I have never tried any runes on gems and rings, their rarity and quality was out of my reach for quite sometime. But i could see the creation of a far more powerful ring with the combination of this two, and i wouldn't want anything less for my future wife." Ivalera and Farnese visibly blush, noticing how the soon to be Farnese Santana is already being recognized as your fiancée.
"Oh, likewise! Though I lack the time to do it right now, we could always make it reflect the light of the Od strikes you are able to do. Perhaps at a later date I can let you create elementals of your own rather than spawns of mandragorans, but I believe this should suffice for now." Schierke takes the two rings together and places some thorns on the diamond ring.
"What is that child doing with mother's ring?"
"Given how little regards Mother has for Father now, she could likely care less for it."
Her mother's ring should hold more sentimental value than a ring made out of thorns. Handing the diamond one to Farnese, you prepare a speech for her...
"I thank you for returning me my family crest. It means much for me."
...Damn it, did it really have to be now? You were prepared for a fight, not an emotional encounter.
"Look at any child, and you will remember your own childhood days, Farnese. Think of the child, that survived in your oh so grown-up self. If she is still with us, could you tell me if she is proud of yourself, if she could ever hope to find herself in this situation."
"Within this cage of a building, she realized that this isn't the place she wished to return, but simply where her journey started a long time ago. Her time to visit has passed. It's time to move on, that is all." She wears the ring as you do yours, proudly holding your hand.
"How can you be so accepting of your daughter's heresy, your excellency?"
"In such a public display, no less."
A few detractors of Vritannis seem to voice their complaints, with Randel's soldiers being quick to defend you.
"What does it matter to you? If Ilos is not Midland territory, you're free to disagree."
"But did you see those illusions? Were they to be real, it would cause a shockwave that would forever change the landscape of the world."
"Sounds like inventing divorce is not the only thing Vlad will be remembered for!" Puck chuckled before a gust of wind pushed him to the window.
The mist coming from the released monsters soon turned into the shape of a mustache, the face of the Kushan Emperor formed as it obscured the chandeliers.
"ILLUSIONS, YOU SAY? HEAR ME, INFIDELS! I AM EMPEROR GANISHKA OF THE GREAT KUSHAN EMPIRE! MY DECLARATION OF WAR WILL BE THE START OF YOUR NEVERENDING NIGHTMARE THIS EVENING!"
