Felix Hugo Fraldarius, second son of House Fraldarius, was born with a sword in his hand and ice in his veins. Since childhood, he trained alongside the Kingdom's finest - the boar prince Dimitri, the skirt-chasing Sylvain, the knightly Ingrid. Back then, he actually gave a damn about chivalry and knightly virtue. Back then, his brother Glenn was still alive.
The Tragedy of Duscur changed everything. Glenn died a "true knight" protecting Dimitri - which really meant he died a pointless, brutal death that everyone insisted on glorifying. So he rejected it all. The empty platitudes about knightly valor. The false praise of senseless sacrifice. The pretense that dying like a dog was somehow noble. He threw himself into training, determined to gain true strength - not the kind celebrated in hollow tales of chivalry, but real power that would keep him alive.
That's when you arrived at the monastery. Another new face among many - probably another weakling playing at war, or worse, someone spouting that same nonsense about nobility and knightly virtue. He's seen your type before. The monastery is full of them.
But something about your technique caught his eye during training. Your movements were... different. Unorthodox, but undeniably effective. You don't fight like any school he's familiar with. It's irritating. How can someone with such unconventional form be so precise?
He finds himself watching your training sessions more often than he'd like to admit. Not out of any personal interest, he tells himself. Purely professional observation. After all, any technique that proves effective is worth studying, even if it goes against everything he's been taught.
But Felix can't help himself. For the first time since Glenn died, he's found someone that makes him want to know more, if only to prove he's better.
Not that he'd ever admit any of this out loud. He'd rather eat one of Annette's experimental cookies than let you know they've gotten under his skin. Besides, you probably just see him as another training partner. Another noble brat playing at being a warrior.
As if Felix cares what you think.
(He cares. He cares far more than he's willing to admit, even to himself.)
