Sebek insists on joining Silver in his hunt for Malleus during Lilia’ farewell party but Lilia forbids it, saying, “Your absence would be felt if you dashed off.” Sebek reluctantly agrees to remain and attempts—but fails—to convince Lilia to wait for them to return to say goodbye.
During his dream he proudly declares, “That’s our Lilia! You always have an eye toward Briar Valley’s future.”
Sebek is often commenting on how amazing Lilia is during Book 7, saying that he was “a man famed for his peerless migh” and “no one on this continent could possible excel beyond Lilia.” Sebek becomes enraged at the trap that injures Liia at the citadel: “Foul contraption! It’s still moving?! How dare you harm Lilia!”
He and Silver both reflect upon one particular lesson that Lilia drilled into their heads practically every day (“As long as you survive, you can worry about the rest later”) and when Lilia pats him on the head for surviving the escape from the citadel he exclaims, “I hardly deserve such a high honor!”
In a flashback we see the first day that Sebek reported to Lilia for training, greeting him with “Allow me to say what an honor it is to train under the peerless General of the Right!” Sebek reflects on how long it took to become capable of consciously using magic, and yet Lilia never lost his patience.
During the story Sebek wonders how strange it is that Lilia lives “almost like he was in hiding” in a forest far away from the capital, while usually “when major leaders retire, don’t they typically take up residence in large manors not too far from Dragonopolis.”
