As predictably as a broken clock, al-Malik reverts to his usual behavior once again. In clear violation of the truce his forces have once again invaded one of my worlds. This time he was invading Malignatius.
My noble peers! The foul mouth of Li Halan sprouts slander upon our House again!
Fifty years ago, we have claimed Malignatus and have settled there. Soon afterwards, the Li Halan invaded this planet(which is ok, mind you - such is life) and have destroyed almost all of our forces stationed there. The few remaining legions escaped on a boat and have taken shelter in the inhospitable wastes, doomed to roam the frozen seas and icy deserts, for the hateful Chi Kao have refused Us the right to evacuate our loyal troops.
Today, as some daring explorer spotted one of our survivors, the Li Halan feels in right to call us invaders, even though Our forces maintained continuous presence on Malignatus throughout all those years.
How dare they try and gain acceptance of other houses for their evil ways by painting Us as the very same villains that they are?
No doubt this foolish adventure is part of some more elaborate plan involving the elections. Whatever this plan is, we can only hope that our fellow nobles do not give al-Malik the power to start yet another bloody struggle. Li Halan has already offered a status quo ante bellum peace and will continue to extend this offer. Do not give the mad dog the ability to make this another bloody conflict by whatever scheme he had to exploit the imperial offices for his own thuggish ends.
Two things:
1. The decade which passed under my Regency was the most peaceful one of all. I'd dare and call this period of time "Pax Palazzia".
2. Paranoid!
