Toin looked at Balator, who wore a faint smile, and responded with a stiff laugh,
"For... for the service of the country, it's only right, only right."
Theodore had seriously underestimated this Fire Lizard Slave, whom he had easily subdued. The Wizard's arrogance blinded him to an important fact.
Toin was of the Silver Horned Nobles, and even though he, with the help of a Wizard, had become a member of Linksa's Eye, the past splendor and pride of Nobility still bred resentment towards the Wizards.
This resentment was buried deep in their hearts because they had been implanted with Soul Seeds. They numbed their minds with all manner of debauched behavior, never daring to show their true feelings.
But Theodore mistook these acts as the inherent inferiority of a native race.
Arrogance was one of the most despised traits in a Wizard.
"For the service of the country, haha, indeed it is for the service of the country."
