■ Characters
Brigadier General Cassius Bright (voiced by Kyle Hebert in English, Kenji Hamada in Japanese)
Age: 45
Estelle’s father, a dashing and amiable middle-aged gentleman. After a distinguished career in the Royal Army, Cassius became a bracer. In the years that followed, he made a name for himself by completing assignments all across the continent.
Following the incident that shook Liberl in the events of 1st Chapter, he resolved to resign as a bracer and return to the military once more.
Though his recent promotion means he can’t step away from the military, Cassius keeps a watchful, fatherly eye on Estelle’s new journey from afar.
General Morgan (voiced by Richard Epcar in English, Kozo Dozaka in Japanese)
Age: 62
A stubborn, powerful old man who leads the entire Royal Army and commands the Border Division.
After Cassius, his right-hand man, left the army for the Bracer Guild, he developed a deep distaste for bracers. However, after witnessing Estelle and her allies’ heroic efforts during the coup incident, his hostility appears to have softened somewhat.
Though he remains in his position as general, he’s left leading the army to Cassius following Cassius’ return.
Lt. Colonel Cid (voiced by John Patneaude in English, Kengo Takanashi in Japanese)
Age: 32
A sincere, perhaps overserious Royal Army officer who serves as the commander of Leiston Fortress.
In addition to the swordsmanship he learned from Cassius, Cid is a versatile fighter capable of using advanced Arts. His abilities place him amongst the cream of the crop of Liberl’s Royal Army.
In recognition of his aid in preventing a catastrophic incident in the events of 1st Chapter, he was promoted from Major to Lieutenant Colonel at a remarkably young age.
Queen Alicia von Auslese (voiced by Cindy Robinson in English, Eriko Nakamura in Japanese)
Age: 60
The 26th monarch of Liberl, well known not only for her grace and dignity but also for her true inner strength.
Her resolute dedication to her people’s well-being over the years has earned her the respect and adoration of Liberlians of all ages.
In the wake of the incident that threatened her kingdom in 1st Chapter, Queen Alicia is prioritizing Liberl’s safety by pursuing stable relations with its surrounding nations, the neighboring Erebonian Empire and the Republic of Calvard.
Duke Dunan Von Auslese (voiced by Kyle McCarley in English, Yuta Odagaki in Japanese)
Age: 35
The nephew of Queen Alicia and a potential heir to the throne.
Perhaps due to his butler Phillip continuously spoiling him, Dunan is an inconceivably self-absorbed hedonist. His popularity amongst the kingdom’s people is extremely low.
During 1st Chapter, he was manipulated into serving as the figurehead of the coup attempt that threatened the kingdom. As punishment, it appears he has been confined to house arrest at the royal villa.
Phillip Runall (voiced by Doug Tompos in English, Kazuki Kyan in Japanese)
Age: 58
A thoughtful, well-mannered gentleman who has served as Duke Dunan’s butler for over 20 years.
Phillip was responsible for Dunan’s early education, and thus feels a heavy sense of guilt for what he sees as his own shortcomings in raising him.
Even with the Duke now under house arrest at the royal villa, Phillip continues to wile his days away dealing with his lord’s endless selfish demands.
