What was the purpose of the seven heroes to name the 4 people as betrayers of
their quest, even though

Why demean the memory of their friends instead of honoring their memories?

Übel Blatt Manga: What was the purposes of naming the 4 lances of betrayal?


My memories of Ubel Blatt are very foggy (sadly).

I am certain it was to further increase their personal status and profits. Not
only did they fulfill the hardest of quests, they even saved the kingdom from
the traitors.

And obviously they didn't think of the 4 as friends.

(If I find the time I will reread it :)

answer


Every hero is praised and loved by people. But it's hard to have many heroes.
Don't you think, that if there were 9 heroes, 4 dead of them would actually
get even more attention and praise, than rest 5 survivors, since dead ones
would be considered as martyrs?

I suppose, 5 betrayers named killed heroes as lances of betrayal, to get as
much fame and praise as possible

**I'm updating my answer after rereading several tomes.**

In 5th tome, 6th chapter, when Glenn confesses to Ms. Gleaa, that 4 lances
were not traitors at all, she asks him same question, as you did here. What
Glenn answers:

> We were young... Too blind and too consumed with ourselves to consider other
> options...
