The symbolism was lost on no one that the Palace stood at the center of religion, power and the people. Inside the Palace, Imperator Lucious Volus Titus sat upon his throne as his elite Imperial Guard stood around him, just yesterday the senate had met to discuss all major issues and presented several solutions to the problems. The first was to deal with the current money problem, it was easily dealt with a tax increase. All the other listed items however would require planning and preparations, luckily with his holiness offer for a summit time would be alloted for things to unfold. As the Imperator was telling his scribes what to write in response to his holiness’s invitation a messenger quietly walked in and delivered a letter to the Imperator. “The Doge did what! The fool he wishes to cut us off from the outside world well then we’ll have something to discuss at the meeting, also send word to our colonial armies make sure they are prepared, never know when a border incident may come by accident.” “Now, to his holiness” [Hider= Redcliffian Reply to the invitation] To his Holiness Invictus XI The Mighty Arms of the faith will of course most humbly accept your invitation and in fact commend your initiative to see the forthcoming conflict in the east. With that being said, I Imperator Lucious will send a personal representative my son Vornus Romulus Titus to the meeting as things of great importantance are occuring that require my personal attention. [i] signed Lucious Volus Titus [/i] [/hider] “I think that sounds excellent emperor, now, what about to General Melezio Pullo Parenti, with the conflict in the east surely you’ll want to address him?” Pasco the imperator personal servant asked. “Ah yes, inform him to gather his forces just in case. But we don’t wanna be seen as the aggressors not yet atleast. Now I believe it’s time to pray to his all mighty.”
