"Do you know why your Jialan isn't as popular among the nobles as the Imperial Royal Wizard Academy?" Laine turned around, his blue eyes staring directly into the female sorcerer's silver pupils: "Because you don't know how to show respect. No one is born lowly. Emperor Charlemagne herded cattle and harvested wheat in his childhood. His Majesty Ludwig worked in the fields when he was young, and I too was once a weak little kid, fighting with stray dogs for fruit. According to your thinking, does every man need to prove himself in front of you before he's worthy of your respect?"
"So in your eyes, does everyone need to be deemed 'useless' first, looked down upon by you? Do you know why Villarld treats you so poorly? It's because he was once despised by a member of your Jialan when he was young."
