Re: Imperial Diet VI
A message arrives from Matthias Steffen:
The loss of Kaiser Siegfried is regretful. He was a good man who made poor decisions. Kaiser Elberhard compounds this folly by continuing a failed policy of appeasement towards a lesser nation.
While he and King Jan abandon Outremer, I will not. I have already stated my reasons for doing this and will not bore any of you by repeating them. If Outremer is given to the Greeks, we will double the size of their Empire, and we have already given them Iconium and Sofia. This is not negotiation, it is robbery.
I again ask the Dukes to call an Emergency Session to put a halt to this farce.
I wish Duke Hans good luck in his investigation. I hope his skills as an investigator have improved from when he was trying to dig up dirt on Kaiser Siegfried in his attempt to supplant him as Emperor. In hindsight I wish he had been successful.
What of the Assassins Guild? Have we talked to them? I remember they threatened the lives of our Generals near the end of my last term. Steward Elberhard also refused them a Master Guildhouse in Stettin recently. Of course since the Duke is a skilled investigator, I'm sure he's already considered it. I am also sure his investigation will be completely impartial and free of any political machinations.
