[Mm, he needs to speak fast or this Count is never going to let him out. He'll die before he realizes his mistake, and he probably wouldn't even care. Eichi has to think quickly. Appeal to him, instead of sassing.

And so he speaks up.]

Ah, one moment! If it's only a matter of waiting, might I suggest being in your service?

[He hopes that draws his attention. He keeps speaking either way.]

A handsome and refined man like you must have so much to do. Isn't that right? I'm certain there must be some way that I can both help you and prove myself while under your watchful eye.

After all, I have reason to believe that your "people" may not all be on your side, so I'm a bit concerned about your methods. I'd rather prove myself, if possible.
