As someone who had once personally suffered the torments of the Path of Life and Death, the Silver-haired Princess was more than qualified to say so.
A Knight Lord said coolly,
"No one wants to suffer. Those lacking resolve will always try every trick in the book to escape it. That's why we don't need their consent. It's for their own good."
Upon hearing this, Mivana shot to her feet, a low, beast-like growl rumbling in her throat as she said,
"Glorifying suffering, praising hardship, and believing it to be a necessary path—this is why the Knight Realm is so sick."
"'It's always been this way' is not a valid reason. I will never accept an approach that betrays the Knightly Path."
Mephit stroked her glass of fruit wine and said slowly,
"What you're saying might have some merit, but this is how we've always done things. Since the system still functions, there's no need to change it."
