Sender ID: His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Warlock of Rheinland Receiver ID: Her Majesty the Queen Subject: Re: Shared Interests
Your Majesty,
The people of Thuringia have shown themselves disagreeable to Imperial taxation. And while my benevolence knows no bounds, my patience wears thin. Perhaps I shall have to employ harsher means to bring these vagabonds to acquiesce to Imperial demands. A looping broadcast of myself reciting Kusari poetry - a favorite pastime of mine, however poor my pronunciation is - shall perhaps convince them of reason.
I am curious as to what you believe my Imperial eyes and ears may or may not have perceived since we last conversed, and I look forward to doing so again soon. You may find me strolling through the gardens later this day.
