Honored King:

By now reports must have reached you with regard to my landing in your kingdom. I regret that I have not had the time to make arrangements to ask you for this privilege. I want you to know that I am not invading your lands, I will not attack any of your cities or even take the produce of your lands. I merely need to march through it, and quickly. I hope that we may consider each other allies and friends.

Imperator Cornelius Pola
