"I think everyone in this room would agree with me that three cities is too much, unless we were all to get three cities. And I am against the latter proposal for reason which I will state. If we all share the land then it will lead to fights, which will lead to wars."

''You get the capital of this land, which, I might add may very well be the largest port in the know world.
You say there are nine cities left.
There are three people to split that between, so I am only asking what is duly mine.

You get me wrong, Aidan. It's a land that we all use, yet owned by none. It shall have a great palace where negotiations between kingdoms and empires can take place in safety.
Remember how we had to go to the Byzantines at the beginning of this war. If we made a wrong move, we would be imprisoned and executed, as our good friend Jonathan Moir so nearly found out.
With Sicily, we would not have treaties under fear of death. It may well save your own neck, Aidan.''

"Cut between four people, actually."

''And who is the fourth?
Do not ignore my points on Sicily. I am waiting your response on my explanation.''

"Although he has yet to play a part in this invasion, John Garrow has landed troops to fight Zinedine. And I was not ignoring it. I have taken the stance that nothing you can say will change my mind. My vote has been cast. I find it a terrible idea and Lorenzo and Jonathan will want land for their contributions."

''The war is almost over, and Garrow shall be rewarded, but it was you who said he shall be left with the scraps, but most of my army is dead! I don't want that to be in vain. I stand by what I ask for.
We have both cast our votes, now we wait for our allies.''

Simons archers drew short knives to deal with the Saracen ambushers.

The Saracens were soon defeated but Simon was left with 400 men. The Byzantium commander met them at the gates to the city. "We are preparing to assault the northern part of the island. We need you to sail your ships there and meet up with the army."

Simon's archers loaded themselves onto the 8 remaining warships and started to sail around the back of the island to avoid any Saracen ships.

They spotted a Saracen galleon but it didn't attack. "Sir!" Shouted a man. "Saracen ship sighted! Will we attack?"

Gandalf · Post by **Gandalf** » Sat Apr 21, 2012 4:52 pm

"No, it could be a trap. Avoid the ship and continue along the coast."

They landed in the north. They were met by a Bulgarian. "You are to meet vith ze Byzantium army outside zis city. Zey will direct the attack."

Simon's archers and ships complied. Simon turned his forces over to the Byzantines for the duration of the battle.

''Simon, what are your views on my plans for Sicily?
I know you are Aidan's vassal, and that he holds some sway over you, but you are his vassal, not his slave, remember that. You can have your own ideas.''

Gandalf · Post by **Gandalf** » Sat Apr 21, 2012 10:04 pm

"I think it seems a fair idea, to have a common ground where any can come and go. The only problem is travelling to and from this place, and whether any would try to seize it militarily. Altogether, though it is a good concept."

POMC S117 · Post by **POMC S117** » Sat Apr 21, 2012 10:06 pm

"I think Jonathan and Lorenzo should have the largest say in the matter. They secured Sicily."

Gandalf · Post by **Gandalf** » Sat Apr 21, 2012 10:07 pm

Simon respectfully inclined his head, but didn't say anything. Internally he agreed, however.

Masked Pillow · Post by **Masked Pillow** » Sat Apr 21, 2012 10:10 pm

''I appreciate your support, and I also appreciate your view on the problems, and I have some solutions.
Every nation has access to the coast, no? So they simply take a ships there, and I do understand that it may be a tad tedious, but that is a small price to pay for peace.
No one would dare to capture it. If one nation was to try and capture it, the other five would instantly take up arms against them. No one would dare to fight against those odds.''
''Aidan, I know that they have more sway, I simply wish to know everyone's opinion.''

"But why do we need to use up such an important piece of land? If you were slain in Lorenzo's court, I would go to war with Lorenzo. I wouldn't need some neutral land to decide that!" He argued.

Masked Pillow · Post by **Masked Pillow** » Sat Apr 21, 2012 10:13 pm

''But that still doesn't change the fact that I would be dead!''

POMC S117 · Post by **POMC S117** » Sat Apr 21, 2012 10:13 pm

"I could just as easily kill you on Sicily, neutral land or not."
