[He says it... But Hayame cannot imagine a world in which a man serves no one. There was always someone above you... Except for the few, the very few at the top. Anyone claiming it wasn't so was either delusional... Or they just didn't want you to know who that person was.]

So instead of dealing with my condition, you would rather me ask a woman I do not trust to put her magic in me? To let her manipulate my body as she wills?

[He really must think her stupid.

That, or he's just another one of those people who seemed to not see the horror she did in such "magic".]
