In the wake of it all, I shall continue to do everything within my great power to prevent my kingdom from falling into destruction and ruin; for that I propose a marriage union and alliance to the son of the beloved King Christiaan the third of The Netherlands, the Duke of House de Graaf, Prince Levi the first; Heir apparent to the throne, right hand man of the royal court.”
