The Empire of Reimia (3)

- So, you're suggesting that I become your servant here and now, in exchange for a promise of vague benefits in the distant future, which may not even come to pass? Well, uh... - the guy hesitated, trying to find a more polite way to phrase it. - I, uh, as a "commoner"... I'm not used to planning so far ahead. I'm not accustomed to these courtly things, and they are outside my area of interest. But I believe that we are all in the same boat within these walls, however naive that may sound, which means we should show mutual solidarity. After all, we are all here in more or less equal conditions. So, if you need any specific help in the future, feel free to ask. I'm ready to help friends free of charge.
