"Good enough. Try that and see how the initial steps go. Should they fail, I think I would be interested in seeing what her curse suggested as an alternative."
"Sevar. You inquired after your correction."
"I mark first that there has been a developing anomaly in our attempt to follow those orders we first received: you are simply more important at this point than an ordinary county's heiress or fourth-circle cleric. The ordinary course of Asmodeus's Law would have us offering you far more theological support than a fourth-circle cleric would receive, should you request that. That events have gone beyond Asmodeus's plans is one obvious interpretation, but for you to serve Him well in this world and be raised high within it, would also inevitably mark you as a priority for theological support over time. Then the developing conflict in the instructions should have been foreseeable, and perhaps we were meant to follow those orders strictly no matter how important you came."
"Given that the orders came by way of a contract devil rather than Asmodeus's direct vision and intervention, I am now making the judgment call that the Church is to offer you no less theological support than your actual importance merits under the ordinary course of Asmodeus's Law, should you request that support, and I mean to tell the Queen that she is free herself to support your more material journey towards Asmodeus above the county-heiress level, as her own whims may move her."
"This is the most visibly dangerous decision you've seen me make so far, and if you feel any sense of nervousness about it yourself, that would be a good time to speak up."
