Another fennec nobleman named Folly promised him his only daughter's hand in marriage, in exchange for a kingdom of his own. It was intended to be an impossible request. But Renard used GuileHero tactics to earn King Dolphense's trust, help him win the war against the Canine Empire, become a hero to the Ovine nation, and inherit the kingdom when the heirless Dolphense died in battle. He then immediately gave the crown to Folly, thus fulfilling the challenge. And since Renard was marrying Folly's daughter, he got to continue being royalty despite giving up his crown.
