Change of Allegiance

“The fact that you too feel resentment towards Lady Quétineau will make it easier for me to serve you”, Céline replied and felt sort of relieved. “However, it is not possible for me to believe everything you have just told me. She -will- find a way, I am certain of that. But given that she would be against the Grand Maréchal, it is likely that she will need some time in order to plan her actions properly. It would not be in her interest to endanger her own position.”

She thought for a moment. There was something she had to tell LeBlanc, even though it could easily cause severe problems for Céline. “Moreover, I must apologize for what I’m about to say. I have never served the King...and that will not change in the future. I only serve one master. It used to be Lady Quétineau. Now it will be you, Lady LeBlanc.”
