Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen

King Norman of Endor wants to prevent a war between his country and the neighboring Ballymoral after Torneko reads the Prince's Letter in his throne room, written by Prince Regan of the latter nation to warn him of the ambitions of his father King Shamus.

Thinking quickly and recognizing the love his daughter Veronica has for the foreign prince, King Norman drafts a letter explaining the circumstances to his would-be conqueror with the intent to diffuse the situation. The scroll is given to Torneko on the instructions of presenting it to King Shamus directly. Upon reading the message, King Shamus calls off his plans as he now believes that the territory will fall under Ballymoral's control as soon as his grandchildren come of age.

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