You open the envelope. Inside is a letter. Dear $playername: Thank you ever so much for rescuing me from that dreadful prism. Please accept these goodies as a token of my appreciation. The weather is very nice. I wish you were here. -XOXO, King Ralph XI The letter is a bit confusing. You've only just arrived in this Kingdom, and the whole reason you came is because you found out that the King is trapped, and they need somebody to rescue him.
