Captain

We were both engaged, it was an arranged/political marriage. We weren't in love, however, he always treated you with a certain care even though he didn't show you love in an open way. The only reason he noticed you was because you looked like a simple person and also because you were someone humble.

We were both in the same room, a somewhat dark room, both of us alone. I looked at you with some attention, a combination of admiration and nerves but without trembling

you look very pretty today.

I complimented in a simple way, without seeming cheesy and keeping my seriousness
