Order of St. John II

Vartholomaios frowns

The Order of St. John has alwaus been loyal to the lawful Basileus as it is now loyal to the Emperor Ioannis. What troubles we had with the Komnenius of the same name were his own doing. We have long worked with the Tagaris', I even participated in the Egyptian crusade with old Methodios the Conqueror.

So rest assured Iosef that your loyalty to the Basileus does not conflict with your desire to make yourself useful to the Order.

Now, do you have anything more specific in mind? I understand that you have a desire to fight the Turks? I have little troops to give you but of land I have plenty. That is only for the members of the Order, though.

"To learn the ways of God, one must serve. So serve I will. Though I'd gladly want to be of service to the order, I have one question left to ask: What will the order to when Emperor Ioannis rides to destroy the usurpers, and will I be allowed to ride along side him, no matter my duties to the order?

I want to save the Empire from the Turks, but not while letting the empire rot from within."

I will ride with the Basileus myself. You are welcome to join our company. But now I shall retire to my chambers. The servants will prepare your accommodations, we shall speak again on the morrow.

As Vartholomaios is leaving he turns around once more

You speak like a religious man, yet keep the company of a false priest. That man is not welcome under our roof.

"If give up I must, then he will go. If you will accept me, thy shall have me."
