President of the Senate Isaakios Komnenos:
Komnenos was watching the Senators cast their votes, unanimous in favor of the resolution in which the Senate declares support to megas domestikos - a thinly veiled political statement regarding their support for the House Dalassenos. He stroke his his beard several times, trying not to smile. It went better then he could have hoped for. Naive aristoi, he thought to himself. Now all I have to do to prove much the influence of Dalassenoi has grown is to point at the Senate and all the aristoi Houses openly backing them. He couldn't ask for a stronger argument with which Komnenoi could persuade others to join them in order to contain ambitious House Dalassenos. And the best part - this time Isaakios allowed himself to smile - was that he didn't even had to trick or manipulate them to do so.

All he had to do was to ask.

He looked at the Red Speaker, who like the rest of them declared himself a supporter of the Dalassenoi. An empty gesture, surely, but what if the Reds will really support the Dalassenoi? This could complicate everything. No, he must try again. He will have no pleasure in dealing with the aristos who disrespected him in such rude manner, that he was certain about. But, Isaakios Komnenos reminded himself, he wasn't doing this for himself nor for his honor nor even for his House.

The voting was coming to an end. Komnenos waved at the bearer of the Fasces and looked at the assembled Senators, their chatter already filling Magnaura.

The day will come when words alone will not suffice. Then we shall see who truly is serving the Emperor.

[Mach Twelve]

so whats the plan from here Czo?

Far East DD hopefully

 

[CzokletMuss]

Special meeting for Reds this weekend (?), Far East DD, next week(end?) next chapter

 

[ThetrueColt]

A special meeting for the reds? What shall they talk about? Different ways of charging frontally into the enemy? This sounds like severe heresy to me

 

[TheAnguishedOne]

Only the Reds? I assume that won't be when Sophia will be brought to the Senate. I had hoped all Senators would be there for that.

 

[Attalus]

I fear that the Synod will end up really bad for us with the Angedouloi provoking another great riot in the Queen of Cities and killing again the Raoul character

 

[Mach Twelve]

I bet it is for the Komnenoi to gain themselves support of a Demes like the Dalessenoi and the Whites...

 

[CzokletMuss]

I bet it is for the Komnenoi to try to gain themselves support of a Demes like the Dalessenoi and the Whites...

FTFY

 

[Serpent]

It would be fun if we could attend the Synod. Maybe Senator Arrius could defend Angelodulism and Colombo and Zetsmrti could speak about their ideas on how to make the communion more realistic .

 

[Mach Twelve]

FTFY

So, can I consider this a confirmation of my theory?

Besides, the Komnenoi have their ways, I don't think they can fail...

 

[Ponce_The_Great]

Poor Komnenoi don't even realize what kind of madness they're trying to control. I'm sure by the end of this meeting we'll have the President of the Senate running around like a mad man ranting about heretics and the Imperial army.

 

[Undead Martyr]

Poor Komnenoi don't even realize what kind of madness they're trying to control. I'm sure by the end of this meeting we'll have the President of the Senate running around like a mad man ranting about heretics and the Imperial army.

By the end?

He hasn't joined the madness already? We must try harder! Our dastardly plan to corrupt the Dynatoi's minds is faltering!
