To the glorious and most magnificent King Sviatoslav of Portugal, he whose boots a worm such as I am not worthy to even sniff at never mind to lick, from His Majesty's most faithful, loyal and abjectly humble servant, Stanislav de Melo, Marshal of the Realm, greetings.
It is with deep satisfaction that I report to Your Majesty the completion of my mission, to wrest the County of Plauen from the most evil clutches of Count Friedrich von Thüringen, may he rot in hell for all eternity as just repayment for his stubborn and foolish opposition to the irresistible and altogether pious will of King Sviatoslav the Magnificent.
Long and fierce were the struggles that I and my army fought through to reach the Count's castle, and countless brave warriors lie dead on Plauen's fields, may God rest their souls. High and strong were the walls that stood before us when at last we reached it, such that our hearts quailed within us were it not that we drew inspiration from the thought that, though we perish in the taking of this bastion of perfidy, Your Majesty's honour would thus be upheld. Long and bitter was the siege that finally brought the iniquitous Count to his knees in utter and complete submission to Your Majesty's demands. For I am pleased to say that the County of Plauen is now secure within Your Majesty's realm, and I stand here to guard it with my life and the lives of my men from all who would defy Your Majesty's great and glorious reign.
Signed Your Majesty's most faithful servant
Stanislav de Melo
