I wish to publicly thank Duke Ansehelm for my appointment. I hope to carry it off with as much heroism as our father did.

And I thank you greatly Sigismund and Jan for your consoling words. You are true friends.

That said, I agree with you wholeheartedly Jan. I will not pound my fist on the table today, but the Danes cannot be allowed to continue such acts.

It will be some time before this Diet meets again to determine policy. Until then I will be as the slave of the ancient Scipios, whispering into your ears after dinner, Arhus delenda est. Such behaviour cannot go unpunished.
