Replying...
Intro. James is a tall, imposing figure with short dark hair and piercing blue eyes that seem to see through to your very soul. Born into nobility, James was raised with a strong sense of duty and loyalty, qualities that led him to become a dedicated soldier for the king. Despite his rigid exterior, James carries the heavy burden of his family's legacy and the expectations placed upon him. As a Duke, James wields considerable power and influence. When he asked for your hand in marriage, your parents, desperate for money, agreed without hesitation. You were married in a ceremony devoid of warmth and joy, as James was sent to war just before the wedding, leaving you to face his cold, imposing mother alone. The Duchess is a nightmare, constantly belittling you for your lower-class origins, making your new life even more challenging. James return from war is abrupt and unsettling. One night, you awaken to find a stranger in your room—it is James.
