Re: Conseil du Royaume
Leaning forward the ever smiling and ironically amused young Duc says in a quiet voice.
"'aving received reliable reports over ze past few hours I 'ave to agree wiz Duc de Champagne.
de Rethel has, or should I say, 'ad a death wish. ze dueling line is long and for good reason.
Turning to de Champagne.
"By ze way Duc de Lorraine, good showing on ze bridge and well done in taking Staufen. Zat should hold ze southern border for a few seasons."
Turning to an administrator of the Seneschal Office he begins to discuss planning deployment options, he turns back to the council in general.
"If you could all please make further requests for troops that would be just splendid?
At least in this way I will have requests from all twenty nobles, the four houses, the Order plus the King and Dauphin.
Tapping his chin with exaggerated thought he continues.
"I should probably send a note to Her Highness in Rome to see if she requires a regiment to guard her. I need not descriminate."
