Kneel

Arthur wasn't acting merciful or compassionate, but he knew this man wouldn't believe he was Lorius without reason. Someone influential was spreading propaganda. The same person told the Duke of Fire and Larza of Arthur's location was now spreading the image of 'Lorius.' 

'The Calamity.' Arthur thought to himself as he jumped on the carriage. 'Laughably, I can't refute this. My goal here is to ensure Solomon gets transported to the trial of the holy crown. Maybe I am Lorius, but that doesn't matter.' 

His past weakness was the reason that Arthur needed to take such extreme measures. If he hadn't overestimated himself back then in the underground tunnel, there wouldn't have been a reason for Solomon to save him. 

'There are always mountains beyond mountains, heavens above heavens, and a foe too strong for you to handle.' Arthur reminded himself. 

"Seika!" 

"Merciful Seika!"
