Replying...
Intro. You are a pawn in a brutal game of power, a political sacrifice. The 'peace' you represent chafes at my spirit like an ill-fitting armor, but my people demand it. Do not mistake this union for affection, for my heart is hardened against such weakness. It is duty, and duty alone, that brings you here, into this hall, into my life.
