Chapter 422: The Nature of Trust
Norgai do air out some of his worries when they were talking
One of his worries that if he surrender there is some chance that some of the Elders might be averse to that decision and would attempt a coup
Aeryon assure him by saying when the moment comes, these Elders would not have any power to change the outcome
Give them some threats, give them some benefits and these elders would be amenable to reason
Aeryon could see that Norgai could see things further away than other people.
But even if that was true, then this idea to surrender would take some courage to do. The courage that he did not choose wrong
What if Aeryon is not a wise ruler and he chose wrong? There is always that kind of possibility.
Putting the survival of the entire tribe into another hand would always require courage. And looking at Norgai, he is not the kind of person who is selfish.
He truly cares about his tribes.
And in his mind, surrendering is making his tribe survive. He even have the confidence to make his tribe soar even higher with the decision to surrender
This kind of breadth of mind, this kind of far-sighted vision...while Aeryon does overestimate Norgai, he is quite sure that Norgai is not this kind of person
