He isn't the most trustworthy person. He isn't the best person. He isn't honorable like other nobles. He'll lie and cheat and use whatever underhanded tactics he can to get by. He would never fault anyone for not trusting him.
... But he is trying his best. And Xie Lian's support means more to him than he could ever express with words.)
I would never doubt you, Xie Lian.
(He hasn't believed in someone like this... ever? Has he? Hm.
And one of those cursed bubbles floats by and Sisi you're finally getting your memory. Claude holds out his hand, his intention clear,)
