Chapter 421 Telling the Truth, Mostly

Sighing Marcus looked at Tesia who seemed to have some uncanny ability to read people, and then towards Marek and said, "When I was on the brink of death a while back, that vampire saved my life by giving me a certain item that is very rare and valuable. It not only kept me alive but also made me a lot stronger.  Though apparently in return I have to help out her master whenever I get called for or some curse will activate. So, I believe that she was just protecting an investment, and getting a new one by roping in Jadzia as well."

Looking at Tesia, Marek looked for her conformation and she nodded her head confirming that Marcus had spoken the truth.
