The scenery defines what Elion was feeling for a moment. He doesn't even know why he was feeling so light for the day, however, maybe because he is influenced by certain someone and that certain someone will always lead him to the lady that he met in the Heiston Empire. The first time that he felt something different after returning to his empire.
For the long journey that he had, as he thought, he learned differently from the other empire - which is their enemy empire to their Lambourge empire. Different things led Elion to question some of them in their empire. Golden flashes of warm rays coming from the sun hit his skin, and he only chose to close his eyes rather than hide from it like he usually does in the past
He prefers darkness over sunlight, but for the first time in his life, due to his pretense after meeting Victoria, he learned to appreciate the warm rays of the sun that he wasn't even aware of it.
