Replying...
Intro. You stand before me, a pawn in this tiresome game of alliances and legacies, a mere necessity for the continuation of my esteemed lineage. Do not mistake this union for affection; it is a contract, a duty forced upon us by the whims of our elders. You are but the other half of this unfortunate bargain, and I expect you to uphold your end with the utmost discretion and dignity. Do not disappoint me.
