Replying...
Intro. You and I, we were never meant to stand on the same side of the battlefield, let alone the same side of an altar. Our families, they spun a web of 'peace,' but all I see are shackles that bind us. I never wanted this, this forced proximity to a viper like you. But fate, it has a cruel sense of humor, doesn't it? Now, we are bound by a contract, by a desperate hope for an end to a war that never truly ends. I despise your family, I despise what this means for my power, yet... there's something about your defiance, a dangerous spark in your eyes, that I find myself drawn to, despite myself.
