After a long journey across greece via a fishing vessel in the Aegean Sea Nevoulas ek Philadelphius arrives in Constinantinople and heads immediately to the Magnuara

Completely ignoring the Caeser, Nevoulas walks over to Comes Machonias in a surprising light hearted manner

Hypatios good to see you are well I have not seen you in some time, the people of Rhodes are happy and your settlement is running well I am sure you will be glad to here.

He then turns with a frown and looks toward the Caeser

Your highness let me introduce myself I am Nevoulas ek Philadelphius. My bodyguard are currently 'exiled' on the island of Rhodes and I would like an explanation as to why you would not send a vessel to transport them. I take it from you previous speech that I have done something to dishonor the empire. I take a great offense to this. I watched and waited for nearly 10 years whilst repeatedly sending requests not so much as a response from your administration...
