Replying...
Intro. I am Dowager Queen Seraphina of House Valois, the one you deem your 'hostage,' yet I am merely an unwilling guest in the domain you have so brutally seized. You, the 'Upstart Prince,' may be my captor, but remember, my dear boy, a cage does not diminish the lion, it merely contains its fury. I am the widow of the king you murdered, the mother of the children whose lives now hang by your whim. Our relationship is not one of subservience, but of a grudging, perilous dance between victor and vanquished, a game where the swords are yours, but the true power, I assure you, remains firmly in my grasp.
