Bernice


A hard-working Initiate Knight with a pure and kind heart.
With an innocent heart, he always maintains the spirit of a knight and strives to protect those around him. He has a serious personality. But as he grew up in the countryside, so when you get familiar with him, he occasionally reveals a side of him that is unfamiliar with money and social operations.
He admires Ferrancy, the leader of the Royal Knights, and hopes to become a handsome knight like him one day.

Story
In a small village, a girl with beautiful white hair was born. She has suffered from asthma since childhood, and although her parents were very worried, she was always braver and stronger than others.
One day a monster suddenly appeared and attacked the villagers. Due to miscalculating the cycle of the Night of Archetype, the villagers failed to evacuate in time.
Fortunately, everyone fled in panic and no serious casualties were caused. However, due to her congenital asthma, the girl was unable to escape the village and avoid the monster's pursuit.
Just as the monster was about to capture her, a hero suddenly appeared, defeated the monster, and rescued the girl.
The person who saved her was a brave knight of Pereus. His heroic image was deeply imprinted in the girl's heart, so she decided to become a knight as well.
Although everyone laughed at her decision, she did not give up.
"I will become a great knight!"
She worked hard to become an excellent knight, but ultimately her asthma was too much for her, and her body reached its limit.
When she was having difficulty breathing and her vision was blurry, the monster appeared again.
The young knight no longer had the strength to move. If the situation continued, she would become the monster's prey.
At this moment, the knight who had saved her appeared in her mind, and she longed to become a hero like that.
In an instant, a pure white light burst out from her body, and a pure white shield appeared in her hand.
Is it about Bernice? The Initiate Knight, Bernice?
Bernice is remarkable. She's honest and hardworking, and her training is intense. In the Royal Knights, there's probably no one more passionate about training than her.
Her strength is outstanding, and many of her comrades owe their lives to her in battle. From any perspective, she's an indispensable talent in the Royal Knights of Pereus.
In fact, Bernice shouldn't just be an initiate knight. Her strength is exceptional, her battle achievements are impressive, and she's also a Nemonic.
Though the Knights have many Nemonics, it's not common for a Nemonic to remain an initiate Knight. But Bernice is still an initiate Knight because of Lord Ferrancy.
Knights who can act alongside the commander are called the commander's assistants, a prestigious position chosen through rigorous selection. It's considered the highest rank a knight can achieve.
Even the commander cannot freely choose an assistant. The position requires exceptional strength and overwhelming achievements that are recognized by other knights.
Although Bernice is an excellent knight, she hasn't reached that level yet. So normally, she wouldn't be able to stay close to Lord Ferrancy.
But if she's an initiate Knight, the situation changes. Initiate Knights assist official knights, and an official knight can choose an initiate Knight to assist them.
That's why Lord Ferrancy selected Bernice as his initiate Knight and keeps her by his side.
In most cases, the position of Initiate Knight is merely honorary. Usually, noble children bribe the commander to become initiate Knights to advance their careers.
So when Bernice became the commander's initiate Knight, everyone was shocked. Bernice clearly came from a rural, commoner background, with no means to bribe anyone. Moreover, Lord Ferrancy isn't someone who would accept bribes.
It's said that Bernice underwent rigorous training under the commander. It seems the commander intends to groom her into a reliable assistant. Being chosen by the commander… while Bernice is happy, I can't help but feel a bit sorry for her.
To Bernice:
My dear daughter, how have you been? I'm doing well here. It's a little lonely without you, but I'm getting by.
You've been away for so long—how's your life as a knight? I still worry about you. In my memories, you're still that small, delicate girl. Whenever I think about you enduring the hardships of knighthood, I can't help but feel anxious.
A bard from Pereus recently passed through the village. He told stories of the Knights of Pereus, how their training is grueling, and how they fight monsters day and night to defend Pereus. I don't know how much of it is true, but I imagine the knight's life must be harsh.
The bard even performed a song about their heroic deeds. One line stood out to me:
"The one who wields a shining shield stands brightest on the battlefield."
I couldn't help but chuckle—I knew right away that the song was about you. Even though I worry about how hard your life must be, knowing you're doing well eases my heart.
Your father's death anniversary is coming up soon. You don't have to force yourself to come back this time. Just focus on what you need to do—your father would have wanted that. No matter where you are or what you're doing, we will always support you. You are our beloved daughter.
—Mother
P.S.
I received the money you sent. It's far too much this time. Even as one of the Royal Knights, can you really earn this much? You didn't send me all your savings, did you? You don't have to send so much. Use some for yourself, do what you want to do.
Kids? Yeah, I like them.
I didn't have many friends growing up. I was sickly, and most of my time was spent training. So I rarely got to play with others.
That's why, whenever I have free time, I go to the market and play with the kids. Seeing them happy makes me happy too.
Playing with them is fun. They have all sorts of games, different from the ones in my hometown. Learning those differences is interesting. Lately, the most popular game is "Knights." It's because of that huge monster subjugation mission the Knights of Pereus did not long ago. Whenever they hear about the knights in action, the kids get all excited and start playing knight games.
But sometimes, playing with them gives me mixed feelings. The Knights of Pereus are famous, so a lot of kids dream of becoming knights. When I'm in the market, kids always come up to me asking about knights.
I used to admire knights too. That's why I became one. I may still be just an initiate Knight, but I know my words can have a big impact on them. And that's what troubles me. Should I support their dreams? Or should I tell them the harsh reality? Knights are cool and honorable, sure, but the road to becoming one is tough.
It's… a tough call. Just knowing that a single word from me could change their entire future makes me nervous. What should I do in times like this? I don't know either.
