It was obvious it was going a tough day at the Senate. The merchants were furious. It was them who still wielded the real power in Venice.
Now a new COT had opened in Cyprus and they had gone mad. "What is the doge going to do about this ?" - one cried. "He is in China" - was the answer.
"In China ? Maybe he should think more about the Mediterranean sea - where we are supposed to control the trade!" cried one Merchant. "Cyprus and Andalucia" - cried another.
Soon, everybody was crying "Cyprus and Andalucia!".
One of the member of the Council of Ten then asked "But what about Venice's reputation ?". Everybody laughed.
To conquer Cyprus and Andalucia, Venice is allowed to get a bad reputation
