"Baron has to be one of them, right? What about Byleth? A powerful warrior who just showed up in my life out of nowhere. She has to be one of your people too, doesn't she? And what about everyone else? The bigshots I saved. Did you plan all of that?"Julius looked momentarily startled. "No. Only Baron was my underling."Baron… The man who had helped me fly. Without him, I would never have reached the height I stood at today. So he knew."No wonder he kept trying to protect me even when his life was on the line. He was trying to earn your favor through me," I muttered. "That's a steep price to pay."I tried to process what I had just learned, forcing my thoughts to move faster. What was I supposed to do with this information? How was I supposed to face everyone I now knew?"If that's how you see it, Ian, I can't change your mind. I trust your ability to understand all of this," Julius said with a sigh. "Still, you need to internalize it quickly. More trouble is coming your way, Ian

The remaining executives seemed unaware of the things Winston had done behind their backs

But I'm worse. If I have to go to hell, I'm taking you with me."He shoved Hera aside and lunged at me, his dagger flashing in a dazzling blur.My face drained of color.
