The Duchal Court, Dovnich
Grand Duke Leopold VII
So, as you all have been informed, a Revolution has broken out in Fornoire, and the Royal Family has fled to Pontilear, our Catholic brothers. The revolution will most likely spread to neighboring countries, the news is already swamped with this news, and the public demands a public speaking. This council will decide Heiligaria's stance on the matter. The floor will open up to Arch Canon Hubert II
Thank you, your majesty. As head of the Heiligarian Catholic Church, we should send word to the Cardinal of Pontilear himself express our distase of their treatment of such secular Protestant heathans. If this would happen in Heiligaria, the king would be exiled into the mountains with no provisions and let God decide what to do with him.
The Arch Bishop Ludwig Vermondt butts in.
Your Holiness, let us not be so rash. We have Fornirians and Pontilearians living in our own country. If wish we wish not to have more radical secular groups at the gates, we should simply convey that the Royal Family are heretics in they eyes of the Heiligarian Catholic Church, but we support the wishings of the Cardinal and his Church. We are already seen as regressive barbarian by the rest of the world, this will be setting us in a deeper pit.
The Chancellor, August von Flusstadt chimed in.
As the legal representation of the Heiligarian public we should first hold a week or so of public hearings at the forum, we should first see through their eyes if we wish not to upset them and light the Flames of revolution in our own country. Do you not remember the Civil War of 1834? The are already uneasy of your policies, my liege. The is a country that goes from being perfect subjects to rebellious, bloodthirsty heathens in a heartbeat.
The Palatine of Scheibe begins.
The Scheibean populace is very uneasy as it is. A far left revolutionary party is protesting in the streets as it is. It has no traction as of now, but if we don't speak to them soon they'll be at my gates. We cannot wait very long, Chancellor, revolution is like noxious gas, and the civilian are exposed.
The General Cheif of Staff, Fritz Makkel then added,
Our spies report that the Greek Imperial Military States are mobilizing for a full scale intervention in the conflict. We should send a heavily guarded emissary to the King expreasing our approval of this action, and state that, for matter of state, we could only aid them with resources and monetary aid, not militarily. But, be warned, if the public hear of this, there will be uproar.
The Grand Duke them proclaimed
We shall send word of our support towards the Greek Military States, but not let the populace know about it. We shall send word of our disproval, but support of the Pontilear Cardinal housing protestant heathens, and we shall hold 5 days of public forums to fabricate a press release that will hopefully keep the revolution from spreading to Heiligaria.
