The Magnaura

[Andres]

Savvas looks a Veronica

Mylady, I am still suffering from severe injuries from the battle of Corinth, yet I manage to attend this Senate Session.

I take it your husband doesn't take his duties as seriously as I do? That's a disappointment...

Anyway, the reason why I ask to sack cities has been utterly explained by me. Maybe you should re read your notes. I also explained several times why it is even better from a moral point of view, if you would only manage to think on the long term, long term as in "longer than one Megas-term". In order to do so, one must have a vision. As I explained before, the Grandmaster, who surely has the best interest of the Empire in mind, lacks such a vision. So it's not a matter of "knowing how to count money".

I also never said that the law of the land is something to be ignored, please, don't twist my words.

And if Venetians would attack my lands, than I would worry about the Venetians and I wouldn't just assume the Megas is deliberately ignoring my needs. I would send him a letter to ask for help and I would organise my defenses while waiting and I would also prepare for a worst case scenaria in case the Megas cannot help or cannot send me help in time, instead of wasting time travelling back and forth between the frontline and Constantinople, to plead in the Magnaura for my personal needs.

I would be more dedicated to the Empire itself and less dedicated to my own personal gains...

You will also remember that I plea for a war against the Order of the Knights Templar, who are without allies. These Knights are a great annoyance for the Order and they would gain a strategical advantage if they would defeat the Knights' Templar. Isn't it ironic, that the so called "foe of the Order of St John" has actually made a proposal that would hugely benefict said Order?

And as for inter House issues, if there is one person who tries to arrange agreements between the Houses by extensively working behind the scenes, that it's me.

You should ask you husband about this. Maybe you could mention a certain matter of the utmost delicacy while talking to him about certain actions behind the scenes.

Savvas sits down again.
