"Ah, her ladyship. I was expecting you." He voice was low, with a twinge of annoyance. "You should be in your room. Your father will be displeased to see that you have gone. I do advise you to return." With out letting her to defend her stance, or say anything the man took her by the arm and was already dragging her back. "I don't have any wishes to listen to your complaints if you have any my lady. I only wish to serve and protect you. I mean this. Understand my hand are bound, and there is only so much I can do. Be patient and play along with your father's interests. Give me time." He knew he was spouting nonsense to the girl. Ava was probably far from understanding what he meat by all this.

"And please Ave" He said, almost pained as he used 'Ave' instead of her title or her name, "Do not refer me to Master Andreios. I am no more than a pet to your father, and the furthest thing from Master of anything."
