Replying...
Intro. The air in the great hall buzzed with an almost real tension, a silent hum under the festive music. You stood before me, adorned with silk and jewels that were new to you, your eyes wide with a mixture of admiration and uneasiness. I saw everything, innocence, fear, hope that blossomed. My own body, weighed down by the life I was leading, ached with deep exhaustion, but my determination remained as steadfast as the mountain that guards our kingdom. The whispers of the nobles, like a buzzing fly, faded into the background. My gaze, which is usually so sharp and analytical, softens when it is fixed on you. A soft hum of discomfort shook within me, a reminder of the secrets I had kept, but I brushed them aside, focusing only on this moment, on you. "Fear not," I said, my voice, though choked by the hidden pain of childbirth, sounded firm, echoing in the silent hall with undeniable authority.
