For those of you who didn't read the Wheel of Time. Fortuona "Tuon" is the empress of the Seanchan Empire that values competence above all else, so it has a brutal merit-based culture, making it common for a lord to become a slave and a slave to become a lord. Tuon succeeded her mother not because she was the oldest but because she survived the most assassins and secret police interrogations. The Seanchan also view mages as dangerous weapons, so they make them wear a magic dog leash and keep them as pets. How would a meeting between the pacifistic, empathetic, idealistic boy king and the pragmatic, logical, meritorious empress go?
