Author's Note

Only the educated are free.
And freedom in my world was a rarity.
Honor and respect are purchased by blood and guarded with our life.
And I really am trying. I am.
Sadly, it isn't enough. And I've landed myself in a sticky situation, as the champion of the shadiest of nobles. I have to fight for my every breathe, everything is on display and nobles don't take kindly to mistakes.
