So you cannot see how it will deny us land, but you do see how it will rob us. How delightfully ironic.Monomachos, by giving that land to the Basileus to do with it as he sees fit, I cannot see how it will deny that land to any House...
True, it might rob your House of that coveted land...
I'd prefer the Emperor speak in his own name, thank you very much. This appeal to authority is yet another rhetorical device which is simply a tactic and nothing more.If the Basileus does not see fit to grant it to your House but I would trust the judgement of our Overlord to use that land as best benefits our Empire.
I am not a fool to be cowed by rhetoric. Let the Emperor speak for himself and stop acting as if you were him.
More red herrings. Since your own allegiances don't enter into the discussion, why do mine?Moreover, your own allegiances are not so clear. Do your House have any guarantee that you will not break your oath once Dyrrakhion is taken and bring it to the Tepaki House to which you seem to also have pledged your "future" allegiance ?
Stop changing the subject and address my point. You seek to deny my house and my right to claim lands for the empire and for my house. Plain and simple. Don't dare weasel out of it.
