Dox, as a Bloodline Wizard, has always held his battle strength in high regard. So, when he saw the questioning eyes of the Wise Sovereign, his pride was deeply hurt.
"I have never been afraid nor timid in the face of battle; this time there was a special reason!" Dox declared with emphasis.
Vay, who was beside him, nodded in agreement: "That's right, he's always been fearless in battle."
Dox was moved as he looked at Vay, proving once again that true friends shine in times of adversity.
However, Vay's next statement felt like an arrow to Dox's chest.
Vay: "The reason he is fearless and not timid in battle is due to his intuition, which is quite good. If he feels he can win, he'll go for it; if not, he won't provoke. So indeed, there's no issue of cowardice or fear."
Dox: "..."
Vay: "As for why he changed his mind this time, he's right, his inspiration talent was damaged, so he couldn't foresee whether this battle was worth fighting, leading to his bold words."
