((But before I leave there's one thing I've always wanted to do…))
Markus said putting his hands over the marquis's eyes.
((Since the marquis's [eyes of inquisition] is a hereditary skill it should instinctively activate in moments of distress…this is a golden opportunity))
Markus considered more tempting alternate options like gouging out the marquis's eyes and taking what he wants directly from the marquis's optic nerves which although would've had a higher chance of success and also would've been a great revenge for the marquis trying to blackmail him but that could potentially make the marquis lose his ability and his job along with it which will in turn harm Sophia so Markus decided against it, not to mention Markus could damage the nerves itself if he did an impromptu operation without the proper tools and preparations.
""You're lucky you're the father of my girl…or else this would've ended much more tragically for you…""
