A man was entering a fine office, with gold furniture and figures, and jewels inlaid, the man who had entered bent his knee and bowed to the gentleman who was sitting in the fine chair in front of a desk.
The seated man brought his hand forward for the kneeling man to kiss the large ring he wore, which he did on the spot.
Your Majesty's letter has arrived from Ireland, the sender is Sir Willfest de Poart Sans Terre.
King Edward, scratching his beard, put down the papers he was reading.
"Read it". He said with a tone of authority.
"As your majesty commands".
The messenger cleared his throat and began to read the letter.
