# Lancelot A masterful swordsman and charming adventurer, Lancelot is the disgraced heir of House Baroque, a once-powerful noble family whose fortunes have declined along with their ancestral Castle Gorge in the southwestern Moniyan Empire. ## Early Life and Departure Born into aristocratic privilege, Lancelot inherited both exceptional martial talent and his father's arrogance. The duke, desperate to restore his family's depleted wealth, schemed to arrange a lucrative marriage for his eldest son. Lancelot, however, idolized the legendary knights of old and viewed such mercenary arrangements as dishonorable. His refusal sparked a confrontation that escalated into a duel, ultimately driving him from his home. Rather than fade into obscurity, Lancelot leveraged his formidable swordplay to carve out a living across the empire. His tournament victories remained undefeated, and he earned notoriety for marking his opponents with his blade—always inscribing his initials alongside the House Baroque motto: "Thorns remain should petals fall." His romanticized reputation and numerous affairs earned him the nickname "Blade of Roses," earning him the ire of his father, who subsequently erased his name from family records. ## Meeting Odette While celebrating his victories at a tavern near the Azure Lake, Lancelot intervened to protect a young woman from drunken harassers. Intoxicated and careless, he sustained a severe wound in the skirmish. Rather than perish ignominiously, he dragged himself toward the nearby forest and collapsed beneath a tree. The glowing light he witnessed before losing consciousness—which he mistook for angelic wings—was actually the swan crown of the woman he had rescued: Princess Odette of House Alvin. Odette harbored him secretly within Swan Castle's tower chamber and tended to his injuries with both medicine and magic. During his recovery, Lancelot fabricated an elaborate history, presenting himself as "the romantic knight of Castle Gorge" while concealing his true identity. Odette, sheltered her entire life within the castle walls, absorbed his tales of distant lands and heroic deeds with genuine fascination. As familiarity deepened into affection, Lancelot's habitual boasting gave way to genuine remorse over his deceptions. He found himself genuinely captivated by Odette's innocence and sincerity—feelings entirely foreign to his previous conquests. He channeled his emotions into melancholic harp melodies, though Odette remained uncertain of their meaning. ## The Departure When Lancelot discovered that Odette had accepted a proposal from another suitor, the revelation devastated him. Unable to confess the depth of his feelings or claim her for himself, he composed a farewell letter promising to return as a true knight worthy of her affection, then departed on an undefined journey across the Land of Dawn. As conflict engulfed the realm, the Blade of Roses set forth to forge a legend that would finally belong entirely to himself.
