    Right, I'll get right on that.
    Jens Herden turns his back to the emissary, and faces the Kaizer.

    My Lord, Our forces should secure control of th city in question next season, as such, I would like to ask where ownership of it shall fall. While I would of course rejoice in claiming it myself, it is ultimately your decision.

    Ernst frowns.

    Herr Herden, as I'm sure you have not forgotten you are not part of the landed gentry yet and unless the Kaiser (or indeed the Prinz) wishes to make you so you are not eligible to claim conquered land. As it is your liege's army you are leading, unless the Kaiser wishes to create a new Duchy or keep the city for his own demesne, by rights it should form part of the Duchy of Osterreich.

    I assume by this request you are simply displaying ignorance and not outright treachery to your liege the Prinz.

    Still, you would be advised to keep your ambitions to yourself lest you enrage your lord.

    To the intruder.

    Sir, I know not how you slipped past the guard but only the Kaiser is empowered to conduct diplomacy on behalf of the Reich. I suggest you make your approach to him through the proper channels and refrain from shouting your threats here.

    The Hungarian prisoner translates the response for the Turkish ambassador, who replies to the Hungarian. The prisoner speaks.

    "What guards? I've been to a dozen settlements in this land looking for whoever is in command. I finally make it to the heart of your empire..."

    The Turk notes the obvious signs of recent carnage

    "....such as it is, and I can find no one worth speaking to. Is there no one left with any authority who speaks on your behalf? The Sultan's messenger will not be ignored this way! Sultan Jalal will be most displeased to hear of this disrespect! You have been warned!"

    In a huff, the Turk exits the assembly, dragging the Hungarian prisoner behind him.

    Oh, I apologize, it was out of ignorance. I was merely displaying my desire to one day have a city to call my own, I assumed that doing so would still be fully within my role in the Osterreich, and that the city would simply be my home base of operations.

    Please rest assured my Lord, I have no desire to leave the Osterreich.

    Jens smiles as he watches the Hungarian being dragged off by the Turk
    As annoying as these Turks seem to be, at least they know how to treat a Magyar.

    Kaiser Heinrich:

    Pages! I have an assignment for you. Scour the city for that Seljuk representative who has just... graced... us with his presence. Tell him that if he wishes to conduct diplomatic business of any sort with us, he may return here and wait to be received by the Kaiser, who is unilaterally in charge of the empire and who will not be suffered to see his Electors treated in a such a manner as what just happened.

    Prinz Leopold arrives to a fanfare.

    Mein Kaiser and good Electors,

    I bring the joyous news that Innsbruck has been returned to the bosom of the Reich and good Duke Becker avenged. I have commissioned a statue in his honour which will stand at the gates of the fortress in memorial.

    I have withdrawn my forces to the plain south of Nuremburg lest I be caught in a trap like the Bavarian before me. Also I should like to be closer to Osterreich in case things turn awry, with several Magyar armies of varying sizes threatening Budapest and Wien.

    Our spies in the east indicate that the Magyar have built a sizeable force at Bran which no doubt they will send our way, unless it is to be used to defend against the Turkish threat...there are further forces at Sofia and just west of the city.

    I should like to formally petition the mighty and noble Kaiser that Budapest, Innsbruck and Nuremburg should be granted to the Duchy of Osterreich. In the first two cases by right of conquest and in the case of Nuremburg to formalise the arrangement which is currently in place.

    I await the Kaisers judgement in such matters.

    He inclines his head respectfully.

    Theodericus stands up and claps his hands.

    "Well done, Prinz Leopold! Very well done, indeed. I congratulate you on this success of yours!"

    "Now, I have a brief question and a request from my side. Firstly, what's the status of that spy you promised me? Secondly, to raise that cavalry for you, I need to liberate Magdeburg first. I have come into contact with a band of mercenary spearmen who can help me do this job. I ask for your permission as the Marshal to hire these men for this purpose, out of my own pocket."

    The Prinz.

    Your spy is headed towards Brandenburg. Unfortunately he was used for a quick scouting mission to the south and is one season's march behind where he would have been, but he is now at the river crossing north of Vienna and you may command him from there. Apologies for the delay good Margrave...

    I assumed the cavalry would be required for the defence of your ancestral seat - but it would be greatly appreciated if you could send them on their way once they are no longer needed.

    You have my permission as Marshall to hire whatever mercenaries you require, of course.
