"At the very beginning, being a soldier was just a job for me."
"I didn't care who my employer was, nor who my opponent was. Whoever paid me—I listened to them. If I couldn't win, I'd run. I had plenty of war experience and was very confident in my ability to escape."
"When I learned our opponent was a Holy Knight not protected by the sacred spirits… hmm, what's the difference? If he were protected, I'd probably feel a little uneasy, as I'd never encountered one before. If he wasn't, then what sets him apart from a regular lord?"
"The first time I saw Lord Gray—please allow me to call him that—was outside Pearce Church. I had been stationed not far from King Benedict II, and I heard their conversation clearly."
