Re: Imperial Diet III
Standing in silence Arnold takes some moments before speaking. At his side hangs the sword of his father. Behind him is Gerhardt von Schenk and an advisor.
My father was a proud and sometimes ruthless man.
As a son to Kaiser Heinrich, a brother to Kaiser Henry, a father to me and a leader to all, I will remember him as a true Knight of the Reich.
King Otto has avenged my father and I extend my personal thanks and that of all Austrian's both noble and low born.
Austria has taken two heavy blows in the space of a very short time, but I can assure there will be no weakness shown to any foe of the Reich.
The Hungarians will unfortunately feel the wrath of my loss and wonder why god has forsaken their country. I intend on expelling them from my borders and striking at the heart of their empire.
In the east Lord Zirn will continue upholding Austria presence and representation of our noble house.
Lords, gentlemen, Austria has a new Duke and I intend to ensure my father is proud of what is to be accomplished under my rule.
