I want to compliment Joshua Rosfield on his faith in Dion Lesage.
They haven't met since they were 9 years old. But this man is 100% sure that, not only will he not kill him or Jote, but he'll listen to his story and help him.
House Lesage is responsible not only for the fall of Joshua's house (triggered by Phoenix Gate), but also his father's death, Clive's enslavement, and the continued mistreatment of Rosaria.
But still, this man walks into a camp full of soldiers, makes his way quietly into Dion's tent, uninvited, and stands prim and proper with his hands behind his back even when Sir Terrance draws his weapon, he does not budge.
And his faith is absolutely spot on. Dion, though weary and hostile at first, did not allow Terrance to harm them, and listened to his tale.
All the while, Joshua refers to him as "your highness" and bows to him because Joshua has no kingdom left and has lost his rank (assuming they were equal 20 years ago). But at this point, Joshua is content to be viewed as a "commoner", or even one of his subjects. But Dion doesn't accept that either, he immediately knows that he is a dominant of noble blood and treats him as an equal.
And last, but not least, Joshua has kept his existence a secret from everyone. And the only person that he reveals himself to, besides Clive and Jill, is the son of the man who would be most interested in killing him, if not trying to enslave him for Sanbreque's cause. And instead, Dion joins him.
Like, damn, Joshua. I do not know what happened at that Rememberance Ceremony, but you were right on the money with that leap of faith.
