Theodore

Theodore (テオドール, Teodōru) is a mednoble from Kirnberger and Judithe's younger brother.

Theodore has violet eyes.

His mannerisms are very much like those of his sister, in particular the way the pouts when denied to do guard knight duty due to circumstances. When this is pointed out to them, they both vehemently reject this fact in exactly the same manner.

After their return from the Royal Academy following Rozemyne's second term Brunhilde introduces her lady to her younger sister Bertilde who is planned to become Rozemyne's retainer upon entering the royal academy. Not fully understanding the implications of her actions Judithe also introduces her younger brother to Lady Rozemyne. Both Cornelius and Angelica approve of the boy, with Angelica remarking that she had seen him train before and he is surprisingly strong for his age.

Hearing this Rozemyne agrees to consider him as a retainer once he starts attending the royal academy, which puts Theodore in an awkward situation. He wishes to follow his father's footsteps and serve Giebe Kirnberger. Thankfully Rozemyne neither takes offense at his rejection nor uses her higher status to force him to serve her anyway despite many other high-ranking nobles likely having done so in her position. Instead she commends his commitment and encourages him to follow his dream. As a potential compromise she suggests that he serve her only part-time. With her having sufficient adult guard knights she only requires more knights at the academy and thus wishes to have Theodore serve her only at there, without any obligations past his graduation. For her this would address the lack of guards at the academy and Theodore would not only get more chances to practice being a guard knight, but also receive the better training usually reserved for guards of the archduke's family. Theodore is interested, but chooses to take some time for considerations before agreeing or rejecting this offer.

A little later Giebe Kirnberger negotiates with Aub Ehrenfest and this arrangement is put into place in exchange for Kirnberger being the next province visited by the Gutenbergs.
