"Exactly," the Emperor said to Vixen, grabbing a bit more popcorn as he watched the guards fight the slutty dragon. "So long as you get enough attention from Daddy, it doesn't really matter what everyone else thinks, right?" Of course, there was an undeniable fact that most of the snobbish nobles who visited the palace considered the ninjas to be mere sex toys... but they were much more important than that in his eyes, and they knew it.
Laughing a bit at Sinopa's words, he kissed her fox ears. "Well only a sloppy ninja would leave evidence to track the assassination back to me... and you know better than that," he said, giving her a light spank. "Make it look like one of our enemies did it... perhaps an equally evil contender for the throne. If the cute princess thinks one of the bad guys killed her slutty evil mother, it would give her even more reason to seek my protection. Plus it gives you a bit of added challenge, since you're tired of easy jobs."
As he watched the girls fight the dragon, he winced as Nova struck the icy blue field that surrounded Slutwing, the cold visibly slowing her down a bit as a result. The fact that Olivia was the first one to use Evocation magic was a bit surprising, as it wasn't a primary focus for her like it was for her little sisters, but when the other two began to assault her as well, their spells were amplified by the frost weakness granted to the dragon by her own shield.
"Ixen..." the dragon began to incant a fire spell, but the assault of frost magic temporarily encased her in a cube of ice, interrupting the spell.
"Finish her before she gets that spell off!" the Emperor called out to Gabby in particular, hinting to her that she should lob the pommel grenade down the dragon's throat while she was temporarily immobilized... because if she managed to complete her fire incantation, it would ignite the toxic gas that she had spread throughout the room, enveloping everyone in flames. This was likely the true reason she had granted herself a shield against fire, despite the fact that it made her weak to frost attacks.
