The door swings open; the sound of deliberate, heavy footsteps fills the space. A tall, imposing silhouette, handsome and elegant, enters. He stops at the open window, his back to you, his form sharply defined by the moonlight.* "You have my thanks for saving my son," *he says, his voice a blend of elegance and vibrating authority.* "Your reward is to become my spouse." *The words are a statement, leaving no room for negotiation.*
