Julius:  “…Do you not think that this is an exceptionally arrogant reply?”

Julius:  Dismay entered Julius’ expression, as if he were listening to a tale of an empty dream. “Do you understand? People are divided according to their birth. Perhaps it is best to use the term capacity. Nothing is gained by attempting to surpass one’s own capacity. Furthermore, you will never gain what you seek in doing so, especially not the title of knight, which falls so frivolously from your lips.”

Julius:  Julius drove the scabbard of his own sheathed sword into the floor with a thump. On cue, the knights assembled behind him produced the same sound a moment later. The hard, heavy echo displayed that he had all the knights behind him. “Those who pursue knighthood require loyalty to lord and kingdom and the power to protect their liege by force. No one may call himself knight without either one of these things.—Can you still say there is the will, the power, the resolve within you?”

Subaru:  “Don’t get all high and mighty on me with your buddies. I know I don’t have the power to follow through on how I feel as I am now…”

Julius:  “You say that you accept your current lack of power? I see; that is a precious thought. If you had not acknowledged your weakness, I might have been forced to reduce myself to your disgraceful level.” Subaru was helpless to respond as Julius, unable to conceal his contempt, heaped scorn upon him.

Julius:  “Next you will no doubt say your feelings will carry you through. I see. Your emotions conquer all. Fine and well. Did you strive to earn the right to stand in this palace with the might of your strong and lofty feelings? Did you come here in an effort to insult us, the Knights of the Royal Guard, to the highest degree possible?” The stern words bit into him. But even then, Julius did not sheath his verbal blade.

Julius:  “Only those of certain birth may be recommended for entry into the Knights of the Royal Guard, the pinnacle of knighthood. This is not out of deference to lineage, but because their ancestors have displayed their loyalty to the kingdom, down to the very blood that flows through their veins. I do not accept that you, nor the mercenary calling himself Al, have any qualifications to call yourselves knights.”

Subaru:  “Bloodline… It’s not like a person can do anything about something like that…!”

Julius:  “Indeed. It is just as I have said. People are separated by birth. It was the same in your home. Just because two people have been born does not make them equal.”

Subaru:  “—”

Julius:  “Of course, not all born to knightly households become knights. Many lack the will."
