''Then tell me, why shouldn't I declare myself King?'' You asked

''Legal technicalities, as per usual, although Greifswald was never under the crown of Mozolavia but Vollingen was and in theory still is. As it was enfeoffed to the order by King Boleslaw III to ensure that someone could tame the land that legally belonged to him. King Kazimierz could interpret that with the conquest of Greifswald that the status of Greifswald as a region apart from Vollingen had ended and that legally speaking he is still the rightful liege lord of all the orderstate. He has not acted upon his ambitions because of the unruly voivodes but you declaring yourself king would give Kazimierz something to rally them around. As he would present it as a threat and an insult to him and his dignity'' He explained

''As for the holy council they consider elavating anyone to the rank of King or above to be a privledge reserved to themselves. This usually means that to proclaim a new kingdom you would have to bring a lot of good arguments to the table, or a lot of money. And I do mean a lot of money. The amount you won’t have until you have plundered multiple dwarf holds. In short, unless you can convince a council that is currently doing its best trying to kill each other and attempting to prevent the three monarchs from purging them from Portemosa. I suppose you might try your luck later when the situation has been stabilized but for I don’t think it would be the best of actions.''

''Perhaps declaring myself as Duke or Prince would be more smooth?'' You asked.

''Yes'' He said, his face deep in thought '' Yes that would in theory work. It wouldn't threaten the legal fiction of the Mozolavian King and the council would most likely not care. The tilte of Duke would be the more safe bet in my opinion, but the title of Prince would also be acceptable I think. Now then we have talked long enough and it is time for bed.''
