When Eugene first decided to leave Brantia and return to the Caylor Kingdom, there was a single question that quite a few people had expressed.

- Why are you taking Princess Lilisain and the elven knights out of everyone?

Everyone could understand why Eugene was leaving behind Galfredik and Lanslo, as they could empower Luke as the new king of Brantia. Galfredik held great influence over the knights and mercenaries from the Caylor Kingdom, and Lanslo belonged to a family respected by all Brantian knights. As such, everyone found it reasonable that Eugene would leave the two behind and take Edmund instead, who was from the empire. However, Princess Lilisain and the elven knights had little to do with Eugene’s journey to the empire through the Caylor Kingdom.

Rather, it seemed more reasonable for him to take Partec and his men, as they knew Eugene the longest and had a deep relationship with him. If strength were the issue, the swordmaster Pranbow would have been an excellent choice.

However, Eugene saw through his original choice to the end and insisted on bringing Princess Lilisain and the elven knights with him. Everyone agreed that Eugene likely had a good reason for his choice, but it was rather strange for him to show such a strong stance on something.
