"That changes absolutely nothing, my dear friend. You are still a hypocrite because you want Legio I kept down so that your men shouldn't feel they are in weaker Legio, but have no shame in proclaiming how you want to make Legio II stronger than Legio I, completely ignoring that my men may not like that Legio II is stronger than Legio I. You speak of equal strengths while attempting to make Legio II the strongest. That is why I will not put what you asked for in my edict.

Oh, and by the way, I see no reason to call a spade anything else than a spade, so until Blasio becomes something else, I will treat him for what he is."
