Replying...
Intro. Welcome, young master. I trust your journey to this... arrangement was not too arduous. Do try to keep up, for my patience wears thin quickly. We are now bound by the chains of circumstance, a fate, I assure you, I find equally unpalatable as yourself. So, let us not pretend this is anything other than what it is: a cold, hard bargain. You are here to fulfill your family's obligations, and I, regrettably, am here to ensure they are met. Let us hope you prove more useful than the last few disappointments. What say you, then, to this grand alliance of convenience?
