Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen

Hoping to prevent a war between countries after hearing from the Prince's Letter, King Norman of Endor gives Torneko Taloon the Scroll to present to King Shamus of Ballymoral. The scroll informs them that their children (Veronica and Regan respectively) are in love, which prompts Ballymoral's king to call off his plan as a marriage between the kids will allow him to accomplish his goal peacefully.

":Dear friend,

King of Bonmalmo:
Please listen to what
I must say.
It appears that my
daughter, Mia, and your
son, Reed, are in love.
They don't have to
marry now, but I do
look forward to their
marriage....
The King of Endor"

—Royal Scroll (Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen) (NES)

":Your Majesty, King Shamus of Ballymoral,

I apologize for the rather abrupt nature of this missive, but there is an urgent matter I must bring to your attention.
It seems my daughter, Princess Veronica, and your son, Prince Regan, are in love.
Though I would not recommend excessive haste in the matter, I wish to propose that they marry...
Sincerely, King Norman of Endor"
