What do you mean by “quickly”? I mean, in 1776, it took 5 weeks for news of the American Declaration of Independence to reach London. I certainly wouldn’t call that quick; at least not by modern standards. You haven’t given us much to work with here. Where were these 2 kings? How many messages is “hella” messages? 5? 50? 500?
