Chapter 85

• Alex bit his lower lip. "I am well aware. You can call it stupidity or compassion, I really don't care. I just know it's the proper thing to do. I am more or less responsible for what happened because if the Chamber of Lords approved your plan, those commoners might still be alive. It seems that despite all my efforts, and no matter what I do, people keep on dying because of me.”
• Viscount Tom saw the gloom in Alex's eyes, and he quickly interrupted , "Nonsense, Earl Alex! Things always happen for a reason, and the deaths in the Baron's manor had nothing to do with you! It was other people's wrongdoings. You don't need to get depressed because of that! Even if it was true, you helped far more people than the few dozen that died because of a greedy Baron!"
• "A few dozen, you say... How many died, Viscount?"
