"See, anything I say, because of you." Octavious nearly whispered into Victoria's near. She felt her skin crawl with how close he was to her. She saw Vincent's look and there was shame in it. She knew that he wanted to make Octavious pay, but him holding on to her was an Ace in the hole. It was against every fiber of his being to allow her harm.
"What guarantee do I have you won't harm her the moment I take a knee and give you the words you want? I want a guarantee she won't be harmed or we might as well just end it here." Vincent said, dropping another blade. He knew the oath that Octavious wanted, one that would tie him to service with Octavious. Not a perfect control, but a good one with the current situation.
