The mansion of the Orhart family, now in decline after the fall of the Teutonic Order.
It was barely recognizable as a mansion, a crumbling eyesore, yet within its ruins, the pride of the Orhart family was still etched everywhere. It was the fame that had once made the Tutonia Knights, and by extension the family itself, renowned as the continent’s foremost martial house.
“…Charlotte is training in swordsmanship under the guidance of the Heavenly Sword at the House of Lancaster.”

“Miss Charlotte is no longer a girl who must be protected unilaterally by me.”
“I suppose so. One cannot deceive the blood flowing through that child’s veins. It is all thanks to the young master’s virtue.”
