It wasn't his fault?
Then what did Kaelus mean?
Alaric felt confused.
It was as if the two of them didn't belong to the same world.
But then again, the King's mood after hearing those words had indeed witnessed a change.
It had become better.
It felt like Alaric had just been freed from one of the shackles.
Stepping out of the darkness, and taking a step closer to the light.
Without giving Alaric a chance to react, Kaelus continued:
"Dix, what do you think is a must-have in war?"
This time, it was a question.
"What is it?" Alaric asked vaguely.
There were many answers to that question, but he couldn't think of the correct one.
Smiling pleasantly, Kaelus replied:
"It's sacrifice."
"..."
"In war, sacrifice is inevitable. We have to sacrifice, and accept it in order to achieve greater things."
"This…"
"It's like that time. In that final battle, many people sacrificed, but in return, we won, and obtained the peace that humanity has always longed for."
