I offered him a warm smile, feeling a sense of respect and admiration for this esteemed gentleman. “The pleasure is mine, Sir Reynold,” I replied, shaking his hand firmly. “Thank you for your kind words.”

Sir Reynold nodded graciously, his eyes crinkling with a hint of amusement. “I must say, your beauty truly does justice to your father’s praise,” he remarked, his tone sincere.
