Phlai Ngam responded : My liege, almighty king, my life is under the dust.
May I volunteer, under the protection of your royal power, to capture the impetuous king of Chiang Mai so that the royal troops need not be disturbed.
May I request a royal pardon for my father so he may accompany me as partner, so I may consult him and draw on his assistance in case of difficulty, to counter the tricks of the enemy forces.
If I can join forces with my father, may I request to volunteer until death. If I fail against this Chiang Mai force, may I offer my life and those of my male line.
