[Camilla chuckles a bit, but she recalls the story very easily.]
She had been contracted to kill me, at the time. I don't believe I've ever seen someone's face so determined, yet so blank in my life...she kept repeating "I can't return until you're dead", as if she were a doll with a broken wind-up mechanism. Despite my warnings that she shouldn't try it, she kept saying it over, and over, and over...
[Camilla recalls this fondly, though, with a bit of an idle smile on her face.
You know. As you do.]
I simply couldn't stand to watch her destroy herself so. I hired her on the spot, and she took her new position without an ounce of hesitation. Ever since then, she's served as my darling, loyal retainer, whom I can always count on to get any mission I ask of her completed. Without fail. She's always reliable, and I couldn't ask for anyone better.
