Iakovos was chided for his actions and he apologized. If the Emperor or Caesar wish for him to pay a higher penance, they will say so and he will be expected to obey it.

Since I am responsible for him, I will apologize to you good sir for the actions of my vassal.

Makedonios stands up and walks across the chambers to Kantakouzinos.

I am sorry that one of my members struck you. It will not happen again.

Makedonios extends his hand.
