Change of Allegiance

[ChillerMiller]

Céline waited for a few more second before entering. The next moments would be crucial for her, as they would have a major impact on her future life. She had enough time to think about this meeting, even though she did not really know a lot about the person she was about to meet. All she knew was that LeBlanc was a bit like Quétineau. A power-hungry person that does not really care about the well-being of other people. Céline was no stranger to people like that, Quétineau was one of them...one of many.

One would probably be extremely nervous when entering this office alone, it was LeBlanc’s office after all. And that person had a certain reputation, which would make people think twice if they really wanted to talk to her. Céline was different in that regard, the people in charge of her “training” made sure to remove unwanted feelings such as fear. She had been trained well enough to suppress these feelings. Some would say that this has also removed some parts of her humanity.

Once she got a bit closer to LeBlanc, she bowed to her “Bonjour Lady LeBlanc, Duchess of Maine, my name is Céline Valcourt. I’ve been sent by the lady Quétineau to introduce myself. It’s an honour to meet you in person.” Céline said. That introduction was a bit strange. A normal soldier would have simply saluted. This on the other hand looked more like it was a meeting between servant and master.
