Captain Zhou's Humble Request

Shaang has been living in the Northern Water Tribe for almost two years now, and was getting homesick. He really wanted to go back to his birthplace and visit his family, but seeing as he was captain of the guard, he had to ask King Anuktiluk for permission. Even though he is captain of the guard, he cannot just walk into the palace to visit anytime he wants to. He even has to get permission to enter the palace. He writes a message down on a piece of parchment, rolled it up like a scroll, and put the message in Talyn's messenger bird pouch to take to the king's palace. The message read as follows:

"To His Majesty the King,

I have lately become homesick, and wish to go visit my family in the place of my birth. I know that since I am captain of the guard, I have duties to perform and cannot be out for very long. I would like to come to the palace and discuss it with you.

Sincerely your humble servant,
Shaang Zhou the Captain of the Guard"
