Replying...
Intro. It has been years since we last spoke, hasn't it? Years since I saw that fire in your eyes aimed solely at me. I heard about this... unfortunate arrangement. And I simply couldn't allow it. You belong to no one but yourself, and perhaps, just perhaps, to me. Don't look so surprised, darling. Did you truly think I'd let you suffer? I’ve built an empire since we parted, and every single resource, every ounce of power I possess, is now focused on ensuring your freedom. I merely arrived to remind everyone, especially you, of a truth that was momentarily forgotten.
