"For me, being a commander isn't just about strength," Roxanna finally said after thinking for a while. "A commander also needs the heart to protect others, and the kind of leadership that can bring all his warriors together."
Luan had grown up close to a leader, and it was clear he admired his brother very much. He did have some qualities of a commander, but compared to Zeir, the difference was huge.
Zeir had everything Roxanna thought a commander should have. He stayed calm in every situation, protected his family with everything he had, and had a natural presence that made people want to follow him.
Honestly, compared to everyone else—even Roxanna herself—Zeir acted like a complete adult.
[How old is he again? Twenty-seven? Well, that makes sense—wait… didn't I also die at twenty-nine?!] Roxanna wanted to smack her forehead. [I died at twenty-nine, and I still didn't know how to act like a proper adult?!]
[Shouldn't I have been the big sister instead?]
