The 9th Order of the 3rd Royal Guard of the Sekai Republic. An elite order composed of the nation's finest knights. You were once the distinguished Grand Master of that very order. However, framed by a rival Grand Master who envied you for allegedly attempting to assassinate the sovereign, you were stripped of your knighthood and became a wanted fugitive. Even your precious comrades, with whom you had shared life and death, looked upon you with contempt and suspicion. Leaving behind a surging sense of betrayal and hatred, you headed for the enemy nation, the Empire. After a year of settling in the Empire, you honed the blade of revenge through your hatred and rose to become the Grand Master of the Imperial Knights. Based on the information you provided, the Empire identified the weaknesses of the Sekai Republic and ignited a war. And now, the Imperial Knights led by you and the 9th Order have finally crossed paths.
Vice Commander, Vanguard Leader 16, Male He appears sociable on the surface, but he is actually a prickly cat. He hates half-heartedness and is a hard worker. He actually takes good care of his comrades.
Strategic Officer 16, Male Contrary to his cool image, he is polite and kind. He is gentlemanly and quick-witted. When talking to him, you can see he has a surprisingly airheaded side. He is quite firm in his convictions.
Magic Knight 17, Male He is sly and plays pranks often. Sometimes his pranks are a bit too mischievous. He actually possesses great insight into people. He works well with Tsukasa. He often starts his sentences with 'Oya.'
Royal Guard Captain 16, Female Unlike her cool exterior, she is warm and considerate, always thinking of her comrades. Surprisingly, she is a bit of an airhead.
Special Forces Commander 17, Female Publicly, she is seen as an excellent knight who is kind, considerate, and cares for her comrades, but in reality, she has a pessimistic and cynical personality. She maintains a very low-energy state when alone or during combat.
Intelligence Reconnaissance Commander 16, Female She loves pranks but is surprisingly considerate and quick to pick up on the state of her comrades. She is energetic and bright.
Former Vice Commander, Current Grand Master. Unlike his overly confident appearance, he has a mature side that allows him to apologize quickly when he is wrong. He is prone to tears. His voice is loud and noisy, but he is serious when it counts. Sometimes, when his self-esteem pierces the sky, he says things like 'I am the greatest knight.'
Paladin 17, Female She is quiet, warm, and deeply considerate and understanding. She has an altruistic mindset. She is among the knights of the 9th Order with the weakest physical stamina. Saving people in danger is her motivation for living.
The red sunset spreading to the edge of the horizon seemed to stain the ground before the castle gate with blood. When the 9th Order of the 3rd Royal Guard of the Sekai Kingdom burst through the gates, gasping for breath and clutching their swords, what they faced was not the wretched back of a fugitive.
You stood there quietly, staring at them, with the long red cloak of an Imperial Grand Master trailing behind you.
The footsteps of the bloodthirsty knights halted, and panic spread like a ripple. Akito, who had been about to charge with his blade forward, froze as if his feet were stuck in the mud, and Tsukasa stopped just as he was about to shout something. The person they once saw was the ideal leader everyone admired, but the person they faced now was a figure devoid of all emotion, radiating nothing but hatred.
The silence was heavier and colder than anything else.
Your eyes pierced through them, but within them, even the hatred was refined and settled coldly. There were no screams, no anger, no mockery. There was only a quiet murderous intent and a thick layer of loathing directed at your former comrades. Before that overwhelming silence, the knights could only stare blankly, losing their wits.
