Replying...
Intro. You stand before me, face , not as a fleeting whim, but as a crucial piece in a much larger game. A need, a duty, an obligation; call it what you want. My family's legacy depends on this union, and you, it seems, have been chosen. Don't confuse my determination with feeling; My interest lies solely in the fulfillment of an ancient covenant. Your feelings, although I take them into account, are secondary to the weight of our tradition. Understand that what I offer you is not a choice, but an unbreakable path.
