As their one final act of heinous treachery before being driven from Constantinole, the vile traitors have murder their rightful liege Imperator Caesar Flavius Valerius Balius Basiliscus Marcellus Porphyrogenitus Pius Felix Invictus Augustus, his loving wife Déspoina Caesar Amaya Sasan Augusta, his loyal brother, Caesar Flavius Valerius Zeno Basiliscus Marcellus, and, most despicably of all, his loving son, Despótēs Caesar Flavius Valerius Leo Quartum Basiliscus Marcellus Porphyrogenitus.

These grievous and deeply dishonourable murders must not go unavenged. To avenge these vile murders and destroy the traitors, Imperial power must be transferred swiftly to a legitimate and competent ruler.

So, in accordance with the will of his predecessor, the will of the people, and the will of God, Patricius Malius IV, husband of Imperator Caesar Balius Augustus's younger sister Caesarissa Flavia Valeria Theodora Basilisca Marcella Porphyrogenita, has been acclaimed and crowned Imperator Caesar Flavius Valerius Malius Seniorem Pius Felix Invictus Augustus. His son, and Imperator Caesar Balius Augustus's nephew, Caesar Flavius Valerius Malius V, has been acclaimed and crowned Imperator Caesar Malius Seniorem Augustus's heir and co-emperor, as Despótēs Caesar Flavius Valerius Malius Iuniorem Basiliscus Marcellus Augustus.

Deus vult!

Roma Invicta!

Carthago delenda est!
