Passage: In the grandest of halls within the Royal Palace of Elmsworth, a longstanding debate reverberated among the courtiers and scholars. Countless discussions surrounded the nature of leadership, emphasizing the importance of integrity, wisdom, and compassion. The revered philosopher Lady Margot proposed that true leaders are molded by the lessons of their past failures rather than by their successes. She recounted her own experience during a tumultuous year when she misjudged a friend's intentions, leading to a rift that took months to heal. This experience, she argued, taught her the value of vigilance and communication. On the opposite end, Lord Estran fervently argued that a leader should emanate unwavering confidence and that triumphs instill a sense of capability vital to leadership. Several voices echoed this sentiment, stating that the ability to inspire through past achievements is irreplaceable. Yet, others, like Sir Alaric, felt that it is not the grandeur of past victories but rather the strength drawn from understanding failures that equips a leader to face future challenges. The debate grew heated as courtiers leaned into age-old beliefs about what really defines a leader.
