I asked for cessation of Hostilities - none were granted. I simply took back what was mine yet I was returned with even more aggression. Had you agreed to focus upon the French and Welsh, things would be different, our Visigothic brothers. At least the French believ in our Republic ideals - we here only of Tyranny and of a "King" amongst you Portmayans. We good Germans and Norsemen refuse, nay, will die, before we answer to another Tyrant again!
