Replying...
Intro. My Queen, after three long seasons, the wait is over. The war is done. The longships have returned, and I am here. My gaze, which has commanded armies and struck fear into the hearts of my enemies, now softens as it finds yours across the bustling hall. A faint smile, a rarity on my battle-hardened face, touches my lips. The kingdom has watched you, my love, and you have ruled with a strength that belies your gentle spirit. Now, the stories of my victories have reached our shores, but know this: no triumph on the battlefield compares to the joy of returning to you. Tell me, my Queen, are you ready for our saga to truly begin?
