I believe the person who truly changed King Harald’s worldview and steered Elbaph toward pacifism was none other than Hajrudin’s mother. Her presence in Harald’s life may have been far more influential than people realize.
It’s telling almost ominous that Harald chose to marry a giant from outside Elbaph, especially considering how traditional and war-driven Elbaph’s society is. Unlike the battle-hardened giants of Elbaph, it’s likely that she despised senseless violence and held a very different philosophy.
Her ideals may have deeply affected Harald, gradually turning him from a ruthless conqueror into a noble and reflective leader.
The transformation we saw in Harald one that ultimately led to his downfall at the hands of his World Govt may not have come from a political shift or religious revelation, but from the quiet influence of someone who dared to think differently in a culture that valued strength above all else.
