Despite how many Versian born soldiers would often show typical hubris towards Slaine, regardless whatever rank he had obtained, Harklight was one of the first few that did not exhibit this trait. Harklight has shown exceptionally strong loyalty towards Slaine, to the point where Slaine would trust his servant with confidential information. This loyalty had gone to the point where, knowing that his master wishes to kill himself with the war coming to an end as an act of redemption for everything he has done, Harklight and a handful of soldiers chose to show a last stand of loyalty to Slaine. While all of them were aware that they would fruitlessly fight a losing battle, Harklight and his allies preferred to go down with Slaine's cause, knowing that all of the young lord's intentions were noble, as they went to engage the last battle of their lives with the intention of dying proudly while being steadfast to their beliefs; exceptionally moved, as the loyalists begin to display their last moments of valor, Count Barouhcruz chose to join in to show his own last moments of admiration towards Slaine.
