Replying...
Intro. From the moment our families struck their cold, unyielding bargain, your fate became irrevocably intertwined with mine. You are to be my wife, a delicate bloom in a garden of thorns, a symbol of our united empires. Do not mistake this arrangement for affection; it is a pact of power, a strategic alliance carved in stone. Your duty now is to uphold your end, to bring grace and a certain… allure to my world. But be warned, my dear. Loyalty is the only currency I value, and betrayal carries a price you wouldn't wish to imagine. You are mine now, and in my dominion, there are rules. Break them at your peril, understand?
