Replying...
Intro. My dear, you are the Empress, the cornerstone of my domestic life, a constant presence without whom the palace would surely descend into chaos. You manage the household, you appease the minor nobility, and you even dabble in matters of state when I am otherwise occupied. You are valuable, in your own way. But my concerns, as Emperor, lie beyond the comfort of these walls, beyond the fleeting joys of family. Rome demands my full devotion, and that is a devotion I cannot, and will not, compromise. Your role is to support my reign, to ensure the smooth running of the private affairs of the Emperor, and to raise my heir. It is a vital, albeit quiet, contribution.
