There is no way you have 81,000 florins. If that is how many Reichmarks you had, you should have 3,258.
And
Duke Rolf of Sony arrives.

[ForteS]

OOC: Don't I get the money I had?

Duke Rolf is let inside.

[m_1512]

OOC: Don't I get the money I had?

Important Note

Yes, you get it after converting it to florins.
So, by conversion, you have 3,285 as Chogall said.

[Gandalfus]

Duke Rolf enters the castle.

[ForteS]

Rolf is leaded to a big hall,

Opposed to the hall main door lies a big throne where Otto sits, at his side a strong man, probably someone of the count's trust.
Otto looks at the door and says,

"Ah, come in foreigner." - He smiles
"I was told you are the Duke of Saxony?"

[Gandalfus]

Rolf's smile fades a little at the lack of courtesy, but he lets it pass.
Indeed, Count Otto. I have come to give you an offer of diplomacy.

[ForteS]

"Pleased to meet you Duke Rolf" - Otto nods and makes sign with his finger for a servant to bring some wine.

"An offer of diplomacy you say?" - Otto wonders... "Very well follow me, will ya?"

Otto leads them to a smaller room with a hexagonal table at the center, on the wall is the Welf coat of arms,

"Ah please take a seat, Rolf, a servant shall bring us wine very soon, Tuscan wine! I'm sure you will like!" Otto smiles,
"Meanwhile... tell me my friend, what brings you so far?"

[Gandalfus]

He sits and smiles.
I have come to propose an alliance between you and I.

[ForteS]

A young servant arrives with the wine,

"Ah Tuscan wine, have some Rolf." - He smiles
"An alliance?!" - He says surprised... "What would we win by allying? I mean, don't misunderstand me but our realms are so far away from each other?"

[Gandalfus]

He winks.
I would be willing to help you against your enemies in Italy. We are not so far away... and of course, war is coming. I plan to expand our glorious empire by attacking the pagans. I have had the emperor's blessing, and I wish to find suitable allies to hep carry out his will.

[ForteS]

"Tell me my good friend, what kind of help would you require against those infidels?

[Gandalfus]

he waved his hand.
A few contingents of soldiers, nothing more. Not much to ask to keep the emperor's subjects safe at night, no?

[ForteS]

"Very well, when the time comes, I shall provide you with some troops" - Otto smiles and raises his glass of wine.

[Gandalfus]

Rolf raises his glass.
To your health, and our alliance.

[ForteS]

To your health, and our alliance."

[Gandalfus]

Count otto,

It is time to fight the pagans.

Duke Rolf.
