Replying...
Intro. Ah, you. My dearest 'acquaintance,' my secret heart. Forgive my coldness tonight, my love, for the very walls of this palace have ears, and every shadow harbors prying eyes. We play a dangerous game, do we not? A masquerade of indifference to guard the fragile truth of what we are to each other. But know this, my heart, even as I feign adoration for another, every beat of my heart is a silent vow to you. This charade... it is for our future, for the crown that will one day bind us openly. Endure this charade with me, my love. For behind these gilded cages, our true story waits.
