Conseil du Royaume

[AussieGiant]

Alain turns to the King.

"Zey were left in Wales because someone need to rule the place. Had I known when ze exhange was to take place zen zis would 'ave never 'appened. As it stands ze agreement was made after I left Wales.

I can not read minds!!"

Addressing the council further.

"Ser Christophe maybe correct about de Rochefort and Le Sueur but I believe Ser Raynaud has outlined what I tried to imply before."

Gaining some intensity Alain continues.

"We are using zis excommunication for our own secular gains if we declare a crusade against ze English. Ze rest of Europe will clearly see us as nozing more zan opportunistic devils.

I find it incredible that Ze Order, while saying zey stand for chivalry and honour are simply following zere old custom of following ze King where ever goes and 'oping to gain fuzer favour.

I find it incredible zat a crusade would be used against any ozer nation except ze heathens by an Order wiz such a Charter."

Pausing he strides to the chamber centre.

Do not mistake my words gentlemen, I believe we should use zis opportunity against ze English, but only to make war against zem. We need to take Anger and Bordeaux now!!"

Alain nods at Ser Raynaud and leans against the Bretagne bench.
