Making the king look like our puppet would actually make things worse, and they might just start attacking us right off the bat.
Better off taking a more... subtle approach to it, unless invited in. With those new worlds, I wonder if the King is open to trade?
Don't disagree about possible repercussions regarding unilateral involvement with the current Bourbon civil tensions. As for trade, pretty sure their older worlds are trading with us already, and the new worlds (the ones we took from Rouges Noir and gave them) probably aren't very productive yet, and quite possibly an active drain on Bourbon resources.
