And then, you have Hydran whose remark about Leonidas being the "root of evil". You seriously begin to wonder if he has something to hide from even Moldias and the Privy Council, and his remark about Hiroto also proves that he too belittles our MC for thinking differently towards Leonidas.

Can't say I put a pitty onto Leonidas for him being dismissed from the Privy Council for opposing the alliance with Agnica for misusing Hybride's power to crush Gasel. However, this also shows Leonidas's vulnerable side behind his brash attitude and it seems to me that Hiroto is his only friend now. To see him pushing Hiroto's aid just like that...
