For the first time since his arrival, Ube's face contorted into a frown, and his pulse quickened. He could ignore everything…beside those four words.
Alas, he couldn't form a retort. And as he floundered within his mind, a peal of laughter rang from Helmut's lips.
"Hahahaha! Well said."
Helmut guffawed, and at Ube's astonishment, rose from his knees to stand straight like an arrow. Blood still trickled from his lips, but the purple veins covering his snow-white flesh no longer pulsed, and his eyes shone with battle will!
"But Elia, rebels and other treacherous creatures will always find the means to justify their insurgence. Arguing with them is pointless.
Like father said, if you want something, snatch it! Whatever stands in your way, smack it! You need no reason but Will and Ability!"
*BOOOM!*
