Patricia wanted to push a little harder to get a deal that favored her, but seeing Andrew's expression, she knew immediately that there was no chance of changing his mind.
She sighed in resignation, stood up, and said, "I will consider your proposals," then she left. Andrew looked at her seriously, because he didn't know if she would really consider his proposals or make some move that would harm him.
He wanted to send a Shadow agent to watch her, but he knew that with Patricia being a countess it would be difficult for the agent to be able to do that job, since under Patricia's command there must be several experts who could find him.
A count or countess is part of what is called high nobility, for this reason, they cannot be underestimated. The powers that these high nobles have are not simple and Andrew did not want to risk offending them.
