Ah, what a pity that I was born too late to make the beautiful Brahea my wife, and too early to meet anyone equal to her beauty. — The Count placed his palm over his face and lowered his head in defeat. — But let's get down to business. As I understand it, you need something from me, and as it happens, I could also make use of your services, but before that... Let me assess the strength of Gungnir's pupils!
