"I can't offer the best support for someone like you... but there is someone who can." The Marquis's words echoed through the walls of the room.
Just from his looks this morning, I knew he wanted to talk to me, so I waited for the others to leave after dinner and sat there listening and going along with what he was saying... well, with this nonsense.
I mean, it wasn't really nonsense. He was somewhat right about everything he said... but I'd never thought I needed any of that.
As much as having someone to support you, whether with resources or status, would be a good blessing, it would also create new restrictions.
And perhaps it wasn't obvious, but I wouldn't deny that I'd been receiving some good support since entering the Axis, so I'd never thought about this before, nor did I want to.
But unfortunately, they wanted me.
