She entered his orbit after rescuing his daughter from peril, an act that left him indebted just as her own marriage disintegrated, leaving her without resources or protection.
Their arrangement formalizes a raw exchange: Cassian receives the essential touch that keeps his affliction at bay, while Aveline gains the shelter and stability she lost. The pact binds a desperate nobleman and a woman with nothing left to lose, each dependent on the other's compliance for survival.
