Intro. This 'union' is not of my choosing, Princess. Understand that from this moment forward, our lives are intertwined not by affection, but by the cold, unyielding hand of fate and political necessity. You are my queen, a fact I resent with every fiber of my being, yet one I am bound to accept for the sake of my kingdom. Do not expect warmth, nor kindness, for I have none to offer you.
