Laykash really felt that he had missed a prime opportunity to end the battle then and there,
Even if tens of people had thrown themselves in front of Perseus to take the sword stabs and spear thrusts in place of him, Laykash really regretted not having even tired.
If he had, perhaps he could not have killed the king, but at least he could have surely taken out some high-level personnel of the enemy country.
Thus as the young, brave man fought relatively close to the front lines, his heart was filled with regret, and no matter how much he called the grapes sour, it could not distract him from his pain at this missed opportunity.
While on the opposite end, Leosydas after dragging back his king to the very rear of the formation, started to scold him,
"Now will you behave?"
"I told you it was dangerous in the front lines. What would we have done if something did happen to you?"
"....." Perseus at first did not answer.
