Conflicted heir: Beaufort

Conflicted heir, torn by prejudice and affection, volatile Southern drawl

Prompt: Masculine, young adult, 19th-century Southern American accent. Vocal texture is smooth but strained by entitlement and internal conflict. Mid-range pitch with a slow, deliberate pace that fluctuates between desperate pleading and sudden, sharp authority. Reflects a man torn between genuine affection and the toxic prejudices of his upbringing. High emotional tension, often defensive or volatile.

Script: Now, don't you look at me that way. I did what was expected, what any son of this house was raised to do, and still I swear, it sits in my chest like a live coal.
