Chancellor Sigismund der Stolze yawns, and stands up to address the Diet.

I must congratulate Count Otto von Kassel on his commendable performance against the city of Milan. He fought well for the Reich.

Sigismund turns to the Kaiser.

Mein Kasier, I have not forgotten you. I know how much you loath these Milanese traitors, therefore I am sending you against Genoa. I know that under your command Genoa will fall.
