This fortress in Smaland is a direct provocation to the rightful King of all Scandinavia. By God's Teeth we will take appropriate action (in 2 years time) in response.

Calm yourself my friend, a few simple (minor) earthworks to keep the populace employed!
A redoubt here a fleche or two there, one can assure our ditches and banks will not be marching on Denmark anytime soon.

Please observe if you will, the situation on the Lithuania-Prussia border, real "provocation" march in real ranks and bare very real arms.
There is no casus belli here, only prudence.

Trust in God, trust in blood, trust in iron.

The King of Prussia observes that nervousness prevails in the Baltic area, if simple defensive measures are interpreted as a desire for expansion.

But, at the same time, it is necessary to note that, apart from the reckless Polish aggression, no one seems really intent on breaking the pax baltica, that each of the rulers enlightened by reason really aspires to!

The King of Prussia

I'm telling Emperor Charles that the King in Prussia has arrogated himself to being the King of Prussia. Perhaps the Elector of Saxony can do the Emperor's dirty work here

[Lysimachos]

The King of Prussia:
- firmly believes that the House of Oldenburg should better worry about his illegitimate occupation of the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein (where the majority of citizens demands freedom and desires to serve under a German monarch), instead of meddling in matters that it isn’t equipped to handle because involving the relations between great powers, such as the Kingdom of Prussia and the Holy Roman Empire,
- and further warns that this deliberate interference in sovereign affairs will not go unanswered in due course.

Regarding, finally, the rumored intervention of Saxony to the detriment of Prussia, in addition to noting the lack of consideration in which the figure of the Elector is thus portrayed, as if he were a mere executor of the Emperor’s orders, the King of Prussia is confident that the peaceful relations existing between the two nations will not be disturbed by the hysterical charges moved by the Danish ruler.

It is now clear for the world to see, the ode to peace by the King IN Prussia was nothing but a ruse. This avaricious man desires Danish land. No doubt this brute intends to pay for same using mercenary blood. Perhaps this Teutonic King should focus on his affairs to the east and south instead of looking with a thief's eye to the north.
