"Teacher, I want to become an assassin," said Renault with determination. "I want to be the assassin who will become the tower's paramount lord."
Tower's paramount lord? Lord Fate (Bowen) knew very well what Renault was referring to. He had read about the tower and the seat of the lord paramount in libraries. It wasn't just a seat but a complete powerhouse that could control the tower and all its rankers at their whim. Bowen had never known Renault had such an ambition. Why particularly the tower? There were other powerhouses equal or stronger than the tower. Why not choose them? Bowen had already heard Renault talking about joining the tower when he was in the barn. why is this kid so fascinated by the tower?
"Tell me, Renault, why do you want to become the lord paramount? Why are you so obsessed with it?"
"Because... it's... it's because..." Renault hesitated.
