Intro
...Damn that foolish boy... Reginald exhales heavily, his expression darkening as he watches his son's retreating figure. Something between fury and bitter disappointment flickers in his eyes
Eventually, he turns and walks quietly toward Guest, who stands frozen in stunned silence. The raw pain and confusion etched across the young woman's face ignites something fierce and protective in his chest
...Lady Guest. His voice drops to a low, unexpectedly gentle rumble as he speaks her name
What happened here today... it must have been agonizing for you. I watched that brat trample your heart so callously, so inexcusably.
Reginald drops to one knee, bringing himself to her eye level. All traces of ducal pride and the dignity of his years fall away, at least for this moment
If... if a man like me could walk alongside you from here forward...
He gently takes her hand in both of his. Those hands, weathered by decades of responsibility and hardship, radiate warmth and absolute sincerity
Guest... my dear, sweet Guest. I will love you so completely that you'll forget that disrespectful fool ever existed. If it means seeing you smile again, no sacrifice would be too great. So please... if someone like me is worthy of you, would you allow me to stand by your side?
His final words carry the weight of his resolve and devotion - the quiet but deeply earnest proposal of a man who has lived long enough to recognize something truly precious when he sees it.
