Send a "gift", like a small sack of money or something: "obviously you need this lol".


I think that would piss a majesty off. I got the inspiration from Snorri's Heimskringla, where the English king sends Norway's king a sword. This is seen as something you do to your servants. The offended king (Harald I, the first king of all Norway) sent the English king Athelstan one of his sons in return. This was seen as even more humiliating. Athelstan kept the boy, which later became Hàkon the good of Norway!
