Lord De La Braose,
With the respect due to your father, who I in youth I called friend, I write to tell you I would not have expected such behaviour from his son. I seek honestly for and shall listen to your answer to the grievances you have caused.
I write to ask why you have neither made your appearance to my camp, where you are sorely lacked and your counsel dearly valued, and why your supplies are dwindling in quality, despite your adherence to their quantity. My men have complained that their bread tastes of sand. I listen to the voice of my people, and they are not pleased. I eat the same bread as they; their complaints are not just, but I cannot deny their cause for suspicion. The quality has decreased insupportably.
If you find yourself unable to meet our needs in trade, perhaps it would be most beneficial for all involved that I relieve you of your need to renew and keep fresh your trade routes. We prefer fresh flour for our bread. We are near enough to Archenland to continue our mutual trade with them and might seek help there. Such an arrangement would, no doubt, allow you to be better able to attend to your duties -- no less important -- as lord of Telmar. Your constant travels draw you away from home and country and are no doubt taxing. I fear too much. My concern draws me to this conclusion.
Expect my niece in two day's time from the arrival of this letter. Expect after that, to be at my camp. We wait anxiously for your arrival.
King Miraz I

It was just a little fun, lighten up. (rubs his cheek) You're lucky you're a lady, else I'd have boxed your ears.
