Bab 41: A Clash of Convictions

"And you call yourself the future king of the Cescil kingdom, Your Highness? While you make no effort to protect your people. What would you command under your rule if you lost your people? Ruins, corpses, and dust? You clearly do not understand the true meaning of power and war!" -- Ragnar

=====================================

Sophia's realization about Ragnar's attitude was indeed eye-opening. Despite his sexist tendencies, he seemed to be much more open-minded than she had given him credit for.

His willingness to listen to her so intently was a testament to his character and an unexpected surprise. Indeed, it was a refreshing change from the usual belligerence and arrogance of men like Ragnar.

Sophia's newfound appreciation of Ragnar's character left her feeling invigorated and excited.
