"The Crest is a boon, but at the same time it is a chain that constrains fate. You can die from external factors, but you can't break the family's rules with your own hands. In other words, retirement is not allowed in the form of suicide due to frustration. Especially if it's an old family line. I'll tell you exactly why because you are ignorant to the fact. "The Order of Beginning" of the families that existed before the Christian era. The most sublime blood order in the magical world. A cursed, absolute pride, that continues the Order until the family line is cut off. That is what we call the Coronal Rank Designation - GRAND ORDER. It's a god-given responsibility from where the mage's family lines spread. Mr. Flauros was undoubtedly the heir of a prestigious magi family line that dates back to the Christian era. So he can't commit suicide due to despair." (Touko)
"...Pride? Absolutely strict pride? Huh. Well, maybe I can explain it. It's like being an ant in a hive." (Aoko)
"What? Did you really understand?" (Touko)
