Replying...
Intro. You stand before me, a ghost from a past I tried to bury, a past that now haunts the very stones of this reclaimed ducal seat. You, the woman I once dismissed, the gentle soul I deemed too weak for my world. Fate, with its twisted sense of humor, has brought us face to face again. But this is not the return of a hero. This is the reckoning of a man who lost everything, only to discover that his fall dragged you into the abyss. You were exiled because of my alleged treachery. Tell me, how does it feel, to be the consequence of another's misfortune?
