But fighting and winning is easy.
Fighting, losing and surrendering is hard. Surrender and feigning weakness is a mark of a true great leader when the situation is stacked against you
Of course, if you die before you could show your fang, then feigning surrender would become a true surrender.
Then instead of having the reputation of a wise leader you would be known as a ruler who lost your land.
Still, Aeryon believe that he made the right choice. Not that he believes that Zarkha would return to him one hundred percent.
He just believes that this is a bet he should take
"A leader also should learn how to make a bet. The world, like woman, favours the bold!"
Aeryon did not make his bet haphazardly.
He makes his bet because he believes there is a reason for this bet to succeed.
Those who make a bet without thinking of the chance are just relying on dumb luck. And that is the taboos of all betting method.
Aeryon think back what he sees and he notices it.
