the loyal brother- in 172YBCW the emperor called the reichensdorf diet to try and push forwards his plans to build a larger navy. the lords of the realm had been taxed extremely heavy. Gregory had stayed steadfastly loyal to his brother unlike there younger librial brother Valtan Hallsberg who had become a vocal voice of opostion. he had taken to wearing a black unifrom like his germinc allies and served as a major in a germinc regiment over one of the impieral guard regiments. at the diet the mainly germinc oppostion in the diet declared that the emperor was unjustly exerting himself over them. gregory had sympathy with the librials but took the side of his big brother, the man who had stood and protected him.
