Having maintained silence through the burst of activity Arnold finally stands to speak.

So gentlemen,

I believe we are done here, with only one final point to be resolved in my mind before I swear fealty.

If Hans can come forth and pronounce his fealty to Siegfried von Kastilien then I believe all men here and abroad will be satisfied.

And for the record scribe...

Arnold looks to the Diet Speaker

...please note that the affront made by Hans previously has been resolved to my satisfaction and the one made by Jan von Hamburg through that sack of shiet Tueton over there has not been resolved.

I've done nothing to warrant such affront to my honour on my name by Jan von Hamburg or his proxy clown Teuton.

Let the record show that if the Teuton wants to come into the Reich's Diet Chamber and act like a fool then he should remember that he is neither a Lord of this Realm or a person able to make claims or comments to other such Lords of the Reich. As a Duke I even out rank his master.

I'd suggest he retracts his statement or I'll be forced to take measures.

And before anyone else chimes in I'd like to it noted that I didn't insult anyone until I was insulted first!!!

THE KAISER IS DEAD....

Arnold sits waiting for Hans to appear.
