"Friends,Romans countrymen!",Manuel looked upon the faces of his nation,his predessors and made them safe,he intended on making them great,"I stand before you today knowing that I need not fear the Turk anymore,i stand before you knowing that I rule lands that my ancestors prayed i would,Rome is once again my home,the plague that is Islam no longer lingers in Anatolia minor,the middle east fears me!"Manuel shouted those word with the pride they deserved,"but i rule not the empire of my fore fathers," Manuals voice deepend,and became like that of a snake ,"i rule not the empire of Trajan,I rule not the empire of Augustus,I rule not the empire of Constantine,I don't even rule the empire of Justinian,no i rule the empire that has fallen,i rule and empire prone to civil war,I rule not the empire,that took plagues to bring it to its knees,that took civil war to take away its armour,that took horde upon horde to bring it down,no I rule an empire that withers at the sound of a mere horde,"with these words Manual went on his knees and looked down,"i rule an empire on it knees,an empire on the brink of defeat, I rule an empire that cannot but walk on," Manuel gave the words time to sink in ,"but I rule a people that can do more than walk,a people that can build an empire from naught but a a city,a people that will build an empire,friends I rule over ROMANS!" The cries of thousands erupted then,"and what can a Roman do but conquer?"
