"Can you please take my butler, Nicholas, under your wing?" Baron solemnly asked, well aware of his own greed.
Bowen was shocked, "What kind of insane request is this?"
"Master, please, you don't have to do this," said Nicholas, tears welling up in his eyes.
Baron continued to explain, stopping Nicholas with a hand gesture. "Nicholas has a forbidden bloodline. If he gets arrested with me, they will surely pry into his identity. He can't live independently for the same reason. Only being someone's servant can help him conceal his identity. Sir, my family has promised to keep Nicholas safe, and I have to keep my word in place of my father."
