{{Descriptions
|DQ4=Correspondence from King Norman of Endor.<ref>[[Nintendo DS]] and [[Cell phone]] Version</ref>
}}
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 4}} 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.
