[ For his part, Aymeric does not see himself as proof of anything in particular. Jonathan has continued to walk his chosen path, a path that seems far nobler in Aymeric's mind. He is merely a knight who goes where he is told, following whatever orders he is given. He takes lives, whereas Jonathan tries to save them.
