The Royal Council

[Celtic_Punk]

"I never said you were corrupt. Far from it. I merely wished to push forward a precautionary measure to avoid the possibility of you walking down an all to dark path. I never meant to make it sound like I meant you were corrupt. Other... individuals may be suspect however. And even your highness is not free from their influence. Alas, I wish you not to see my Charter amendment as a threat, for it is nothing like that at all. Consider it as a... way of keeping good men honest. I hope you do not take what I said about the your rule as an attempt at removing your power. But you must accept that the size of the empire requires more autonomy amongst satraps. This could help patch things with the Babylonians. Anyway we can repair this situation before it comes to battle could be a good thing. I do not say we accept their independence. By no means should you either. Cunobelinus sighs I am not a political man. This is really your realm, highness. But I still had to come here and try. My words are clumsy and blunt. You forget this and take me too literally...
