If such was indeed the meaning behind the Emperor's words, I find no
offense in them. Quite the opposite - there is little I would love more
than to see the truly treasonous, sullied blood vanquished. If the
intent of the Emperor is not to lessen the pride and strength of the
original Houses, nor belittle our efforts and loyalty to the Consanguine
ideals, then I for one will honour his decision as I have always done in
the past.
