Stainless Steel 6.4 Hotseat - Wrath of the Khan 2

[slysnake]

The Imperial Ambassador stands to make an announcement to the other emissaries:

"My Holy Emperor would like to announce to the Kings and Queens of Europe and the near East that our Kingdom, the Western Roman Empire, has decided to sever all relations - both alliance and trade rights - with the Moors from this day onward. Such treaties will be officially be ended when a diplomat can be sent to verify our decision with a Moorish representative."

The Ambassador coughs to clear his throat, and speaks sternly to the Moorish emissary:

"I do not have to explain my Emperor's motives, as I am sure your own King is very much aware of them. Cancel your claims for all current French lands and pull back your armies - they belong in the far east where the real men of god are currently fighting to protect our good and kind-hearted liberties. Nations do not mistrust each other because they are armed; they are armed because they mistrust each other. If your King mistrusts us, I ask why your own men sit on the French borders whilst the other nations of Europe are now sending their armies east?"

Turning to face the other emissaries, smiling at the French ambassador whilst doing so, makes another announcement in his bellowing voice:

"I now urge all other leaders in Europe to follow in my footsteps and to consider canceling any trade rights they have with the Moors. I do wish to make it clear though, that, should the Moors renounce any claims they may have to French lands, all trade rights and general friendly relations between our nations and the Moors should be restored to it's former self."

He turns back to the Moor, his face looking rather solemn:

"You have my word on that."
