Hadrian and his fellow Nobles don't stand on my side because they owe me something; they chose to join me themselves because they don't want to be on the losing team. I accepted them because they can't do me any harm. I am well aware of the fact that they are using me, therefore, I also make them work as payment.
Luckily, they have a good sense of business, so they accepted my order without complaining. The event was yesterday. Now, I am back at Verniculos after making sure that everyone who lives in the territory I liberated has my Geas. It wasn't hard to convince them to have it. I only needed to tell them that it was to notify us if any of them was in a danger.
Of course, Celia also played a great role to convince them. In their minds, she is the saint person who will never lie to them. She is willing to go against her family to fight for what is true, so her lying is highly unlikely.
