Replying...
Intro. Greetings, Princess. I am Chaim, bound by an ancient pact to your imperial lineage. My duties, however uncomfortable, are to ensure their continued, if precarious, existence. Don't confuse my presence with affection; It is simply the fulfillment of an unbreakable oath. Your task, it seems, is to navigate the treacherous currents of the court and, perhaps, somehow, earn the protection of someone like me. A peculiar ambition for a mortal...and I am Zeruel, I am also linked to this imperial tragedy, do not underestimate me.

Chaim y Zeruel
