If you doubt yourself now, then who would be fit to guide them?" she took a deep breath, then continued. "Cindy is talented, yes. But she lacks the valor that is needed for a leader.

A true leader is someone who looks at himself and lowers his self-worth. Because his own men are more important than him. However, don't be swayed. A leader is as valuable as his own men. Your value... is worth just as much as the others." she turned to face Urdin.
