Summer Court Petitions

[unleashthefuhrer]

Who: Bradley, Nobunaga and any petitioners to the throne
What: Begging boons and favors from the Imperial Rulers
When: During summer court
Where: The throne room of the Imperial Palace

Bradley was NOT pleased to see Nobunaga, not Mitsunari taking up the position beside him. Mitsunari was a weak fool, but he was no threat. Nobunaga was dangerous, Bradley had little doubt Nobunaga had already left the brush-headed fool in a ditch somewhere, and seeing the man so dangerously close to the throne was displeasing. He would have to be dealt with.

Straightening in his seat, he exhaled and looked forward. Today, he would need to focus on the petitions before him, plenty of time to deal with Nobunaga later.

Thomas bows his head, suitably intimidated by the two figures before him but he swallows and works up his nerves.

"I do not wish to ask for more then The Nameless States needs, but unfortunately due to attacks upon the land in the last several months the States are lo-low on manpower to attend to our irrigation and crops and the likelihood of a shortage is high. I request that if the Empire is able to that food could be delivered for the winter, or workers could be found to work the fields. I fear my people may starve if something doesn't change."

"We would never turn our backs on our brothers and sisters in the Nameless States," Bradley says with a smile. "I will increase the troops in the railroad construction and begin moving food into the Nameless States. If the railroads can be completed by Winter, we will continue to have means to move them through."

He pauses for a moment.

"While this is the honor and duty of the Empire, it should be known that such service does not come free. This aid is made possible by the men and women of other Kingdoms within the Empire. What will the Nameless States do in exchange?"

Thomas breathes out slowly. He was afraid of this. "We have many of our Karayan horses - which o-of course are considered the best cavalry steeds in all Dagaria - we can give these fine horses, and of course favorable trade agreements..." He trails off slowly.

There's a loud cough from the Prince of Zeon nearby at the mention of 'best cavalry steeds in all of Dagaria', but he doesn't speak.
