mildred_of_midgard's prompt: Does anyone else not envy these ambassadors, though, seriously?
Mitchell: No, Lord Bute did not say "His majesty's government isn't there to endlessly finance the King of Prussia's wars", he just sort of hinted that maybe, in the light of the glorious new developments in Russia, some slight reduction of subsidies might be possible.
Podewils: No, King Friedrich totally did not call you a henpecked husband, adding a man without power has no purpose on this earth. That's all slander. Just - look, you really liked the salmon, right?
Valory: No, it's totally untrue the King called you the Margrave of Brandenburg and handed over all his correspondence with you to Madame de Pompadour. Also, the next time you're pinching my reader, be as good as to leave me out of the porn you're writing about him.
Seckendorff: In MY day, we didn't bother with denials. We faked smoking and getting drunk with the King instead and smuggled our books into Wusterhausen by using bible covers. And if we got accused of trying to poison the King or Queen, we just shrugged and ordered some more tall fellows from Wallachia. Young people these days...
