Andreas Hummel storms into the Diet, clearly angry.
Finally I have the chance to have some justice! I will have mein case heard!
Turning to Prinz Leopold, he thundered on.
Are you so omniscient, mein Prinz, that you so casually disregard the intentions of your father, the Kaiser, regarding the bestowal of his daughter's hand? Or are you simply interested in gaining a new crony to maintain some of your now diluted influence?
I was promised by your father the hand of Princess Agnes for mein faithful service in his cause. And this is how I am treated! I waited for years waiting for mein bride to arrive, and still no word came. Until last year word came to mein attention that without so much as a by-your-leave, she had been married off to the young upstart Duke of Bavaria! Is this how mein loyalty is to be repaid? By broken promises and insults?
I will have mein grievances addressed. I appeal to mein rightful liege, Heinrich, Kaiser of the Romans, to hear mein complaints and right the wrongs which I have suffered!"
