English term or phrase: wants my skin for a donkey's nosebag
"Yes, but you can't just go in there and say to Akhenaten ' oh and by the way, your loyal chief of police Mahu, who wilds almost as much power as you do, wants my skin for a donkey's nosebag."
Έχει γίνει μια απόπειρα δολοφονίας κατά του ήρωα κι αυτός θέλει να ζητήσει ακρόαση από τον βασιλιά Ακενατόν για να του μιλήσει γι' αυτό και για την αποστολή του... Ο συνεργάτης του λοιπόν εδώ τον ειρωνεύεται και παρουσιάζει λιγάκι χονδροειδώς αυτά που θα πει στο βασιλιά. Εδώ χρειάζεται μια μάλλον ελεύθερη μετάφραση, οπότε θα είμαι ευγνώμων για κάθε πρόταση!
