Dimensional Descent

Leonel continued to observe Sael.

She knew well how the Peaks operated. There was no small number of internal conflicts. The question was which Peak would be willing to be enemies with Hero Peak? And the answer was.

It was that simple. From the very beginning, the idea of joining a Peak to get the right to leave the mountain was asinine. It would never happen.

As for joining Valiant Hall? That was even more ridiculous. Compared to the Peaks, the restrictions they had on their members was even fiercer. They weren't even allowed to become involved in such struggles to begin with, after all, their main purpose for existing was to remain neutral.

From the very beginning, Sael's ask of him was ridiculous. There was no other way to put it.

"You want to save your organization, but you aren't willing to risk owing any favors. You want my help, but you don't want me to seek revenge for the slights levied against me. You want me to lower my head, not the rock the boat, follow all your rules, and still care enough to help you in the end.

"You take everything and sacrifice nothing.

"Don't you think this is a little too naïve?"

Sael opened her mouth to say something but she really couldn't find a response.

"Maybe I'm too naïve too." Leonel muttered. But considering Sael's dazed state, it was unknown if she even heard him.

He might have been right in that he was, because at this moment, seeing how lost Sael looked and knowing how much effort she had tried to put in to make sure everything stayed together… He didn't know if he even had the heart to go after Sarrieth any longer.

He might have reprimanded Sael about sacrifice, but maybe James was right. He was just a hypocrite. He wasn't much different from her at all.
