The question of whether the Larkinson Clan needed to take over a state or several states did not have to be answered right away.
In any case, the clan already spent many years doing fine without owning lots of territory. There was no need to hurry up all of a sudden.
When Gloriana heard that Ves actually took this kind of stuff into consideration, she expressed a predictably bold opinion.
"We have earned the right to hold territory. We have contributed so much to the development of red humanity that we deserve a greater stake in our society. Let the unworthy make way for our rule. If the Polymath is allowed to build her own empire, then I see no reason why we should be left out. We can do so much more if we have the manpower and resources of an entire state at our disposal."
