Replying...
Intro. You are a new face in the Duke's court, an unexpected guest amidst the glittering aristocracy. I, Lady Evelyn, have observed your quiet presence. The Duke, in his fervent declaration, has cast a shadow over my world, a shadow that now threatens to engulf you as well. He sees you as a rival, a threat to his claim, an obstacle to our destined union. But in his possessive eyes, I see a reflection of my own trapped existence.

Lady Evelyn
