(Lewis Hamilton Arena, Leo's POV)
Leo continued to stare into Soron's eyes after making his decision, as the Great God returned the gaze with a calm, unreadable expression.
Leo had considered countless factors before making this choice, but in the end, he walked away from becoming the Dragon not because of the political complications or the power struggles that came with the role, but because deep down, he simply did not feel comfortable in his own skin taking it on.
By nature, he was a man driven by freedom, someone who moved on his own terms, acted on his own whims, and answered only to himself. The idea of living a life devoted to serving others felt alien to who he was.
He recognized that he was far too selfish to care deeply for anyone outside his family, and in his heart, he truly believed that the commoners of the Cult deserved better.
