Re: The Magnaura
The Basileus reenters the Magnaura. Oddly, his shoes are a bit dirty.
Balance has been a recurring theme presented in this Session. Yet there seems little of it to be found among accussations and wordplay.
We must find a way to go forward. To keep what we have gained intact. To make sure we do not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Aleksios pauses, he looks very tired.
It is clear that Makedonios Ksanthopoulos was the selection of the majority of Senators, if not the most powerful. Now it appears we also have some unorthodox manuevering of oaths as well in order to influence the second round of voting, which I'm not sure is legal in this situation.
With all this in mind, I intend to change my vote. I endorse Makedonios Ksanthopoulos for Megas Logothetes. The Empire would be best served by a Megas who has the support of the majority of the Senate behind him.
I mean this as no insult to Senator ek Militou. His repulsion of the Egyptian invasion was masterful, and I value his service to the Empire.
I hope the Grandmaster can live up to his rhetoric.
