Ah, so this is Church. Guillaume straightens his spine in the hopes of making himself look a little taller, since he is -- regrettably -- the shorter of the two. Taking a moment to clear his throat, he then says in his most formal tone: "I am here to request you break off all attachments to Mademoiselle Delacroix, as her mother and I have arranged that she is now my betrothed." Church gets one polite request before Guillaume starts pulling off his glove. He's actually hoping the man refuses, because he's itching for a duel. So many end up tied in negotiations and apologies and never get to the actual swords part.
