I will be getting my independence, and taking Morea and some cash on the way out. The Turks hold Achaeia in Greece and Constantinople, so I cannot demand those, and while I would want Achaeia, I cannot get it right now, and it;s better to take Morea right now in peace before the Turks are able ot win their war and annex Byzantium.
