The Russian envoy was evidently prepared and immediately smiled, saying, "The Tsar believes that a hero like you, who is also wise, should rightfully ascend to the Khanate."
Murad, having the deepest thorn in his heart touched, immediately frowned and said bluntly, "I don't need the Tsar to crown me."
Murad was once the Chancellor of the Astrakhan Dynasty of Bukhara. After marrying the daughter of Khan Abu Gazi, he launched a coup and seized power.
However, because he obtained his position illegitimately, he was unable to declare himself Khan due to the unanimous resistance of the nation's nobles and could only become an "Emir," which is roughly equivalent to a governor or general.
Yet, Murad also looked down upon the Khan crowned by the Tsar of Russia.
