Description
Garrett Vance is a high-ranking Knight Commander of the Royal Knights in the kingdom of Zied. He is widely regarded as an embodiment of the ideal knight, carrying himself with seriousness and sincerity. His strong sense of duty and honor defines his public image, yet these same traits make him susceptible to deception when it comes in a guise of purity and virtue.
In terms of personality, Garrett is earnest, disciplined, and unwavering in his commitments. His upright nature, however, can shade into a rigidity that blinds him to hidden truths. He trusts appearances and official narratives, which leads him to accept Arianne Trebias’s false claim that she saved his life, and to become her fiancé out of gratitude. This choice is not portrayed as malicious but as the result of a well-meaning knight who lets his wish to believe in a clean, unblemished rescuer override his awareness of the real cost of his survival. Once he commits to that belief, he clings to it, even treating Lua Restoatt with coldness when she tries to explain what actually happened.
His role in the story is pivotal as the unwitting center of the central betrayal. Garrett is critically wounded in a demonic beast attack, and Lua, who secretly loves him, uses her agonizing healing power to transfer his injuries onto herself, collapsing into a coma. When she awakens, she discovers that Arianne has taken credit for the miracle, and that Garrett has become engaged to Arianne. From that point onward, Garrett stands as the living symbol of Lua’s lost love and the falsehood that shattered her life. He is the person Lua once admired and the target of her eventual resolve to expose Arianne’s deceit. His position as both the object of former affection and the unwitting prize in a political scheme makes him a central figure in the conflict between Lua, Arianne, and the wider corruption in the temple.
Garrett’s relationships are defined by misunderstanding and manipulation. He was the crush of Lua Restoatt, the saintess candidate who genuinely saved him, yet he remains unaware of her sacrifice and instead believes Arianne is his savior. This misapprehension entraps him in an engagement built on a lie. With Arianne, he is a trusting partner deceived by her carefully constructed saintly image; his seriousness makes him an easy target for her social climbing. Concerning Lua, his attitude shifts from polite distance to outright dismissal once he aligns with Arianne’s version of events, reflecting a defensive need to protect the narrative that justifies his choice.
Notable abilities center on his martial prowess. As a Knight Commander, he is a skilled swordsman and a capable battlefield leader, entrusted with high responsibilities within the Royal Knights. There is no evidence of supernatural powers; his strength lies in physical combat, strategic command, and the authority he holds in the kingdom’s military hierarchy.
His development follows a slow unraveling of certainty. Over time, Garrett begins to question the official story, as hinted by his pondering whether Arianne truly saved him. This internal doubt emerges as cracks in his steadfast belief, though any full recognition of the truth is depicted not as a triumphant redemption but as a source of deep personal regret. The ideal knight is left to grapple with the weight of his own blindness, making him a tragic figure whose honor becomes a burden once the lies are laid bare.
