Playing a dragon, who in most fiction tend to be the most arrogant and touchy beasts, it seemed to me that the response for your opening demand of a portion of the Steppes (which really was out of the norm) would be a furious answer to the presumption of demanding part of what a dragon had already claimed as his own. I'm going to go back into character, but I just want to make sure that none of it is intended personally. A dragon would of course crow over his victories (and probably ignore his losses) and since we are playing that kind of game, it just seems to add colour to keep at it.
OOC - DuPont, I appreciate the clarification but it's totally unnecessary; I'm a long-time gamer and understand the IC and OOC distinctions quite well and can separate the two. I think you have role-played the part of the RD wonderfully! I went into this wanting to deliberately role-play an aggressive, confident queen who was in no way intimidated by the Dragons given her family's long military background (I'm glad I'm "out of the norm"), she would much rather "burn out, then fade away"; so she backs down to no one (not prudent from an IC perspective, but much fun to play; but then I wasn't worried so much about "winning" as having a lot of role-playing fun).
So crow away, I would do it as well if our roles were reversed. However, because she said she would not speak with you until you apologized for your insults, it will unfortunately make the role-play a bit lopsided for awhile, which really is a double-whammy because she would have attempted to "demand" her emissaries back creating more role-play fun, but she's as principled a character as they come and she made her decree. But make no mistake, she will be plotting her revenge in silence (well save for her back-handed commentary via her discussions with the BL King).
