The Indian emissary bows again towards the Caliph without acknowledging the comments of the Ghorid Sultan,

'The Maharaja wishes to make it known that Delhi is currently under control of a branch of the Rajputs whom the Maharaja considers to be his wayward subjects. They will be returned to the fold very soon, and Shiva preserve any who seek to bar our intent there. Additionally all lands east and south of Delhi are Rajput lands. Enter them at your own risk.'

'Peace be unto you great Lords.'

The diplomat bows again to the Caliph before standing and retreating to one side of the chamber to await any further business.
