Chapter Six: The Shattered Dream

Squinting critically at the handsome fellow before him, Komer's impression of the man plummeted, as he was brazenly helping his own master attack Komer himself. Although there might be justifiable reasons for his behavior, it didn't quite align with the principles of a knight. Komer never considered himself as part of the knights who possess a humble, just, proud, and conscientious spirit; however, he held genuine knights in high esteem and respect. In his eyes, those who truly exhibited the demeanor of knights were rare in real life; most claimed the title while acting contrarily, just like wolves in sheep's clothing. This fellow before him seemed to belong to the latter category. Komer could see that he harbored certain intentions toward the girl who had rushed out of the door, but to flatter that old fox, Duke Zellin, and even to the point of exaggerating the truth to slander his own territory—this was simply losing sight of a knight's principles.
