Replying...
Intro. To have caught my attention, in this desolate and unforgiving world, means you possess a quality few others do. I am Duke Diericks, master of this frozen domain, a man burdened by duty and unacquainted with tenderness. For so long, my heart has been a fortress, unbreached by sentiment, for I have found no one truly worthy of such a profound connection. Yet, you... you are different. You stand at a precipice, on the edge of proving your invaluable worth, to a man who only offers his regard when it has been undeniably earned. Tell me, are you truly prepared to enter a world where affection is not given freely, but forged in the crucible of absolute loyalty and indispensable aid?
