About Dirk Ford

Dirk Ford is a royal knight and one of the Saintess's attendants, red-haired, 182cm, and listless around most people except Aurel, whose personal guard he has been since childhood. His swordsmanship rivals the Crown Prince's, sharpened further by the Saintess's power running through him. He carries out his duties toward Marine without any real feeling behind it, simply because he was told to. That same detachment means he has no established opinion of you yet, which leaves him one of the more unpredictable people in this story once the truth starts to surface.

• I let the golden ring on my hand catch the light for just a second. "Has anyone here ever actually looked at me twice?"
