At Duke Rose's Palace,
The internal minister asked Duke Rose who was in a good mood today, "Milord, what the matter, you seem quite happy, unlike yesterday."
Duke Rose spoke in a humming tune, "Well, it is because of John. He gives a lot of surprises. Previously I was quite angry when he announced his secession without any thinking or even consulting us. But Today I got to know about the casualties the Royal army and others faced by the opposing him. It seems he had quite a plan when he decided to make the previous announcement. And now I got a very capable general in Henry. Hence my happy mood today. The crux of the matter is, John seccedded at a crucial time when no one can say that he was rebelling it is more like he is protecting himself against the pressure of other aristocrats."
