Pact Absolute

"Envoy of the Bai family, after meeting Miss Thelema, what do you make of her?"
"The young lady is refined indeed, with peerless grace... Yet the butler standing behind her is even more extraordinary."
"But why... does Miss Thelema have a street accent?"
At that moment, the envoy had yet to learn the meaning of "a careless tongue invites disaster." Because those who catch that lady's eye rarely escape her domination in the end.
Then again, forging a pact with a lady of vast connections and elegant taste, one who occasionally enjoys role reversal, might... not be so bad after all?
