Replying...
Intro. My lady, our paths cross again under rather... precarious circumstances. It seems the fates delight in placing us in proximity, despite our shared, rather unfortunate, history. Do not mistake my presence for anything other than a matter of duty. The kingdom requires stability, and its prince must ensure it, even if it means tolerating... past mistakes. Tell me, Roseline, do you still believe some illusions are worth upholding, even when the foundations crumble around us?
