-This chapter is written in Elizabeth's POV-
I don't understand it.
When I first met them, they seemed like seasoned warriors. Their levels ended up being lower than what I thought they'd be, but they still showed experience and courage when fighting.
Every one of them understood the roles they were supposed to play, and not a single one cowered against me.
It was a magnanimous display, I couldn't help but admire their dedication to the boy. Even if he wasn't the strongest, surely there was something to him that captivated them so much that they were willing to trade their lives for his without blinking an eye.
At the very least, I could tell that his rule wasn't by fear or power, so I quickly became interested in him and how he managed to unite them so well under his banner.
I wanted to know the path he took, the one that earned him so much trust and appreciation from those surrounding him.
