"You should not have the audacity to look at me like that."
"Poor little orphan son of a disgraced foreigner. No one would have even noticed if you disappeared over night. We could have given you over to a commoner family. Instead my father picked you up from the muck, so you would serve and be grateful."
"Do you understand that? Can it get through your thick skull? All your life, you were prepared to serve me. You were made for it. You are not a knight, Aris. You are a mindless thing they trained and then gave to me when you were old enough."
"Do you think you have a right to be angry at me? I will dispose of what is mine however I wish. You should be happy I haven't discarded you, even if you refuse to give me what I want. I keep you even though you are a failure and you dare to look at me like that?"
"I should have gouged your eyes out for not groveling at my feet. Tore out your tongue for talking back at me. Maybe one day you will reach the end of my patience and I will do just that."
"Despite everything, I am still good to you. I am merciful. You could have no other life. You'd become an animal. That is why I will hunt you down and drag you back if you ever try to run away. A stupid thing like you couldn't hide from me. So do not waste both of our times. Trust me, things between us can still get so much worse."
