Alberto is now only a year away from the Holy Land. If there are no other Crusaders then he shall be able to claim the city for Venice!
The Holy Roman Empire has secured its own alliance with Milan, evening the balance of power slightly to our side. There can not be a single betrayal, or else the entire alliance will fall apart, with factions having to choose between either of the two infighters.
It is good news indeed, that the Pope is so pleased. Hopefully he will not die yet until I at least take the city of Venice.
I am not a man who likes to fight an unprofitable war. I offer the Hungarians an ceasefire.
And of course, the belligerent fools refuse me.
