The Rajput emissary offers a small smile before replying,

Be assured we have no wish for war, none at all, but neither do we wish to be barred from exploring the world as we see fit. Remove your fort that blocks our access to the lands to the south and peace will be at hand instantly. Note that we passed through the lands of the Caliph in just such a peace, as well as some parts of the Omani and Seljuk empires. Surely this proves our good will?

Otherwise we see little need for peace. Our nobles are quite enjoying their sport half a world away from our homelands.
