"If something like a bond even existed, you forgot that, like every law, there's a loophole as well. I'm referring to the unsaid, to the allusions, but above all to the will. This is what really makes the difference. I have no intention of betraying Scorpius or the group. I just want to bring our old leader back. The objective isn't contradictory, so the Curse can't hit me, assuming there really is one."
