("Basing an important entirely on a tradition...")

"He didn't tell anyone. I'm not throwing this tantrum for power - I just think we should have some thought before suddenly introducing this new law and entirely new way of thinking. No-one has said that he metioned it to them - not just me. I think it's somewhat suspiscious and that we need to take time to think about it - both in case it's someone else's bid for power and also just to make sure that it will work. During that time, the Empire will need a ruler. I don't know who you'd suggest, but I think I would be the obvious choice."

Yeah, but you still agreed to the treaty. Then you suddenly broke it in as many ways as possible and attacked them. It's about breaking your word and being untrustworthy. You only broke it a few years ago, too, not 40 years ago. Torture, for one. Laws are far too harsh against rebels and protesters. Some of the taxes are ridiculous and harsh. You demand lots of money for the Empire. We have no say in how it's ruled. Two Empire's being assassinated annoys them because the head of an Empire should be well protected. For two to die in such short succession, both assassinated, both makes them worried as to who's assassinating them and for whose benefit - someone willing to assassinate at the very least - and also makes them worry why the Empire has so little protection for its Emperor. If they can't even protect the Emperor, who can they protect?
