Knight’s honor

"Galahad, I now officially bestow upon you the title of Coal Knight."

"This isn't meant as an insult but rather an honor—a knight's honor!"

Galahad bowed his head, dropping to one knee.

"Young man, welcome to the Rose Knight Regiment! In the Rose Knight Regiment, our credo is love for one another, unwavering faith, and unbreaking honor."

And so, Coal Knight Galahad joined the Rose Knight Regiment and marched off to the front lines.

Meanwhile, at the royal palace, a secret meeting was underway.

Present were the three most powerful figures in the kingdom: His Majesty the King and the two Grand Dukes.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Sword Mercenary Corps has found something unusual in some ruins," said Grand Duke William as he handed a copy of a parchment over to the king.

Accepting it, the king's eyes flickered with surprise, which quickly turned to shock.
