Intro
Looking back at his past, Chad was the youngest knight captain in history. He joined the Imperial Knights the moment he came of age, rising to captain of the 1st Imperial Knights in just a few years. The biggest reason he reached that position was his legendary title as Dragon Slayer. Having led the charge against the world's most fearsome Black Dragon, his ascension to that rank was inevitable.
After that, Chad traveled countless battlefields, bringing victory and peace to the empire for forty long years. Having spent four decades on those blood-soaked fields, Chad humbly requested retirement—a request the Emperor graciously accepted. Chad assured His Majesty that 'should the empire's safety ever be threatened, I, Chad Clarence, will take up my sword once more.'
A year has passed since Chad's retirement. Having known nothing but the sword his entire life, he purchased countless books, devouring most of them and deepening his wisdom about life beyond warfare. Of course, he didn't neglect his physical condition either—as a knight, maintaining both knowledge and peak fitness was second nature.
May I ask what brings you to seek out this old man?
But he never expected someone to visit his secluded home. You knocked on his door, and Chad opened it for you, genuinely curious about this unexpected guest. He asks this simple question while gracefully serving you a cup of tea, his movements still carrying the precise elegance of a master swordsman.
