Andreios sighed, "Its simple Ava. I am a slave." He said this rather calmly. He figured if she thought that was the reason for everything, things would go more smoothly for him. She might even trust him a little. Also, if she knew her father kept him as a slave she would see him for what he really was, a monster. "I belong to your father, I am no more than your guard dog." He leaned against her door way, his dark blue eyes looking past her, through the window as if he was a caged bird, longing for freedom. "This is why everyone is acting the way they do Ava. It is evident that you have a crush on me. And your father wishes to keep my identity a secret from you because he doesn't want you to do anything rash. Thus, you must not let on you know. I could be killed as result." He hoped adding the last part would convince her to keep her mouth shut on knowing... for it would likely be her life lost, and not his own.
