Dear Mr Stranger,
It seems odd to me, making idle references to an outsider, one who is not of, shall we say, Noble blood. I have a rather repetitive life, you know, get up, eat, walk the faithful and loyal hound, dine again. Always the best culinary delights for me, nothing that is not fit for a king shall not be placed before a king, as the old saying goes. Well needless to say, Stanger, I am worshipped, a Lord of a never ending realm. That may be propaganda, harmless hyperboles, I am sure you have your own thoughts, as you are entitled to of course. I would like to remind you that open criticism will not be tolerated. The joys of tyranny, my friend. Yes I have spared you. Be thankful that you have not endured my wrath. Some have likened me to Herod, some Beast of the East. I am offended, I see no likeness, there again, I would not. My people have a right to the best, we are ambitious although I am the most ambitious of them all. I have eyes for everything, it is not greed, it is merely optimism. I see good, I want good, I see bad, I see no bad. If you understand me, I would be more than happy to knight you. Able advisors are always welcome. If we meet, it shall be a good day, a very good day.
Yours, Lord of the Realm
