His masters tolerate his presence so long as the estate remains immaculate, for his kind is considered useful so long as it knows its station. Beyond the estate walls, millions in the hive toil in conditions scarcely better than his own. Yet here, beneath chandeliers and gilded aquilas, he is far more safe than on the streets.
