"Lucas, go a little easier on the guards here. They might be the ones to save us from a lot of trouble later on."
Elysia looked toward the terrified guard who had fled away from her because of her over-protective brother and the emperor. She felt sorry for the guard but it was also hilarious for her to see a grown man retreat like this.
"Well, these people could stop being cowards and grow a backbone if they want to talk to you. Besides, I don't think a coward is going to be of any help to me in the future."
Lucas dissed the guard who had run away from his ire. If the stuttering fool could not even look him in the eye now, then how would he ever follow Lucas's orders out in the field?
He preferred his soldiers to be loyal because they respected him and not because they feared him. But above all, they needed to not disrespect his sister in front of him or Lucas would snap at them.
