Line 414:
* [[Nice to the Waiter]]: He always treats the palace servant girls well back home. And they respond gratefully.
* [[Perfectly Arranged Marriage]]: His first ''official'' wife was a representative of an influential Arab tribe in a marriage that helped appease a budding rebellion. As a bonus she was <s>very pretty</s> stunningly beautiful, was a [[Spirited Young Lady]], loved to read just like Eon, and was very useful at [[Sexy Secretary|helping with paperwork]].
** One of the rare justified examples of this trope - Rukaiya was only one of a small horde of Arab noblewomen competing for the position, and she was selected over all the rest precisely because her intelligence and temperament were such a fine match for Eon's. You get a large enough crowd of beauty contest contestantswinners together and interview them all, you're pretty much guaranteed to find at least ''one'' smart and nice one.
* [[Scary Black Man]]
* [[Spare to the Throne]]
