Chapter 93: There are no excuses in my life (4)
Bale, the vice-captain of the Crimson Eagle Knights, was a member of a branch of the Tristan family.
However, this did not mean he had been appointed vice-captain simply because of his family ties. In fact, being from a branch family had pushed him to work even harder, and the marquis himself acknowledged the grueling efforts Bale had undertaken to reach his position solely through his own abilities.
The title of vice-captain of the Crimson Eagles wasn’t a rank that could be claimed through connections or heritage. It was a position earned solely through personal strength and honor.
In that regard, Bale took pride in his skills, and the public often referred to him as the "Red Owl of Tristan," a knight poised to represent not only a generation but an era.
...Though he wasn’t the only one with such a title; there were seven such representatives.
Galahad's Fierce Wolf,
Lionel's Black Lion,
Pendragon's White Lion,
Lohengrin's Swan,
Tristan's Owl,
Mordred's Bulldog,
Agravaine's Wild Horse.
