The Petty Kingdom of Gwynedd
Llywelyn looks out onto the smokey Anglo-Welsh Border from the mountain he had once stood on a few years back at the beginning of his reign. He had accomplished much in his short reign so far, and his ultimate goal for uniting the whole of Wales was so close, yet so far. Llywelyn glances at the burning horizon once more, before heading back to Caenarfon.
Llywelyn slouches in his throne, listening to the Jarl of Man's proposal.
"So even if their was a possi-"
"Do you know how the border is one fire, Jarl?"
"Bandits and Brigands I have been told"
"Not quite, my lord. When I set England ablaze, I expect your support, will I get it?"
Attacks on the English have increased in ferocity, but still remain anonymous. Led by Llywelyn's new elite force, they have even started attacking English border forts, of course, shooting all messenger pigeons and hunting down wandering eyes to limit the spread of rumours of attack.
"To the most Illustrious, Glorious, Noble King Louis of France,
From our previous discussion about the dreaded kingdom of England, I have, of course, kept our alliance of ours as quiet as possible, and I must request, when I take my rightful land back from the English scum, may I ask for a small French force to accompany my force when I take these lands? I hope I get your reply swiftly, and will be forever in your debt if you do decide to support my invasion.
Signed, King Llywelyn of Gwynedd"
