It was about two years ago.
Elana newly joined the academy and was someone who was pretty popular even before her face appeared in public.
Reason: her father.
Her Father was one of the strongest Wardens—ranking at Eighth and possibly the strongest knight in the Royal Order who climbed through the ranks through his sheer strength and unshakable determination.
However, his popularity doesn't come from being solely strong—it was his conquest on the battlefield ten years ago when he left behind his battalion and charged at the enemy by himself.
The orders were to not advance and endanger the lives of the soldiers. However, Commander Ironhart couldn't let the enemy attack them first either since there were civilians at the post he was handed.
Torn between his duty and the orders, he chose to sacrifice himself and jumped into the den of enemies, taking them by surprise and executing more than two hundred evil god worshippers in that raid.
