You considered what the Prince said, but not his offer. You simply could not find it in yourself to listen to his prescription, even though his observation did speak to you. It was something thought about over the course of the day. You should be in charge. Kara was getting better, but ultimately she still acted like she was the boss even though you were the Hero. You knew that she needed you. That everyone needed you. Why should you not get what you want? More importantly, why should the only human on the planet in command of fate not be fully in charge of his own? You have leaned, you've grown, sacrificed. You considered the possibility that maybe if you had taken more control sooner you would not have had to give so much along the way.
As those thoughts came to a head you glanced around your zone within the circus. Heilan was tending to Raithe. The beastwoman had for the most part submitted to your authority but who was to say that would not change later on? You began to think that if you were better about leading and being in control you would be able to stop that from happening. Raithe was a blank slate, according to Kara, but there was still something there. You could see it, even if she refused to. As Jeane said, Raithe was learning and matching behaviors. If you could guide her along the right path early it would be for the best. Jeane was of course another issue. Her cockiness and stubbornness almost meant that she would be lost. Even her coming to terms with the fact that she was wrong about the orc did not stem her haughtiness. Even as she pranced around in sexy fishnets and high heels she still thought she was right in her intent and execution, if not in result. If you had dealt with Jeane more firmly from the start and reigned her in more it may not have been an issue. Luire probably would have been fine, in that case as well. 'He' was sitting by Jeane. Even though no physical changes had occurred in the short time since the incident, Luire had completely given up on projecting any semblance of manliness. It was simply a matter of no longer trying. The way the elf sat, spoke and carried himself were all overtly feminine and Luire had even begun regarding you similarly to the way other women in the group had done.
Then there was Kara. You and her had reached some type of understanding. It lead to your newfound skill that served to aid Luire to some extent. Still, she was moving for her own goals and her own purposes. You were sure that she was not malicious when it came to you, but you doubted she cared as much about the group and their safety as you did. She also likely did not respect your leadership and authority. You had never truly exerted it, so why should she? You knew that the points in which she allowed you to lead were moments where there was in fact no choice. She was allowing you to make the decisions she knew you would make, to bring you to a place that she wanted you to end up. It was frustrating to think about. You wondered what she would do if you had tried to go too far off the rails. Would she step in?
But, you thought, what were you going to do about it? The Prince offered his assistance, likely so that he could gain some type of edge over you. You knew he would never offer to help unless he had some type of angle. Thinking about it, the Prince was not the only one you could go to for help in this area. There was another figure that navigated the social setting of your group so effortlessly that he almost had an intelligent elven Mage willingly on her knees in front of his cock.

"Why would I help a woman dominate other women? It's against my religion and against the goals of the Furore." The orc was amused by you approaching him, but he still retorted harshly in response to the actual request.
"I'm NOT a woman." You asserted, briefly losing the point of why you were approaching the orc to begin with. His demeanor annoyed you and he was difficult to a fault.
The orc gave you a bemused look. "Listen, anyone that's a ceremony away from losing every ounce of their manhood is a woman. That's a fact."
"What about you?" You questioned skeptically. You did not buy into the orc's mythology. There was no way his own tricks could not be turned around on him.
