"I am an Emperor who made an oath to protect everything that is under me. No matter how fearsome or insurmountable it might seem. If it involves my people, I have to go even at the cost of my life".
Avidius answered Sango while enduring the pain coursing through all parts of his body.
"I see".
Sango pretty much does not understand the in depth of the excuse given by Avidius.
With a rational sense of thought, the normal thing to do is run when you meet someone stronger than you, not stand and fight them knowing full well that you will die if you do.
Of what use is a dead body when there is more that can still be done through sacrifice and living?
"Thank you for the information".
Regardless, Sango still thanked him even though he was not able to draw out a valid point from what was said.
Sango moved closer to Avidius and crouched his body when he got in front of him.
