Imperial Diet

[Kagemusha]

Fifth Elector of Swabia sends his Congratulations on the Duke Of Franconia!

"The word has reached me of the brave victory in Hamburg! I will send my best regards to man in charge of the succesfull assault and would also like to congratulate becouse of your marriage to our dear and beutifull Princess.

Hail Dietrich the Duke Of Franconia!"

Fifth Elector of Swabia

[pevergreen]

Well done Dietrich, I commend you on your assault. Now, I ask, what was your personal body count? I hope it was high, because I plan to get a few.
Whos up for a challange? Most personal kills by us and our bodyguard!

[Lucjan]

I thank everybody for their congratulations and good wishes. Especially Prinz Henry for his blessings. It has always been an honor to serve.

[OverKnight]

Otto von Kassel enters the Diet chamber and addresses the assembly:

Hamburg is ours! Glory to the Reich on our victory, may it be the first of many!

Congratulations to Steward von Saxony, not only has he taken a castle but a wife as well. Most efficient my lord! I hope you remember my words to the Third Elector.

I also wish the Kaiser luck in his siege of Florence and congratulations on the growth of his family. Reinforcements are ready at Innsbruck if he needs them. I'm sure our new allies would not mind if we used their roads, particularly if they didn't see us do it.

God has smiled upon us and our endeavors my lords!

[Ituralde]

Conrad von Schüsselen looked his usual composed self, which nearly made one forget his outburst on the Diet's floor during the last Voting. With news of conquest from the north and Siege from the south he seems content enough to rise and speak to the Assembly:

Dear Electors,

First I want to apologize for my recent ouburst. It seems that my temper got the better of me. Although I regret my harsh words their implicatons still mirror my convictions.

A slight look of Challenge appears on his face

I would also like to add my congratulations to our Duke Dietrich von Saxony. His brave attack on Hamburg castle has surely earned him this title along with the hand of the Imperial princess.
I'm also glad to hear of the new addition to the Imperial familiy, may young Elsebeth become at least as beautiful as Agnes and find a husband whose bravery and wisdom matches that of Dietrich von Saxony.

Although it pains me to be here, while our dear Kaiser finally brings Florence to his heels, I wish him swift progress in his ongoing siege. May he not forget the suggestions offered on this floor and continues his reign as Chancellor as successfully as he has begun it.

[Dutch_guy]

May I too, albeit somewhat late, congratulate Dietrich on his well deserved, and fought, victory.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Kaiser Heinrich: Yes, congratulations to Dietrich on his splendid accomplishments at Hamburg. He is now the proud husband of Agnes, as well as Duke of Franconia.

I will not say too much until an official report is put out, but Florence is now ours and Metz will soon fall.

Elector Mandorf, I request that you set the tax level in Nuremberg to very high instead of its previous level of high. Currently money is rather tight and public order is at a very healthy 165%. I do not believe the peasants will mind giving a little extra to help out the Empire.

I await your response.
