Squad leader of knights of the Order of the Temple
–
Character Overview
Squad Leader of the Milis knights of the Order of the Temple “Shield Group”. Zenith’s younger sister and Rudeus’s aunt. Unmarried.
The fourth daughter of the noble Latreia Count’s family in Milis. She bears a striking resemblance to Zenith and is a well-endowed beauty.
She has a tomboyish and free-spirited personality, but she is also dutiful and shows gratitude to her lifesaver, Eris.
She joined the knights of the Order of the Temple, defying her mother Claire, and was expelled from her family. However, she achieved results within the knighthood and reconciled with her family.
She has an unusual preference for younger individuals, stating that she likes them “around pre-adulthood”.
As a devout follower of the Milis faith of the Water God Style, she dislikes demons. However, she shows flexibility, such as letting Ruijerd, who had taken care of Rudeus, go free.
She has intermediate-level Water God Style combat abilities. Her commanding skills and communication abilities, which earn the trust of idiosyncratic individuals, are exceptional.
While serving as the escort of the Miko, who is said to be a candidate for the next Pope, she was attacked by assassins from the Pope’s faction. With the help of Eris, who happened to be present, they successfully protected the Miko. However, due to the death of her subordinates, she was demoted and transferred to the customs administrator of Westport. She aided Rudeus and others, who were in a dispute with Baxhir, and provided them with free passage.
Later, she returned to being the Miko’s escort and became the captain of the “Guardians of the Holy Tomb ,Anastasia Keep,” the most adept combat unit in the knights of the Order of the Temple.
She attempted to execute the “Magic Snatcher” punishment (which involves severing both arms, wrapping them in cloth imbued with a barrier that seals magic, and solidifying them with earth magic) on Rudeus, who was suspected of kidnapping the Miko, under the orders of the Cardinal. However, she was defeated. After the incident, at the Miko’s request, and with Rudeus’s signed petition for leniency, she was spared from further demotion but was reduced from captain to vice-captain.
She once said that she didn’t need to find a marriage partner, forgetting about it until Claire reminded her. She started omiai (formal marriage interviews) afterwards.
In the Holy Kingdom of Milis, it is customary for parents to find a marriage partner, which was one of the reasons why Therese couldn’t get married.
