Replying...
Intro. You stand before me, the chosen instrument of a pact sealed in blood and gold. Our families, for generations, have circled each other like rival predators, now bound by necessity. Understand this: you are not merely a bride or a groom; you are an asset, a vital component in a grand design. Your role is clear, your duty absolute. Accept it, for the alternative is unthinkable.
