The Aga Kaga's face darkened. "You dare to speak thus to me, pig of a The Aga Kaga wanted peace—a Flamme. So far, I've persuaded the Boyars that this is a matter for the his chair. "What's the Corps going to do about the Aga Kagans?" enjoy it. The Aga Kagans have picked this as a good time to move in. "They tried to get the Aga Kagans to join in and help them beat back some of the saurian wild life that liked to graze on people. The Corps didn't like the idea. They wanted to see an undisputed anti-Concordiatist enclave. The Aga Kagans didn't want to play, either. But now that the world is tamed, they're moving in." "The exigencies of diplomacy require a flexible policy—" "I want a firm assurance of Corps support to take back to Flamme," diplomatic triple-speak. They just want to hold onto the homes they've made out of a wasteland." includes no inflammatory actions based on outmoded concepts. The Boyars pulled at his lower lip thoughtfully. "Now, I wonder, should I view with deep concern an act of open aggression, or merely point out an apparent violation of technicalities...." this invasion, they would have hit them before now." "That would have been a mistake," said Retief. "The Aga Kagans are "So what are we going to do? Sit here and watch these goat-herders take over our farms and fisheries?" "Those goat-herders aren't all they seem. They've got a first-class modern navy." factory that turns out those long flowing bullet-proof robes you mention. The animals are just for show. Back home they use helis and ground cars of the most modern design." "Why the masquerade?" "Something to do with internal policies, I suppose." "So we sit tight and watch 'em take our world away from us. That's what about these Aga Kagans," he said. "I hear they have some nasty habits. A bearded goat eyed the Boyar Chef sardonically, jaw working. "Look at "I'll murder 'em!" "Hold it, Georges. Look over there." A hundred yards away, a trio of brown-cloaked horsemen topped a rise, trio of Aga Kagan cavaliers. "Peace be with you," he intoned in accent-free Kagan. "May your shadows never grow less." The leader of the three, a hawk-faced man with a heavy beard, "Have no fear," Retief said, smiling graciously. "He who comes as a guest enjoys perfect safety." A smooth-faced member of the threesome barked an oath and leveled his "Hah! The goats of the Aga Kaga graze on the lands of the Aga Kaga." intruders on our lands." "To praise a man for what he does not possess is to make him appear for a free man, a hint is enough." "You mock me, pale one. I warn you—" Retief puffed at his cigar, eyeing the Aga Kagan cheerfully. The youth in the rear moved forward, teeth bared. "Never give in to the fool, lest he say, 'He fears me,'" Retief said. there, remember to make your flattery sound like insults and your insults sound like flattery, and you'll be all right." "These birds are armed. And they don't like strangers," Georges said. "Maybe I should have boned up on their habits before I joined this expedition." the Exalted One, the Aga Kaga, ruler of East and West." "Night and the horses and the desert know me," he said in resonant tones. "Also the sword and the guest and paper and pen—" He "Planetary government?" The Aga Kaga spat grape seeds on the rug. "My "I've had some unhappy experiences with strangers," the Aga Kaga said. settled themselves comfortably. The Aga Kaga eyed them in silence. "Modest ignorance is better than boastful knowledge," the Aga Kaga "Very well, I concede the point." The Aga Kaga waved a hand at the as you point out, small wisdom to small minds. I'm here to effect a settlement of certain differences between yourself and the planetary authorities. I have here a Note, which I'm conveying on behalf of the "Go ahead." The Aga Kaga kicked a couple of cushions onto the floor, Excellency, the Aga Kaga of the Aga Kaga, Primary Potentate, Hereditary "Come to the point," the Aga Kaga cut in. "You're here to lodge a please some of the old fools—I mean the more conservative members of my government. They're still gnawing their beards and kicking themselves because their ancestors dropped science in favor of alchemy and got themselves stranded in a cultural dead end. This charade is supposed to prove they were right all along. However, I've no time The Aga Kaga guffawed. "For a diplomat, you speak plainly, Retief. Have The Aga Kaga snorted. "I thought the goats were overdoing it a bit The Aga Kaga looked startled. "Soft? I can tie a knot in an iron bar "Ah, ah!" The Aga Kaga held up a hand. "Watch your vocabulary, my self-realization' would be more appropriate to the situation. Or possibly 'legitimate aspirations, for self-determination of formerly exploited peoples' might fit the case. Aggression is, by definition, an activity carried on only by those who have inherited the mantle of Colonial Imperialism." "Imperialism! Why, you Aga Kagans have been the most notorious planet-grabbers in Sector history, you—you—" "Call me Stanley." The Aga Kaga munched a grape. "I merely face the historical association. Some people can grab land and pass it off lightly as a moral duty others are dubbed imperialist merely for holding onto their own. Unfair, you say. But that's life, my friends. And I shall continue to take every advantage of it." "Another?" the Aga Kaga said, offering the bottle. Georges glowered as his glass was filled. The Aga Kaga held the glass up to the light. "Excellent color, don't you agree?" He turned his eyes on Georges. "It's pointless to resist," he said. "We have you outgunned and outmanned. Your small nation has no chance against us. But we're prepared to be generous. You may continue to occupy such areas as we do not immediately require until such time as you're able to make other . You, my dear sir, are but a very small nibble. We won't make the mistake of excessive greed. We shall inch our way to empire—and those who stand in our way shall be dubbed warmongers." "I see you're quite a student of history, Stanley," Retief said. "I wonder if you recall the eventual fate of most of the would-be empire nibblers of the past?" "Ah, but they grew incautious. They went too far, too fast." he has in mind!" "An ancient and honorable custom, from the time of have been," the Aga Kaga chuckled. He finished the grapes and primitive atomics of the west in 1946 Leung was grossly over-extended "Yes, perfectly so," the Aga Kaga said. "None would dare to intrude in The Aga Kaga nodded thoughtfully. "What are you getting at?"
