Crusader Kings [Concluded]

[seireikhaan]

You presume quite a lot, Duke of Connaught. First, the Bishop is not of my domain. I collect no taxes from the land, and the soldiers I cannot conscript. Further, myself and Duke Diamondeye have made no secret agreements behind closed doors. All that has been discussed has been in the public forum for all. My proposal to protect Mide from aggressors was just that- in the event we and the Church could not agree to a timely conclusion to this matter. Thus, we could prevent an unnecessary violent resolution to the matter. But if you wish to see it through the lens of conspiracy, I suppose that is your right, even if misguided. However, I fail to see how your offer to the Duke's daughter is, frankly, in any way different than from Duke Diamondeye's. You both have offered your hand to the young lady, even though she lacks any right of inheritance. Does that not make you equally scheming?
