Volume 14: Accumulate Thinly, Erupt Mightily, Chapter 5: Teasing

Having sent Carreila away, Komer was filled with infinite emotion. The creed of the knight constantly circled in his heart, impossible to dispel. People like Carreila from the Salvation Society truly exemplified the image of a knight, although these individuals often were battered and bloodied by the cruel and opportunistic reality. Yet, they didn't change their faith or pursuit because of this; such perseverance was the true embodiment of knightly grace. People like himself, although dressed in the garb of noble gentlemen, often had no control over their actions. As a lord of a territory, he had to first consider the survival and welfare of the people before he dared to discuss other matters. This was probably the essential difference between nobles and knights, though many used this reason as nothing more than a comforting pretext for themselves.
