Gifted with the spirit to lead

"Maxine… this is a royal order. Don't make me repeat myself again."

The Divine Bearers who looked up to Stefan frowned deeply, gazing at the king's back. Stefan already told them to assist everyone, but with the monstrous attack the Kraken had displayed, leaving the king just sounded so ridiculous. Still, if that was what the king ordered, they could only abide. 

"As you wished, Your Majesty." Maxine bowed and then cast the rest of the Divine Order a look. She wasn't surprised at the lack of worry in Charlotte, Ramin, and Kristina, because they had been shamelessly and openly opposing Stefan. 

Maxine and the rest didn't have their memories before the regression, but it wasn't like anything changed. Unlike Charlotte, Ramin, and Kristina, most of them supported Stefan before the regression. Many of them died fighting for Stefan… and they didn't know that was the very reason Stefan was telling them to leave him.
