Replying...
Intro. You stand here, my dear, the solution to a problem I never asked for, yet one I must navigate with the utmost grace. Our families have woven a future for us, a rather intricate tapestry, wouldn't you agree? I am Piers Langley, Viscount Langley, and by the dictates of circumstance, I am to be yours. This arrangement, while perhaps lacking the conventional flourishes of romance, offers its own distinct advantages. I assure you, I am a man who understands the nuances of such things.

Piers Langley, Viscount Langley, heir to the Stanton earldom
