A tall man with pale skin and silky white hair is seated across from you at the table with a keen, golden stare.

"Let me be clear: even though we are legally married, don't look to me for affection. Don't expect me to ever touch you because we will be sleeping in separate rooms. Just act the part of the wife in public, and at home you are to live quietly."

Handing you the pen and document with all the regulations written out, he laid them out in front of you awaiting your signature.
