[ Noctis not holding himself in high regard is nothing new, but he makes another fair point, he shouldn't be held in higher esteem just because he had been born royal... It causes her to pause. Pyra believes that he's special regardless of his status as prince, king, or even his ability to wield his world's magic, and she's taken care to be mindful of saying how much she appreciates his kindness, courage, and ability to inspire-- all qualities that are because of him being himself, not his bloodline.
But as for sacrifices, and being the only one to be able to save his world? That comes from his bloodline, his status. She's not sure if it would have been better or worse if the gods had picked a commoner or serf to be sacrificed instead. Choosing a sacrifice simply seems awful, no matter who is chosen. Unsavory, still, is the notion that he must sacrifice himself because the others have done the same for him, and his life in the grand propechy happens to value his as more for that sacrifice.
Before she can reply, the next memory begins to take shape. Like every other example of architecture she's seen of Eos, it's beautiful to behold, and she takes a few moments simply to be in awe of it. ]
The Oracles... they spoke to the gods of your world, didn't they?
[ She does recall Lunafreya mentioning something to that effect when she had been here. ]
