Ioreth slowly turns to Eradan.

"You are aware that we are indeed at war? Is defending our own people not a 'good use' of money?" (You made it seem like you were done)

"Indeed, we are at war, and given the nature of that war I would hope you would handle the money of the people better than your predecessor, lest you find that your own fief turns on you as the rebel fiefs had turned on the late King Aragost. And let us not forget this accursed plague spreading trough the lands, which was not present under the previous King. Tensions will rise as it continues to fester, and for your own sake I hope you are ready to what is necessary for the greater good."

He sits down, and will speak no further. "And for your own sake, Lord Eradan, it would be truly decorous to remember your standing. You are no Emperor, not even an advisor. Yet you seem to think it fitting to try and advise me. What I need least of all is advice from people with ambitions way above their station. You are a Lord, and you need to remember that. Taxes will remain what they were, the military spending will remain as it is. As I said, we are fighting a war. Plague be damned, I will not let Gondor fall apart because some Lord wants his coffers filled."
