To Hadrianos Ramul,
His Imperial Majesty Caesar Augustus Autokrator Markos III Angelos decided to allow you and your hoi polloi to gather in the Neptune's Hall of Boukoleon in the Sacred Palace – a decision I opposed, but which I will obey. Iesus Kristos alone knows why sacred Emperor – long may he reign – thinks that you and your band of upstart commoners and merchants should be granted an undeserved privilege of being allowed to these ancient halls. The Boukoleon is not a place for a lowlifes like you to spend time and delude yourself with illusions of importance, and neither is Great Hall of Magnaura. Not by your virtues, not by your deeds and nor by your birth you were honored with the title of Senator. Truly we live in a dark times when the unwashed are asked for an advice before the high-borns of truly noble and glorious Houses. But who am I to question the will of His Imperial Majesty? As a humble servant of the sacred Emperor I'm giving you the Neptune's Hall for this day to use freely. You'll have slaves at your disposal and guardsmen to protect you while you are getting drunk, which I'm sure will be the only outcome of this gathering. If you need anything my good servant Ioannes will provide it for you – alas, even he can't turn pigs into horses and merchants into aristoi. I ask only two things of you. Firstly, to not bother me during your drinking party – as a Praefectus of Konstantinoupolis I have much more important issues to deal with than whatever you and your inebriated companions come up with. Secondly, although cutlery and tableware alike are made of precious metals, they are – like the whole Sacred Palace – a property of the Emperor himself. Therefore don't even think of stealing silver forks or spoons, which I'm sure your greedy Pisan eyes have already noticed as soon as you entered the Neptune's Hall.
May Saint Markos give me strength to deal with commoners.
Signed,
Maximos Komnenos
Yes.{Am I allowed to have pen and paper again? Gaius likes to draw.}
Sorry but no, only approved Senators may join the iAAR. I may extend the Senate from 24 to 30 seats in the future though.Is it possible if I could be not a senator, but perhaps just a noble who has a tendency to take records of his life?
