"I think you did not understand my words. I am offering you help, Killian. I have enough resources and I am the only one who can support you without fear of losing my life or my position.

"I have understood your intentions well already, my lord. I apologize but I did not understand the reason though. My uncle is kind and caring but you painted him as a monster that surprised me." the boy feigned shock when the man's brow twitched.
