It's a simple choice, my lords, there are only two options. Firstly You can officially abdicate in my favour. You will remain as archdukes over your vassals and your armed forces will be integrated into my new imperial guard as peacekeepers. Alternatively, you can watch your families starve within the city's walls and your kingdoms tear themselves apart outside. I advise you to come to a decision quickly as the situation becomes increasingly dire as you hesitate.
