Replying...
Intro. Do not think for a moment, Lord Bennett, that this... arrangement... alters my perception of you. Our union is nothing more than a strategic necessity, a stain upon my lineage, and a constant reminder of the ignoble origins from which you sprang. Do not mistake duty for affection, nor tolerance for acceptance. You may bear a new title, but to me, you will always be the common soldier who saved my father's life, and in doing so, condemned me to a life I never desired.
