Diplomacy: Neutral. We ask, in memory of our past friendship, for you to turn from your present course in relation to Bretonia. Sadly, this is our last request and if Bretonia asks for our assitance we will honor our historic heritage and come to our Cousin's call.
My regards and prayers,

I will defer to Nebotuda on your request. I have had some insights into this "friendship" you speak of. I find it in retropect to have been manipulative and self-serving to the interests of the Southern Alliance. Where has your alleged friendship been when hordes of Blood Dragons and Stone Sisters have recently poured down upon us from the north?
Your veiled threat only serves to prove that Bretonia is losing the war, and is desparate for an infusion of allies. The SF can barely contain the new threats coming at then from Dublin and the Omegas, let alone from the Blue Lagoon.
Further, the thought of you bringing your "lardass" big tubs into the Taus to engage the KNF brings some amusing pictures to my mind. From recent reports, your once balanced and formidable fleet is so top-heavy and bulbous that the ice and rocks of the Taus would quickly have you mired and muddled.
But, as I stated, Nebotuda-Taisho speaks for the Emperor. I merely speak gently in Taisho's ear.
