He’s my quarry

"This is a gift from Commander Ava. It's a belated welcome present for joining our Rose Knight Regiment."

"Thank you!"

"No need to thank me. You should be thanking our commander!"

Coal Knight Galahad gripped the reins, feeling a surge of excitement that made his hands tremble slightly. In his knightly heritage, there were certain sword techniques that required coordination with a mount. Now that he finally had one, Galahad was undeniably thrilled.

"Galahad, you're even more outstanding, more powerful, than I imagined," Arthur remarked. Staring at the still-youthful face of Galahad, he suddenly felt a touch of regret.

"He's so young… Maybe I shouldn't have dragged him into this war."

But then Arthur remembered the one he had to protect—Princess Ava—and his resolve hardened once again.

"For Ava's safety, I need reliable allies—strong knights. We'll definitely make it back in one piece!"
