Kingdom Stance

There's no way this thief can predict what you have in store for him, which is evidenced by the salacious stare he gives you even as his tongue hangs down over his dirty, unshaven jaw. The devilishness of the grin that spreads across your lips (coupled, of course, by the sudden boiling of the water all around you) causes his look of laciviousness to evolve into more of a growing concern... and then terror.

...which was just what you had in mind!

He's already half anticipated what is about to happen and has turned back for the door when tongues of flame leap from your arms, giving his backsides a severe licking... and likely one he'll never forget, as he cries in great pain and flees the room almost as abruptly as he entered it.

You dry off, put on your undergarments and adventuring boots, and then promptly hide it all with the lovely crimson gown you've picked out for today. The evil grin can still be seen on your face when you finally descend the stairs from the dignitary chambers to the main hall of the castle.

The main hall is surprisingly empty, save for the servant boy from before, who has no doubt just witnessed the flaming man come from the same direction you are (judging from the look of mild amusement on his face).

Now... what to do, what to do...
