Nothing but presumptuous

Duke Cilantro was dreaming about the wonderful future that he was going to have after this ball was over. He was so confident of winning this entire thing that he even giggled while dreaming about sitting in the throne room, in his dream his pompous self was sitting in the seat of an important minister with jewels and women surrounding him, he was holding on a goblet of wine and on top of the throne sat Prince Leon who was praising him for all the good deeds that he has done in enthroning him as the emperor of this world.
