Bohemond Chanteur :
Standing, looking first towards Marquess Poitevin then towards Count de Lyon.
Mes seigneurs,
I could remain here all day listening to you trading pleasantries if only serious matters didn' need consideration.
Civil war is at our door, ready to rip France in two and throw half its nobility against the other half with no care for the people...
For who will care for the lesser folk while we, fortunate beings that we are, fight each other for the favour of our King...
If we were at peace with our neighbours, I would leave you all to lead your petty feuds to your heart's content but the German wolf is howling at our walls...
While I won't deny the Moorish threat is to be dealt with, it is still distant and could be dealt with in due time once Germany has been brought to heel...
Chaque chose en son temps...
Now, I hope that Count de Lyon's moves were only to call the attention of our King and that he won't go any further in implementing this dangerous plan.
With a brief look towards Prince Louis.
Lastly, I hope our King's own son will not fuel the rivalry between the Houses but will rather attempt to help us all find a peaceful solution to those differences.
J'en ai fini, mes seigneurs.
Sits down, a disgusted look crossing his face.
