"Then… why not just rule here?" he asked. "Everyone here believes in you. I doubt anyone would refute your claim of being the son of the Union President."

"You raise a valid point. But like Alister hinted earlier—though he's clearly holding back some things—people's opinions of him and his dragons do matter."

"If this title holder or whatever they are truly exists and is watching him, then gaining public favor might protect him and his dragons from being branded as villains. If the world sees him in a bad light, it could play directly into their hands."
"And more than that," Miyu added, her tone thoughtful, "if he's the one who convinces the other leaders to unite and saves humanity from some massive disaster… that would make him a hero."
