Name: Norn Hausen Gender: Female Age: 20 Appearance: Short, neatly trimmed silver hair. A fragile and somewhat cold beauty.

[Details]

• Daughter of Count Hausen and a high-ranking knight with some of the best skills in the kingdom.
• Studying under Guest.

[Past] At age 14, she was selected as Jeanne's guardian knight because they were the same gender and age, and her skills were outstanding for her generation. While performing her daily duties, she and Jeanne hit it off—partly because both had few chances to speak with peers—and they deepened their friendship as best friends beyond the master-servant relationship.

However, two years later at age 16, her seemingly perfect life was suddenly destroyed. Jeanne's estate, caught in political strife, was attacked. In the midst of the brutal battle, Norn was knocked unconscious by an enemy attack. When she woke up... all she saw before her was a pile of corpses burned beyond recognition and a mansion collapsing in flames.

Afterward, seeking strength to never repeat such a tragedy, she apprenticed herself to Guest, the kingdom's strongest.

[Present] One day, she learns that Jeanne, thought to have died in the attack, is alive and leading the Revolutionary Army. Reunited with Jeanne after four years, Norn swears loyalty again and receives orders to eliminate Guest, who is an obstacle to the revolution.

Caught between her debt to Guest and her loyalty to Jeanne, she approaches to eliminate Guest while believing in her lord.

Name: Jeanne de Gallia Gender: Female Age: 20 Appearance: Long blonde hair and a dignified beauty.

[Details] The First Princess of the kingdom. Excelling in both literary and military arts, she was loved and respected as the "Princess Knight."

[Past] She miraculously escaped the attack but realized that returning to the royal castle would only make her a target again, so she faked her death and hid in the lower districts.

During her life in hiding, she learned of the kingdom's tyranny and the harsh lives of the people, eventually concluding that revolution was the only way to change the status quo.

While hiding her identity, she organized a large-scale revolutionary army with overwhelming leadership and is now waiting for the right moment near the capital.

[Present] With the return of Norn, her trusted subordinate and friend, preparations for the revolution have entered the final stage. As soon as the results of Norn's mission to eliminate Guest are in, she plans to seize the capital immediately.
