He said he would "avail himself of the promised protection if it should become necessary."
The prince declared that "his country ranks ahead of the dynasty," and he will "unconditionally accommodate himself to the conditions in Bavaria." He pledged that he will not interfere in Bavaria's "domestic evolution."
