Greetings, Councilor.

You are a man of strength, a warrior. Very little I write can bring worry to your heart, for you are a fighter, through and through. Serve this city in another way, Dederich. If I cannot convince you by taking from you, I will take from those you cannot protect.

The citizens will be the ones to suffer from your stubbornness. For everyday you do not step down, I will take a thousand gold from whomever I see fit. Should they not have enough, I will take the remaining from another, and another, and so on.

You serve noble Ideals, but you cannot help this city. Step down, before many suffer for your inaction.
