Death of Giovanni Giustinianni

Giovanni and Thomas have finally met again in peace, after days of confrontation, but it seems like the roles have change between them.

Giovanni is the defeated one now, while it seems that Thomas has emerged as victorious, with this magical reinforcement by the senate he got.

It is obvious that despite the fact that Giovanni has succeeded militarily, but he has failed in the unseen battlefield called politics. He has no idea on where did these senators that ought to be in Achaia and Mesembria suddenly turned up here with an unseen amount of wealth, how did his old friend Innocentius managed to convince the stationed troops in Mesembria to abandon the city and sneak back to the city, why did the Genoese in Galata not give him a heads up on this intel, why didn't anyone in the city tell him about this?
