บท 127: 125. Spiritual leader, the final totem

Clad in exquisite armor and wielding the Black Knight's Lance, the young man gazed at the gathered remnants of a defeated army. Thinking of the murdered Jonathan, a flame seemed to burn within his heart, wishing he could pierce the detestable Charles with his lance right then and there.

More than ten leaders of the South Ceraph Reclamation Army huddled together, each one somewhat disheartened and all bearing traces of sorrow, even as some quietly sobbed.

Charles truly did not know who Jonathan was.

Jonathan was the last prince of South Serif as well as the only member of the Royal Family. If he had been willing to surrender, no duchy for Archduke Ferdinand, but at the least, he wouldn't lack a viscounty. If the Emperor were particularly pleased, it's possible he might have even bestowed an earldom.

Jonathan was also the supreme spiritual leader of the South Ceraph Reclamation Army, the final totem of the people of South Serif.
