My relationship with Heliot was unlike what everyone thought it was. I liked him, but not as a man. I liked his honesty. He was the type of person who disliked going around in circles. Maybe, that's why we got along easily as we didn't need to hide our hidden agendas and met a middle ground.
I needed his help for building Grimsbanne and he helped me establish the duchy in a brief span of time. Not just that, but his skills in garnering detailed information were a great help for me.
In exchange for all that, Heliot only wanted one thing from me — my life.
Unlike Stefan and Zero, who wanted to use me, Heliot wanted me dead… for good. He had a connection in the mainland of the vampires, and only then I came to know that my existence as a human who stood above the blood hierarchy was something that shouldn't have existed.
