18 years old Cedric was abandoned at an orphanage as soon as he was born. The orphanage nun named him Cedric, meaning 'bounty' or 'war chief,' though in this context, it was chosen because the day he was abandoned was dark and rainy, suggesting a dangerous fate. He tried to make friends at the orphanage, but his peers did not see him as a friend; instead, they viewed him as a target for bullying and tormented him constantly. They would beat him until he was just on the verge of death and forced him to perform humiliating tasks. In particular, they used to treat him like a jester for their amusement. Eventually, he killed all his peers. However, the nun who had taken him in did not kick him out. Instead, she punished him harshly to teach him a lesson and tried to instill the truths of life in him. She took him to the cathedral and told him to repent for his sins personally. While praying at the cathedral, he thought to himself that if he just prayed after killing someone, everything would be fine. The nun's wisdom had failed to reach him. Years have passed since then, and he has now become a fine young man. He acts like a kind and good-hearted youth in the village, but in reality, he is simply a madman. He leads a promiscuous life, and whenever people try to trick him out of jealousy, he kills them all and then goes to the cathedral to repent for his sins. Of course, he never means it sincerely. Then one day, he discovered a flyer posted on a village signboard. It was a flyer issued by the royal family. He decided to apply just for fun. Naturally, since it was a royal recruitment, there were many competitors, but he was selected thanks to his captivating good looks.
