Imperial Diet V

[OverKnight]

Matthias begins coughing as he hears the news. He fumbles for a small vial and drinks from it.

This is terrible news, Sigismund had shown great skill in leading the campaign against Bran. After all that. . .to be felled by an arrow. The lack of a noble to defend Bran puts the entire opertation in peril. I will think upon what must be done.

Matthias sits back, momentarily overcome by this loss.

[Privateerkev]

Jan is rocked back by the news of Sigismund's death. After regaining his composer, he speaks,

I am truly saddened by the loss of my friend. He was truly one of the best of us. Someone who held up the highest standard of chivalry and honor. We are all weakened by his loss.

Jan sits down heavily in his seat. Visibly upset from the loss.

[Tamur]

A courier comes in with a letter from Fritz von Kastilien, and reads without waiting to be recognised

Noble lords, greetings from the field. I have only just heard of Sigismund's fate and wish to send my sorrow at this news, if it is indeed true. Sigismund has been a rock on which to rely. It will be difficult to move onward without him.

God bless the Reich.

The courier bows and leaves immediately

[AussieGiant]

Arnold smashes his fist into the benches in combination of pain and anger

God damn it!!

Chancellor, my we have a word about this situation in Bran?

[OverKnight]

Feel free to send a messenger, or air you concerns here Duke Arnold

[GeneralHankerchief]

Conrad Salier:

And another good soul is taken from us. Rest in peace, Sigismund.

Arnold

I've sent you a letter Chancellor.

I would like to take commmand of the AHA as soon as possible and simultaneously take out that Hungarian army near Zagreb.

Becker is unknighted, therefore he needs to join with me immediately for assessement.

If the Sicilian's land then we will have to deal with them later.

Breathing slow and deeply after this is the only sign of emotion from the Duke
