And I join the Byzantine Empire! Just in time for the Byzantine Emperor to suck me dry of all my bodily fluids! I mean income! Yes, income.
And since I'm in the Byzantine Empire now, I declare war on all those little Arab shiekdoms that stretch from Syria to the Caspian Sea!
Meanwhile Petros von Habsburg, the prodigal Count of Al Amarah, battles for his life!
Fear not, Petros, for help is on the way!
And don't worry! When the Arabs breach the gates of your Medium Castle you and your ridiculously high-statted children can come live with your uncle Stefan in Abydos! And then he will make sure to defeat those mean Arabs and take back Al Amarah with an army led by himself this time so that he could give it to someone who
won't take all of his high-stat children with him! Sound good?
Aww.
Oh and a funny note here. I thought that this offer would
give me 331 ducats, not take it away from me! So in haste I eagerly consented. Boy what a silly little mistake!
Well I guess the stewardess didn't think it was so silly.
Very well. My new Steward is Hugo von Habsburg, Stefan's nephew and husband to my Spy Mistress!
Well the armies of Byzantium sure have piled upon Tell Bashir with gusto!
