To His Majesty, Alfons VI de Trastámara, King of Aragon and Naples, and Protector of the Greeks
Your Majesy,
As a humble man of God I am concerned about the fate of the men of Aragon who have suffered during the war like peasents who were done harm by both the bastard's forces and Loyalists, which includes being forced to fight or the destruction of their labour by the plundering of their produce, or the citizens of Cagliari, who were attacked by a godless pirate supported by heathens. Thus, as a humble man of God, I ask you, I beg you to relief those victims of the actions of the bastard, both directly and indirectly, as a pious man of God, for Aragon and its people.
Bishop Adriano Juan de Valencia, Abad de Abadía de St. Francisco de Asís
The good Cardinal de Vascona did suggest a plan for rebuilding Cagliari, which we believe has merit. If only Ferran had paid with his blood instead of making us pay ducats to rebuild.
- His Majesty, Alfons VI de Trastámara, King of Aragon and Naples, and Protector of the Greeks
To His Royal Majesty, King Alfons VI, and the court,
Congratulations on your magnificent victory, Your Majesty. God smiles upon you as a trueborn son. May He bless you with sons and security for your reign. It is a shame that the bastard could not be brought to justice, but perhaps the Lord has other designs. Now we must rebuild our realm and repair the damage that brigands, pirates, and years of war have caused.
Thank you for entrusting the position of Court Chaplain to my person as your father did. As court chaplain, I recommend that the crown support my efforts at reforming the Church and supporting my "faction". Hopefully, we will be able to influence His Holiness to return the Church to its more spiritual roots and remake it as in institution that cares for the needs of the poor and spiritually malnourished. Soon the seas shall be safe and you will be able to travel to Rome to be blessed by His Holiness, which would be a great opportunity for the kingdom and your person to potentially influence the pontiff and increase the prestige of your dynasty in the eyes of Christendom.
Unfortunately, I must advise that the kingdom end its mission to place my person on the throne of Saint Peter. It appears that the opportunity has passed and that the Lord has other designs. Finally, I would recommend that missionaries be sent to any provinces that believe in heresy but are open to conversion.
God bless you, Your Majesty.
Your humble servant,
Cardinal Fernando de Vascona
Bishop of Pirineo
((Court chaplain plan:
-keep investing influence to increase our papal chances
-convert provinces whenever possible per the Shield of Saint Peter Act
-cancel the mission to become papal controller))
We are surprised that you are so humble to admit that the Papacy is out of your grasp. If only the French would release their stranglehold on it so we could make the Catholic Church great.
- His Majesty, Alfons VI de Trastámara, King of Aragon and Naples, and Protector of the Greeks
((I never really considered who should have the option to cancel a mission, but in this case it makes sense that the mission for the Papacy be cancelled by the candidate for that position.))
My grace,
I congratulate you on your rightful victory, as you know I supported your rightful place as king from the very beginning, and I will continoue to do so until the very end, aswell as my family.
You have proven yourself a capable leader, and that is what Aragon needs.
I have some contacts in France, since my mothers family still lives there and have garnered influence in the french court. I will try to convince the french court, via my extended family, to keep pressure on the Habsburgs to release the bastard to the crown.
Your loyal servant,
Felipé de Alvaro, count of Sassari
We thank you for the suggestion, but we highly doubt that the French will have any sway over the Habsburgs. The Austrians are known to hate the French with a passion. They'd be more likely to prop up Ferran as a pretender if the French intervened. If you do truly wish to help us, perhaps you would consider serving on our Council?

((Pick a position and it's yours, except for Chancellor. You can say no if you want to too.))
((Sorry, I don't speak Latin IRL. It just fits the character))
Marcin arrives in Valencia with a hope to learn about this strange country, he decides to introduce himself to the court.
He enters the royal palace, and after entering the throne room he bows down before the king
(In Latin)
I greet the King of these fine lands, I would wish to be able to stay in this magnificent palace. I come to this glorious kingdom to gain knowledge about people who live here. May I have a room for myself to hide from the rains, and storms? The news about your great victories in Greece, and your heal of the Great Schism are legendary. With such achievement the Polish-Lithuanian king have decided to start their own crusade against the remaining heretics in Russia.
Marcin decides to ask if somebody speak German, just in case
Alfons turns to a clergyman present in court and asks, "What is this annoying foreigner saying? I can't understand a word."
The clergyman then proceeds to translate for the King.
We are glad to hear that the heretics of the northeast are being converted by force now. May they embrace the true faith. You may stay, I suppose, but don't get into any trouble. I won't hesitate to have you thrown out of the kingdom if you do.
- His Majesty, Alfons VI de Trastámara, King of Aragon and Naples, and Protector of the Greeks
A letter to king Alfons VI.
To your majesty, King Alfons VI, lord of the kingdoms of Aragon and Naples, Protecter of the Greeks, healer of the great schism, unifier of the Christian church.
Could I, Jolandha van Tiel, and my son, Cornelis van Tiel, live in your grand and mighty country? I am deeply sorry for the actions of my Husband, Michiel van Tiel, and would want to apologize by paying for the reconstruction of the great city of Cagliari. If you desire, my son can join the great Aragonese army when he is grown up, and has finished the best of education your country can offer. We hope to heal the wounds that the name van Tiel has done to your country, and restore our reputation in the progress.
Jolandha van Tiel.
Are you not already here? Why are you asking me about such nonsense? Go live your lives without interfering with my rule.

A Message from Duke Tomas Etxeto of Pamplona, head of House Etxeto
Dear King Alfons of Aragon, Navarre, Naples, et al.
Your success is most welcome news. I'm glad that the one and only heir to the throne established himself. If you ever need something to happen, just ask.
Duke Tomas Etxeto di Pamplona
It is good to see that we can still count on the nobility to support us. Perhaps you would be interested in serving on our Council?
- His Majesty, Alfons VI de Trastámara, King of Aragon and Naples, and Protector of the Greeks
((Feel free to claim a position on the Council, excluding Chancellor, and you can have it. Saying no is an option too. I'm just desperate to fill some of these positions.
