Imperial Diet II

Again, I must state that you are misinformed Count der Stolze. I understand that the wording of the standard treasury report can be confusing, but the entry titled "profit" does not reflect where the treasury will stand next year. I assure you, at the beginning of the year we will have approximately 8,500 florins to spend on the various needs of the Reich. The "profit" line merely indicates how much more we will be receiving next year than we did at the beginning of this year. We will be making 500 florins more next year than this year, for a total income of approximately 8,500 florins.

Franconian messenger enters the Diet,carrying a letter from Duke of Franconia. Messenger reads:

"Greetings from the Polish front Mein Herren!
I would like to inform the Diet,that affairs here in North are developing well. Our forces have opened supply routes behind the Ducal army,thanks to Count Von Kastillien. Also messengers are coming both from North and South telling that our reinforcements are marching towards the Ducal army. In this situation, i would like to give my heartfull thanks to Chancellor Mandorf,who has done excellent job, doing what he promised. Im sure that soon Magdeburg will be ours.

Duke of Franconia

Dietrich Von Saxony"

5th elector of bavaria stands firmly

Men my dear chancellor is correct. We will have the available funds to repel the French. However we must stop the squabling. I say this to all those who worry. Stop!. Create solutions and stop worrying about problems. Every country has problems. You think Scipio Africanus was worried when Hannibal stood at the door steps of Rome. Now there was a problem and we all know what happened to Carthage. We will receive our funds and put an end to the girly French. They are not like men of true Romans. God is on our side and the eagle flies high. We shall create our armies and sack their cities and then your worries about money will be gone. I have faith in mein chancellor. Don't you all? If not faith in the chancellor surely you have faith in Him that he will not let our empire fall.

Sits angered

*The sound of Church bells and wailing women fills the air. A messenger rushes in and whispers into the ear of an Elector near the back of the room. He gasps and his face goes white. An unspeakable tragedy has occurred.*

Kaiser Heinrich:

This Diet is to observe a short period of mourning for the terrible death of Sigismund der Stolze.

He was an honorable man, good Chancellor, and terrific fighter. He has done nothing but good for the House of Swabia and the Reich as a whole. I am honored to have called him an Elector and a friend. Certainly he would have not approved of his manner of death.

Of course his death must be avenged. I urge Chancellor Mandorf to refit my army immediately so that I may march to France and enact terrible retribution.
