Bothos enters the Royal Council, his face a shade paler than is in the heat of Egypt.
Greetings friends, I apologise for my late entry, it would seem that the weather of Egypt does not suit me as much as Anatolia.
Reading through the Council notes meticulously Bothos decides to speak a while later.
On the issues of Edict 1.1 and 1.2 I agree with in principal. The Royal Army of the Heir must be marched north immediately as it is the best fighting force the Kingdom currently possesses. I would like to make the request of accompanying Leontiskos Thraikikos or the Kleronomos Basileus, when they take command. I appeal to whoever will take command to be the second in the army.
Edict 1.1 does seem impossible now that the former Chancellor has enlightened us to the proceedings of his reign. I will not support it, unless of course the Basileus removes his proposal in light of further information. I would also ask Eunostos Kypriakos who would be in charge of such a Normarchy in the south? I agree with the idea in principle but such a large tract of land and many cities is almost a Kingdom of itself. I would be very hesitant to let anybody but the most loyal to watch over our southern flank and govern it well, whilst guarding from the barbarous civilisations of southern Africa.
