Young child. You seem to have quite a lot of misinformation upon making such statements.
1. None of the weaponry aboard either the La Triomphante or Grande Guillotine is Maltese based.
2. Why steal something in which we were never given access to in respect to the agreements passed from your forebears?
Your warnings have been noted young one and taken into account. The only things we have been given are Citizenship of Malta, and the berth of our vessels. Nothing more or less.
So if you wish to continue making baseless accusations, you may do so.
Or.
You can follow through with those before you and work with us in accord.
I am not reapeating myself twice, all cooperation on your project is over. You can name one single reason why perspective to talk and cooperate with gallic talking animals should look attractive? Or why I should keep your citizenship in place? You are even refusing to provide us with samples of the Gallic weaponry and asking for any sort of trust after. There's not a lot of hope for you has left.
I see we have much to discuss just like those before you, in which much has been repeated many times.
To answer your question. Its actually quite simple. You Madamouiselle. You are the reason. Well. Perhaps a different angle in respect is the image you wish to cast yourself upon. Do you wish to fall into the sorts of fallen ones such as the infamous Casta, who I have been told has caused far more damage to Malta than those under my hand ever will? Or do you wish to be seen in the light of some of the greatest Maltanese ever known? Such as Mesieur Jameson, the Contari family, or even the Santini's?
What I offer is the same gift that surprisingly none of those before you have taken, in which I find extremely rude for such. You may review what I have gifted to those before you, such should be easy to find in your databanks. But otherwise my offer in such is simple. Loyalty towards Malta and it's people, in return for the largest sword that Malta may choose to wield. Not even the largest vessel under Malta's flag matches the tonnage that the Grande Guillotine holds, would you rather that we simply be cast out by your will alone? I think not. Your public image would fall faster than a star streaking across the night sky.
Lastly, Project BONAPARTE may have been ended in co-operation with you, but such is meaningless when it's fully completed even without Maltese involvement from this point on. If you wish us to leave, take note that I have been contacted by a few parties privately which have shown interest in our services.
So what will you do? You may be thinking right now that you will lose nothing by casting us out. But. There is the chance that doing so may cast a shadow on your future plans. We may find each other on opposite sides of the board in a time you regret it most. Or. The odds increasing in your favor by having a card in the deck your opponents cannot use. I lose very little in this deal but you could lose far more than you can realize.
We can either be a great sword in your scabbard, or the dagger in your back while you sleep. Take this not as a threat, but an opportunity for you to learn.
I only wonder what exactly in your speach is suppose to impress me? You named some people who I know and even respect, but why do you think it will help you? In which wasy exactly it suppose to work? As I repeatedly said in this particular communication, the Nation of Malta is not going to cooperate on ths project. We have no interest, no technical ability to maintan a Valor class Dreadnought.
Stop wasting my time, you won't get anything from me.
Miss Loyola. With all due respect you state that the nation of Malta has the inability to maintain such a vessel. Then I'm afraid I'm going to have to call you a liar. Because Malta has been for the past...few...years...Way before you came into power.
Has Malta purchased the fuel for the Grande Guillotine to use? Non. We have with a connection that has proven valuable.
Was Malta responsible for the purchase of materials for their reconstruction? Non. We were responsible with the help of mending an old folly.
Is the project in total a threat to Malta? Madamouiselle you make it sound exactly like so.
So. Why would I want anything from you when other parties with Malta want to co-operate with us after your show of insolence and total impudence to this matter?
But. I guess such means nothing now for the people I have stated before, with a generous exclusion of the Santini's, have worked with us. Spared their time. Shared their wisdom. Exchanged wine and bread in co-operation. While you.... spit... in their faces...
And now, you tread on cracked glass in which below leads to nothing more than the tarnishing of your leadership cause of your total dishonoring of past agreements from the great people before you.
Madamouiselle. I, Lord Vulpe Felanis, Have no further reason to speak to you past this point.
I understand your feelings and your position, but I ask you to understand us as well. It's also must be a major disappointment for you, I guess I can forget the incident with your weapon systems to not get it any further.
And yes, I think we are both done here, I wish you all the best.
