Re: Imperial Diet III
A blood soaked Teutonic Knight enters the diet.
"I bring a message from my Master Count Von Mahren."
"I have no words. All is ashes. Durazzo is ours and the Venetians defeated,but this is just shadows and dust. The worst what can happen to a father have happened to me. My eldest son Erhart Von Mahren found his destiny near the walls of Durazzo. Fighting like a lion he came to our rescue when our lines were faltering but he never had the chance to witness our victory,nor me to know my son. I have knighted Count Arnold for his bravery in the battlefield. Now it is time for me to leave the army and bury my son. The messenger has Erhards still bloody sword with him to give to Kaiser,for my son payed the ultimate prize giving his life in the service for the reich."
The Knight places the sword on Erhart´s empty chair and leaves.
