"Captain..." I walked up to the man and clamped down on his shoulders. "You're wrong. You say this, but you won't be doing anything other than being greatly selfish."
"What..." The captain's eyes widened in discontent. He seemed slightly offended, but his respect for me held it in.
"You're one of the lesser responsible people, Captain. The true culprits are the Dark King and the ones up top who were swayed by his sweet nothings."
The captain gulped. I put more strength in my hands and peered into his eyes.
"Captain. You don't have to die. That is the wrong course of action."
"T-then...?"
"You should change things from within. Just like the rest of them are planning to. They can only get so far, Captain. But you have already risen in ranks can have their back while leading them from the front."
The captain's eyes widened.
