The Royal Council

[The Celtic Viking]

Hilarion sighs and shakes his head.

"Mardakou, I am not lord Sarpedon, but I am still his representative here in the Council and that garners some respect from you. I do not have to sit here and take your sarcasm."

Hilarion turns to Alexandros' messenger.

"It has absolutely nothing to do with the manner the city was taken, and I do not wish to repeat myself on that over and over again, so I will simply refer you to the scribes' scrolls as for the real reasons. You would find that your objections are turned to the wrong person altogether."
