The head bodyguard broke into a smile as he watched my expression.
"Let me escort you inside." He held my arm again.
I yanked it away from him, risking my own fall. I was starting to realize just why Carl seemed to always be ready to attack. Because he was always attacked.
"Foolish of me to think that you were an extra loyal guy when you said you could do anything for the person you serve, don't you think?"
He shrugged. "I am a loyal person. I am loyal to the person I serve."
"By betraying Carl?"
"I was never on his side in the first place."
The confidence he said it with was maddening. He looked nonchalant, like he didn't even care that I knew. But what difference would it make? Would I ever be able to get Carl to trust me and hear me out myself? Afterall, to Carl, I am the enemy.
