The Royal Council

[kingsnake]

Akakios Euthymios, Strategos Aratos Representative, takes his chance and stands.

"I have recieved an update on the progress of the 1st Syrian Army.

My lord, considering all the problems with Ptolemy and the need of an efficient and quick conquest of Pontus, wishes that any modification to the plans be known to him, immediately, as he is at striking distance. If Aratos is not sent anything, he will engage the war."

The representative, now adds a more grave tone to his voice.

"Finally, Strategos Epilektos Aratos Syriakes manifests, with great respect towards Strategos Arrhenides, his discontent towards Euripedes, for insulting his roots. Calling them "persian scum", was very insulting and not how a true philosopher should behave. Aratos demands a public apology from Euripedes, here at the Council and in Aratos' presence. Additionally, he asks the Basileus, for the immediate expulsion of Euripedes from the Council, forever."

Euthymios looks seriously and directly at Euripedes. "Consider yourself lucky."

Now, turning towards the Council. "This was my master's message." Euthymios bowed his head and sat.
