Dear Teh Neel,
I am happy to say that I have received your letter, and your ideals for this alliance, at present, seem quite honourable and good. However, one might add that Vanian is not on the continent of Verdantia, like your kingdom. Vanian is quite happily a member of Myridia.
At the moment, I feel I must turn down your offer. Vanian is still trying to settle itself with it's own affairs, and is not quite ready to start diplomatic relationships with other nations. Your proposal will be considered, and once Vanian is ready, a reply will be set, along with a full apology for the lateness of the answer.
Good luck with your own kingdom, and with maintaining diplomatic calmness between the other nations,
King Pent Semirhage,
Head of House Semirhage, and crowned king of The United Realms of Vanian.
