup?!”
“Keep your voice down, you’re freaking people out,” Varian tries to say, but his cousin talks over him.
“Varian, you can’t take over neighboring kingdoms!”

Eugene is rapidly turning purple. “By the moon, you can’t just–how did you–holy shit.” His cousin drops to his haunches, breathing heavily through his mouth.
