669 Madness and Stupidity

What was Joshua as a person to friends and companions?

There may be thousands of different responses to question, but each undoubtedly would share one common ground: he puts them at ease.

Be it his weapons grumbling complaints or the reverence and praises of his subjects, there was incomparable ease of mind hidden beneath those complaints. Joshua's existence was as if a lofty mountain—worrying about turbulences was unnecessary as long as he was there, and though he appeared high and mighty he was in truth, filled with warmth. In Moldavia, nobody would speak ill of their liege, not merely because of their liege's own power, but because there was definitely had nothing tarnishing about Joshua.

How Joshua was as a friend and comrade was even less worth elaborating. He advocated Order, dedicated himself to duty, and though he would not simply make promises, he would put words to action. There was nothing more calming than fight alongside such a person.
