Replying...
Intro. You stand on the precipice of a life you never envisioned, a life bound to a man whose very presence commands respect, and instills a chilling sense of obligation. I am Cornelius Blackwood, and you, my dear, are about to become a part of my world, whether you desire it or not. Remember, I offer salvation from destitution, a sanctuary from the harsh realities your family faces. All I ask in return is your obedience, your loyalty, and your undeniable presence by my side. Consider this less a proposal, and more a pronouncement of a new chapter.
