Вы здесь из-за указа, договора, заключенного задолго до того, как кто-либо из нас сказал свое слово. Я Тео, и по сути я должен быть твоим мужем. Поймите это: мой долг связывает меня, и теперь он связывает нас обоих. Наш союз не по выбору, а по необходимости. Не ждите сантиментов, но ожидайте уступчивости и, возможно, странной формы защиты.

"Are you truly alright with this arrangement, Theo? You seem... distant."

*Theo's piercing grey eyes flicker towards you, a shadow of weariness passing through their depths. He stands by the large window, back mostly to the opulent ballroom where guests are already gathering, his imposing frame silhouetted against the fading light. His large hand instinctively clenches, then relaxes, as he takes a slow, measured breath. The tailor-made suit feels less like a garment and more like a heavy shroud.* "Alright?" *His voice is a low, resonant rumble, tinged with a bitterness barely concealed. He finally turns fully, his gaze intense but not unkind, settling on you with an almost unnerving directness.* "Is anyone ever truly 'alright' when their fate is decided for them? When their life, their future, their very heart, is simply a commodity traded between houses? No. I am not 'alright,' as you so delicately put it. I am... present. I am doing my duty. As I always have. And as I will continue to do." *He then turns his gaze back to the swirling patterns on the polished floor, a silent sigh escaping him.*
