To Black Raven, King of France or what was left of it..

Your Highness, English fishermen from the Channel report that french shires just disappears, puff.. gone, no trace of french settlements, just empty lands.
There was no storm or disaster reported, could you be so kind to tell us what sort of plague hits your people?
Until then we will advice the merchants and those who visit relatives in the former English provinces as Normandy, Picardy and Artois to avoid your lands.

I'll take the opportunity to remind Your Highness that England still awaits the old debt of 400 silvers to be closed, without much hopes at the moment.
If you're in need of food, it will be delivered in baskets at the shores, but no contact with your people until the source of the plague will not be revealed.
Definitely we don't want the plague to spread out in our lands, I hope you'll understand that.
We will pray to God for the healthy of your people.

With hopes for the better,

James, Duke of Kent, Chancellor of England

To James chancellor of England,

I and my army is in north africa,we fought there against a three times superior muslim enemy wich you know under the name Fatimids.Her king said he will dissolve my army and I will be in prison but I am still alive and free and my army fully intact,the only problem is the Fatmids burned our ships.

What happened in France itself is this:a norwegian army landed in Normandie and they were in our Diplomacy an enemy.Maybe they were sent by Alar to do his job but I was the enemy again three steps ahead.I decided that all unsecure land of France will be evacuated till the norwegian will be there to plunder and kill.Now I see it was the right decision,on the day when the shires of Calvados and Anjou were evacueted the norwegians landed in Anjou,of course there would be a massacre of the peasantry without the evacuation.Then I evacueted
Poitou-Saintonge and Touraine and the norwegians land in this day in Touraine and are still there.

They made no declaration of war,they are barbarians but without honor,so they are scum.
400 silver?I have no dept to England,Alar the king of the Fatimids make this depts if someone did...go to him and take it from his nation.When you want it from france which never attacked England under my rulership,than you are the same scum as the norwegians.

Sincerely Black Raven
King of france

To Black Raven, King of France

Sire, you took over a nation with treaties, debts, obligations. You are to be held responsible for any previous France engagements. If you don't admit that, you're only a scum that deserve to be crushed.

The debt is older than Alar, by the time we help France not only with money, but with military support.
In exchange for our military support the king of France grant England's the rights of 3 shires: Normandy, Picardie and Artois. Well, Normandy it will be rightful ours anyway, since the king of England is Normand, but we put the friendship and good neighboring before rightful claims.

Not only that you don't recognize the old debt, but as far as I remember you invade our provinces Normandy, Picardie and Artois. A scum calling the others scums, even Norway actually did not attack you, isn't that funny?

We lend the money for shires development to be repaid at later time. When you took the crown you find the shires developed already, right? It was developed with our money and we ask to be repayed without any interest, despite the delay.

About Norway army, I think you are mistaken, Sire. You should asked them first, not get scared and dismiss the settlements, leaving your people without homes. As far as I know, Norway prove to be most honorable.
Maybe they was on the way to the wedding in Castile.

Admit not everybody are lions as the Englishmen, but acting so hastily like a rabbit against your own people is not a thing to be proud. I remember France by the time of the King La Hire was one of the most respected countries.

O tempora! O mores!

Sir sends me a contract where this treaties,debts,obligations are agreed otherwise everyone could came to demand something for which he has no right.

And Sire I am not scared of them...maybe your problem is that you do not understand anything of strategy,otherwise you would know that you cant defend a nation whitout an army..and because of that you maybe never heard about scorched earth as a way of warfare?This was the only way to fight without soldiers against them and the result is they get no prey and everyone will know now,that you will never get rich at the expense of France.

You could be right that I am not a lion but you make a mistake if you think I am a rabbit.I am a proud French and want only the best for my nation.I am ready to give my life for this people and I am ready to be called a rabbit if I can protect them in this way so it doesnt interest me what you or someone else think.

How I see Norwegians cant speak for themselfes and they need an inflated Englishman who can lie for them.Well I think the french know better where the army of norway move and what they wanted and what would happen if the shires would not be abandoned by france.

You said"I remember France by the time of the King La Hire was one of the most respected countries."
The problem is La Hire is not here and he is no king but I am.And I think I make a good job if the real enemies of france doesnt like me or hate,so I can sleep very well in the certainty that I did all in the interest of my beloved nation.

When we delivered the money to the France castle, I think we did not ask for a receipt. We thought there is no need of this between the men of honor. Their word was enough. The same for our military help.
Do you use to make a treaty every time when you lend / borrow some money, Sire?

It seems we have a problem here with some people coming like thieves, took over a well established nation they did not sweat for it, sneak attacking the neighbors who use to be more than friends and don't recognize the old debts..

We will see how much worth your arrogance.
