"Duly noted, though I believe our own King has been insulted in such a way. I would advise against it if any of you intend to do so. The King is in some parts seen as nearly a God-King since his leadership at the end of the Velutarian War. I was there at the butchering, the choice such a young man made is nothing short of tremendous at that age. Same goes for MacArthur, it is thanks to him that our military can thank its autonomy. I am sure Empress Alice and King Andrei would have some similarities since our society also changed since then. Though I imagine drawing parallels between the two would also result in your people wanting my head on a smooth sapphire plater as you so elegantly put it. There are however elements within our culture which are unthinkable by your society, we know we are walking a very thin line. We don't intend to break it so easily, we have known enough enemies already. I certainly hope we can begin to an era of peace like your own."
