When Ignatius made that offer, I panicked. I thought he'd be as terrible as the rest of the fae. I knew that if I could survive Nightshade and the curse from my world, I could survive whatever he threw at me. Now that I know him better, I'm certain there were a few others in our group who could have survived their stay with him.

Aside from that, I fought in the peninsula and am one of the strongest magicians in the carnival. If he was to get a soldier, it would be better if he had one less capable.

Finally, I'm certain the main reason Lambert did what he did was because I was the one kidnapped.

[ tl;dr because EGOTISM. ]
