Chapter 212: 15-year-old Inglis and the Evil Hyrule Menace (17)
「Are you okay with it, Lahti? Do you have the resolve to lead this Kingdom? There is no going back from here, you know?」
「I……」
「The fact that they went to the trouble of taking Pullum with them means our enemy plans to use Pullum in one way or another. This is why, while I know we need to hurry……I believe Pullum will be alright for a while. It wouldn’t be too late if we go to the capital first. Do we still prioritize Lekrea nevertheless? Of course, I will accompany you even if you decide to do so!」
Furthermore, Lahti left his own country to study in the Charalia Kingdom. If he still chooses to go directly to Lekrea and resolves himself to take over the throne, he won't be able to continue studying in Charalia.
Rather than getting swept by the momentum that would take him down a path he couldn’t go back, it was infinitely better to be aware of the choices he had in front of him and make his mind with determination, so that he would have less regret later in his life.
Inglis herself, in her previous life as King Inglis, also became a Hero and a King as she was burdened with too much expectation from her people, and before she even realized it, she was already past the point of no return.
It was precisely because she had that experience herself that she could see the junction where Lahti now stood. And since she already knew what would happen, she would show his options to him. After all, Lahti was a close friend of hers.
「We still have time to think. Use it and think well.」
After Inglis left those words to Lahti, she turned to Rafinha.
