Raublut

Raublut (ラオブルート, Raoburūto) is the commander of the Sovereign Knight's Order.

According to Rozemyne, he gives off "STRONG vibes" much like Karstedt and Bonifatius.

He has a prominent scar above his left cheek.

Raublut has a tendency to speak in short and precise sentences and accordingly gives brief and easy to understand explanations.

In the past, Raublut was the retainer of the former third prince. In the first phase of the civil war when his master battled his older brother the first prince, Raublut lost the love of his life to the war. After the death of the two faction leading princes, the former retainers of the second and third princes rallied behind the fifth prince Trauerqual. To strengthen the bonds between them and the long-serving retainers of the prince, as well as their relationship with Klassenberg, Raublut married the former Klassenberg noble and former retainer of the second prince, Hortensia. Both of them had no feelings for each other, but considered it their duty to go through with the wedding. Unfortunately, they were never able to have any children together, which lays heavily on Hortensia's spirit to this day.

Raublut is acquainted with Prince Hildebrand since the latter's birth. Over the course of the years, he occasionally gifted the prince toys.

Myne first meets Raublut at an inquiry into the ternisbefallen attack on the Royal Academy grounds during her second term at the Royal Academy.

Under the oversight of Prince Hildebrand, Rozemyne has to answer questions as to how she was able to give the blessing of the God of Darkness and regrow all the damage the beast did inside the Ehrenfest gathering spot.

At the meeting, Rozemyne was able to allay most of the suspicions leveled against her, but this also threw up questions on potential differences between the High Bishop's bibles in the Sovereignty and Ehrenfest. To look into this, the inquiry is adjourned for three days to allow Ehrenfest to send their High Bishop and Rozemyne's guardian Ferdinand to bring their bible to the Royal Academy.

Naturally, this also meant that the Sovereign High Bishop, as the custodian of the Sovereignty's bible, also needed to be invited. When everyone was gathered together, they made some interesting discoveries about the bibles. First, the fact that the High Bishop's bibles are magic tools, with protective enchantments that made the pages appear blank to anyone without direct permission from the relevant High Bishop, was revealed to the gathered nobles, when prior this knowledge appears to only have been known to members of the clergy. In addition to this, there are also passages of text that are even blank to people with said permission, unless they fulfilled certain requirements. Of the people present and with permission, only Prince Hildebrand, Rozemyne, Ferdinand, and Raublut are able to read certain pages - including the one containing the prayer to the God of Darkness - but not the Sovereign High Bishop or High Priest, which also explains why Immanuel was unaware of the prayer being contained in the bible. While it is not known what exactly the requirements to being able to read those passages are, based on the people who can and can not read them Ferdinand speculates it to be either an issue of mana capacity or elemental affinities.

With both the Sovereign Knight's Commander and a member of the royal family confirming that the prayer is indeed there, and that consequently Rozemyne had been telling the truth all along, she is cleared of all accusations, despite Professor Fraularm's constant attempts to have her charged with anything and everything she could twist into something resembling a crime or breaking of a rule.

Following Prince Hildebrand's royal debut and the announcement of his engagement with Lady Letizia of Ahrensbach, Raublut visits the prince in his villa. While there, he hands the prince a new toy and a box containing a feystone with a secret message. He informs the prince that in the coming semester in the Royal Academy, he is to gather information on Lady Rozemyne and that his sister-in-law Eglantine will be sent to the Royal Academy to teach the Archduke Candidate Course and a new female archlibrarian would be appointed. He suspects that the latter assignment is due to Anastasius wishing to keep Eglantine away from other men as much as possible. It also serves as a useful test of Rozemyne to see if she is willing to turn over mastership of the library magic tools Schwartz and Weiss or if she will selfishly try to keep them to herself.

In the secret message, which Hildebrand is to only listen to in his hidden room, he tells him that the only way to get out of his unwanted marriage is to become king himself. Raublut confides to Hildebrand that he believes that should he acquire the lost Grutrissheit, his father would step down without opposition. .
