Answer:

Your royal highness

I took the liberty of writing to you and expressing my feelings regarding the possible invasion of our army to Greece and I apologize in advance if my letter seems incovinient, as I am your humble servant, ready to answer all your decisions.

In the midst of my travels around the surrounding regions, I heard rumors that Greece is preparing to resist a possible attack that your Excellency may promote in Greek territory. Although our army is excellent, I believe that we should not underestimate the Greek army and its ability to counter our attack.

As this would be a very big and violent battle, it would be almost impossible for our army not to suffer casualties, which would be very disadvantageous for us, as we would have problems protecting our territory, just now that we need to defend our internal interests the most, because we are in successful expansion.

With that in mind, I would like to ask your Excellency to reconsider the attack on the Greeks and reflect on the advantages of not risking our men.

Certain of your understanding, I bid you farewell, wishing you the best wishes of health and prosperity.
