Fortunately, Irene was the Attolians' most precious treasure, and Gen stole her out of the hands of an enemy.

(The stealing something so it won't be stolen by someone else thing just reminded me of National Treasure.)

I love this take and it reminds me of this quote from Pratchett:

“All witches are selfish, the Queen had said. But Tiffany’s Third Thoughts said: Then turn selfishness into a weapon! Make all things yours! Make other lives and dreams and hopes yours! Protect them! Save them! Bring them into the sheepfold! Walk the gale for them! Keep away the wolf! My dreams! My brother! My family! My land! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine!

I have a duty!”

If the whole kingdom is the thief's stronghold then it's only people outside who need to worry...
