18 Khura’in’s Greatest Queen

---

“Khura’in’s Greatest Queen”
(Sung to the tune of “The World’s Greatest Criminal Mind”
from Disney’sThe Great Mouse Detective)

---

[After a long day of ruling over Khura’in, Ga’ran decides to blow off some steam by singing about how great she is as her Royal Guards stand at attention.]

---

{Ga’ran}
From the mind that usurped Khura’in’s throne,
The magnificent queen whose glory is known,
For imposing the wonderful DC Act,
That got Dhurke’s livelihood eliminated and sacked.

---

But those were just the beginning,
To our scheme for glory and winning.
Our earlier deeds were quite a thing to see,
But now we must be more merciless,
For our rule is threatened as Inga plots against us,
Surely you would agree.

---

{Royal Guards}
More merciless? Are you serious?
More ruthless than those children you had executed?
You’re the greatest queen we’ve reputed.
Oh, Your Eminence,
Oh, Your Eminence,
Your intellect has no peers!
Oh, Your Eminence,
Oh, Your Eminence,
Your beauty brings us to tears!

---

[“Thank you, Guards. Your words are most refreshing to our ears.” Ga’ran smirks. “But alas, our rule hasn’t been all flowers and butterflies. For we have faced our fair share of adversity thanks to that meddlesome, loudmouthed rebel, Dhurke Sahdmadhi!” The sinister queen snarls.]

---

[“Booo!” The Royal Guards yell in unison.]

---

[“For 23 years, that idealistic brute has sought to end our glorious rule, and we haven’t had peace of mind ever since!” Ga’ran bemoans in an over-the-top fashion, sniffling and even faking a tear to really sell it.]

---

[“Aww…” The guards bemoan, a few of them whimpering with trembling lower lips.]

---

[But in the blink of an eye, a sinister grin spreads across the queen’s face. “But once we get rid of our traitorous husband and claim the Founder’s Orb for ourselves, no one- not Dhurke, not that meddlesome foreign attorney, nor anyone else, for that matter – will ever be able to stand in our way! The people of Khura’in shall venerate us for the rest of time!”]

---

{Royal Guards}
Oh, Your Eminence,
Oh, Your Eminence,
Your enemies all cower!
Oh, Your Eminence,
Oh, Your Eminence,

---

{A Single Guard}
Despite your lacking spiritual power!

---

[“Who said that?!” Ga’ran snarls, prompting the Royal Guards to quickly distance themselves from the quivering man. “Eemp Pu’tant…! Why am I not surprised?”]

---

[“Y-Y-Your Eminence, I-I can explain!” The man stutters, dropping to his knees out of fear. “Back when it was declared that Her Merciful would become queen instead of you, we were told that it was because she had more spiritual power than you.”]

---

[“Such Insolence!” Ga’ran roars. “We have always been a prodigy in regards to my spiritual capabilities and we will not allow for some lowly guard to say otherwise!”]

---

[“I-I’m sorry, Your Eminence! It won’t happen again!”]

---

[“We fully agree with you, Pu’tant. For you know what happens to guards who have the audacity to question our powers…” The Queen snaps her fingers prompting two guards to restrain Eemp’s arms, holding the man in place before a third guard slices his throat open with his sword.]

---

[After the deed is done, the two guards let go of Eemp’s arms, allowing his corpse to fall to the ground with a thud. For the next few seconds, the throne room is filled with an eerie silence, which is suddenly broken by Ga’ran.]

---

[“As you were singing?” The Queen smirks.]

---

{Royal Guards}
Even prouder,
We’ll proclaim it!
No one could hope to hold a candle to you!
Your word is the only one that’s true!
Oh, Your Eminence,
Oh, Your Eminence,
Your teeth are so clean!
Oh, Your Eminence,
Oh, Your Eminence,
The greatest Khura’inesequeeeeeen!
