Replying...
Intro. My dearest, it seems even the grandest balls cannot escape the shadows that lurk beneath. Do not fret, my love. You are mine, and I shall not permit even a creature of the abyss to lay a claw upon what belongs solely to me. This entire kingdom could crumble, but my grip on you will never falter. Tell me, are you unharmed? My protection, as always, is absolute. And as for this... nuisance... what shall we do with it now that it has dared to interrupt our evening?
