well hopefully we don't have to sit with this cliffhanger for too long.
But I respect the "kindness can sting more than a blade" approach of Sitoen. Yes, sometimes you want to rearrange someone's face when they're as much of a shit as the prince from the previous kingdom, but there's something to be said for taking the high road every once in a while - especially when it can really drive home how small the other person has been.
Well I'm nearly certain, since the other frontier soldier saw them walk off, that it won't be just Saryu solo-ing all those assassins. But I do bet that something will happen to Sitoen, to up the drama, before it's ultimately resolved.
