((Private: Mars))
Your Majesty, if I may be so bold, I would contest that my appointments have been arbitrary or in any way, shape, or form injurious to the Royal Judiciary; I have, without fail, sought to appoint loyal and trustworthy men, men of high calibre and unquestionable loyalty to the Crown and to the Divinely appointed Sovereign. I will concede, of course, that many are members or associated with the Royalist League, but that is an incidental factor - it just so happens that the Royalist League holds to the divine right, the notions of blessed autocracy, and the moral absolutism of the Sovereign tantamount as well. Thus, I can find no true bias, save for a bias towards preserving the monarchical status quo and preserving a good and righteous order.
My successor to the Grace and Justice Secretariat, however, took an exceptionally partisan tone, favouring those of his party above absolute loyalty to the Crown; thus, I rejected them without pause, and instead supported those with the aforementioned traits of loyalty and monarchical virtue - these were opposed by Senor Fernandez, though he did, ostensibly attempt to present an olive branch, which I courteously and graciously accepted on the condition that monarchists be preferred. It was then that Fernandez, quixotically, reversed his position and began - again - a wholesale appointment of Yellows over trusted and honest monarchists, those who typify the values of this regional party over those that champion the values that have been state policy since the reign of Your Royal Grandfather.
I will, of course, accept Your final decisions, but I believe that the present portrait painted of me by Senor Fernandez is highly innaccurate.

The Marquis de Pontevedra, after hearing of increasing violence in the north, begins preparations to step in to ensure this does not escalate needlessly; he similarly commissions an investigation over the disappearance of U.H. Etxeberria. He requests from the War Secretariat that troops be made available in the off-chance that such forces are needed to effectively pacify the region.
