7.16.5 Two heroes meet.

Lucius was a loved child on all accounts.

Being the youngest child of his mother, he was always loved by her as well as his older sister, who tried her best to keep her little brother protected, and even planned to make it so that he would eventually take over the seat of his father, Minister of Defense in Cynark Empire and also a Royal.
