Fanilly took a deep breath. She knew that Mayon's guidance must have been a factor in her current victories... But at the same time, she had to try harder. She had to prove to everyone that it was worth believing in her. That is was worth following her as Captain. But for now, she asked for Mayon's guidance. If nothing else, it would help sooth her doubts. And... perhaps, even if that was the case, was it not true that Mayon had faith in her enough to merely watch? That was somewhat comforting, in the end. But it did little to erase alls her worries, at the moment.

It was then that Tyaethe spoke, mentioning how some captains of the Iron Roses had no care for religion. To Fanilly, the Iron Roses' duty was above all the protection of the innocent. This both meant directly defending them and also taking care of threats to the innocent. Those who would harm the weak who could not defend themselves. For the sake of those who could be preyed upon, of those who could not fight for themselves. That was why the Iron Rose Knights existed, regardless of the faith of those they protected. But the Danbalion family was quite religious. It was possible that, had Fanilly not been born under a full moon, she may have found a place as a Priestess in the Church of Mayon. Of course, it was more likely that she would have simply remained nobility with no real military role, as her family had been for quite some time.

Fanilly was uncertain how she felt about those possibilities.

When Tyaethe asked what she would do if the Starlight Saint of Roses returned, however...

"If... if Saint Elionne were to return, I would step down," Fanilly replied, without much hesitation. She could not justify remaining in that position if the first Captain of the Iron Rose Knights returned. She didn't deserve this position nearly as much as Elionne Carthet, the Slayer of the Black Knight of Duiren Ghas and a True, Unquestionable, Faithful Saint of Mayon. Indeed, in spite of the period of time since her disappearance, it could never be said that Saint Elionne would not return. "There is no way I am as deserving of this position as the Starlight Saint."
