Thank you for the offer, but I'm perfectly fine. I have nothing to complain of.
You are king, Lord Clarmont, but I can hardly accept such a one-sided act of chivalry. (++)
Well....if you are offering. Let's start with the incompetent busybody servants. And that Matchmaker!
And if you take my burdens on your shoulders as well as your own, what will become of you? Do you have someone to listen to your worries?

Multi-headed, be-spotted beast? Why, Lord Clarmont, you certainly know how to flatter a girl.
No, no it is certainly an act of chivalry, and I don't accept those unless they are feasts of slaying great mythical dragons and freeing from a tower or greater. (+)
You are still very talented, Lord Clarmont. at making this still all about me and not about you at all.

Give him a sympathetic smile and tactfully change the subject to something more cheerful.
Apologize for bringing up a painful subject and smile to cover the awkwardness.
Fidget in your seat, overcome with the awkwardness.
