☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- ...And have you read the entire series of these books yet? - Feeling somewhat awkward about this conversation, the woman decided to slightly change the topic. - If so, how would you rate the reign of each of the monarchs? Which one would you prefer to live under, who simply seemed interesting as a person, and so on.

—Yes, I recently finished the last one. —nodded the knight, who was unable to feel any awkwardness. —Hmm... I started making short notes about each monarch, but I haven't finished yet. Of those who I liked the most... Perhaps, Sillione, the sorcerer-king. You know, we were discussing the topic of the ideal ruler in a philosophy club, and I, without realizing it, described a personality that was quite similar to him. I won't go into too much detail so as not to spoil your interest. What was he lacking? Perhaps, only immortality. —After flipping through a few pages of his diary, he stopped at other names. —As for interesting ones... For me, this category includes "ambiguous" personalities. I would be curious to hear your opinion on Delsahid and Hatea. I have a distinct feeling that historians have not told us something about them, but what is it? I understand Saikama on a human level; it is difficult to constantly be torn between duty and one's own soul. And that Tenth Monarch, with his political decisions, raises very complex moral questions for me about the justification of means to achieve a noble goal. Well, the rest can basically be divided into one of the sides, but maybe you can tell me what I missed later...
