King Zbigniew's official position is simply that war between Catholics is madness, and will be opposed where-ever it starts. Denmark has acted rashly, has violated their given word to a neighbor and ally, and yet... It is unusual for Sicily to have had so skilled a man 'training' on rebels so close at hand to their public opponent in a squabble. Sicilian agents have taken very active roles in foreign lands in the past, to the detriment of many, including my own father.

I can only conclude that both sides are somewhat in the wrong, though it appears the Danes have wronged two parties at once. It is not my place to step into this difficulty directly, but I would suggest a withdrawal of agents and a one province 'de-agentized' zone betwee Sicilian agents and Danish ones. Such a DAZ could provide the proper context for a continuation of peace. In my father's tradition I shall make a vow never to invade the lands of fellow Catholics, unless they should attack Poland first.

I would also like to apologize to the Kaiser for, by necessity, declining his generous offer. I trust my loyal ally with my life, but cannot so wildly throw open my back country. I have counter-offered a different region with a similar income and potential.

I must also inform King Simon that one of my wayward generals (That first idiot that matured) is now deep in his recently conquered deserts around Jedda. The fool has no army with him, he simply wandered off as soon as he came of age; I will direct him towards neutral rebel territory as quickly as possible. The Princess' brother is also passing through Sicilian lands, north of Aleppo, after having escorted her to her wedding. I am sure he shall have a safe journey.

I will pray for peace, prosperity, and luck to bless all the nations of Europe!

King Zbigniew

While We respect King Zbignew, We must reiterate that Our agents were in German lands training due to a lack of targets in Our own. As is natural for training, agents will become more skillful.
Now, We were willing to overlook this matter and continue on peacefully, however the Danes have refused to apologize to Us for their continued aggression andd transgressions and also refused to pay restitutions to Us and the Germans for their vile acts.

As they have been the first to spill catholic blood in these days and continue to do so without abatement, We feel it necessary to act in a manner that will prevent such from occuring ever again, and their continued taunts and insults aimed at Us do not help alleviating this consensus among Our people.

The Danish ambassador translates the Sicilian's words:

While We respect King Zbignew, We must reiterate that Our agents were in German lands training due to a lack of targets in Our own. As is natural for training, agents will become more skillful.
Now, We were willing to overlook this matter and continue on peacefully, however the Danes have refused to apologize to Us for their continued aggression andd transgressions and also refused to pay restitutions to Us and the Germans for their vile acts.

"While we laugh at "King Zbignew", We will continue to stick to our feeble story that a fully trained assassin was training near Danish lands due to an intense desire to murder Danish royalty. As is natural for liars, we will continue to compound the lie with more lies. Now, we were perfectly willing to continue pretending we didn't provoke such a response from the Danes, and continue to mass an assault against them and move agents ever closer to their eventual targets, however the Danes managed to heroically dispatch our top assassin and his delightfully ambiguous male partner, who is also unmarried, and the Danes refuse to be whores and prostitutes to Us, the single greatest threat to world peace."

As they have been the first to spill catholic blood in these days and continue to do so without abatement, We feel it necessary to act in a manner that will prevent such from occuring ever again, and their continued taunts and insults aimed at Us do not help alleviating this consensus among Our people.

"As they have been the first to spill Sicilian blood, instead of vice versa, and continue to do so in self defense, we feel it is necessary to save face by continuing to cling to our most ridiculous excuses for our wandering, maximum skilled agents and large Northern France invasion force, and continue with our plans to invade your ally and ignore your requests for peace, because frankly the Sicilians never gave a darn what any of you thought about our treacherous ways."

I've managed to translate bull-feces to English for ya!
