In this short scene, the reader is introduced to a new character named Kucinich. He is the protagonist of the novel, and he has been waiting for someone to understand him from the perspective of the reader's point of view. He tells the reader that he is the first person to give him the idea that he can rely on someone, and that he hesitates because he is not used to relying on someone. He feels that if he shows his vulnerable part, he will not be treated well, but now he has the answer. He says that he will protect the kingdom and the civilization he grew up in, and swears that his oath is faithful and unwavering.
