Lamprecht

Lamprecht (ランプレヒト, Ranpurehito) is the second son of Karstedt and Elvira, and a brother of Eckhart, Cornelius and Rozemyne. He is an archknight who currently serves Wilfried as a retainer.

With a patient and easygoing personality, Lamprecht is dedicated to his work as Wilfried's retainer. However, his inexperience leads him to be less strict than he should be. He also seems to feel a sense of loyalty and affection for his charge, since he stays with Wilfried even after his reputation is tarnished by entering the Ivory Tower.

Lamprecht was born the second son of Karstedt, the Knight Commander, and Elvira, his first wife, making him an archnoble of Ehrenfest. Because the men in his family had historically served as knights to the archducal family, Lamprecht trained as a knight from a young age.

After his older brother Eckhart refused the position of Wilfried's guard knight, Lamprecht was selected. He lacked the experience to be strict with Wilfred, and his charge often ran away from his lessons and shirked his duties. Nevertheless, Lamprecht felt a sense of sympathy for him and felt it was his duty to do what he could in his role.

During his time at the Royal Academy he fell in love with a noble girl from Ahrensbach, and the two wanted to marry. The relationship was considered very feasible when Veronica was in power, since her faction was very supportive of ties with Ahrensbach, but the relationship fell out of favor after the relationship between the two duchies soured.

In addition to serving as a guard knight, Lamprecht also assisted the Knight's Order alongside his father and older brother. He was present at the trombe extermination mission that Myne attended as an apprentice blue shrine maiden, although they did not formally meet.

Lamprecht formally meets Rozemyne as his new younger sister on the morning of her noble baptism. When Wilfried dragged Rozemyne away after the ceremony, Lamprecht followed after them and was alarmed at the sight of Rozemyne collapsing. He later asked Ferdinand what would make a good apology present. As suggested, he offered Rozemyne a book.

Seeing Rozemyne's advanced progress in her schoolwork, Lamprecht occasionally asks her to help encourage Wilfried to study harder. However, Ferdinand forbids her from getting involved on the grounds that she already has too much work to do. In the end, however, Lamprecht's wish is granted: Wilfried and Rozemyne swap places for a day as an object lesson. Lamprecht accompanies Wilfried to the temple as his guard, where he is forced to help Ferdinand at the temple doing math-related paperwork.

While Rozemyne is asleep in the jureve, Lamprecht's request to marry a woman from Ahrensbach is formally refused by Sylvester. While he is disappointed, it is considered an unavoidable outcome due to the political tensions between the two duchies.

In the Archduke Conference following Rozemyne's first year at the Royal Academy, Ahrensbach successfully pressures Ehrenfest into authorizing the marriage between Lamprecht and the Ahrensbach girl he had wanted to marry: Aurelia, the niece of Aub Ahrensbach. The wedding of Freuden and Bettina is also authorized. While the marriage is in Ehrenfest's favor, since it brings more mana into the duchy, it is not clear what Ahrensbach will want in return.

Due to the political situation Lamprecht, Aurelia, Freuden and Bettina will have their marriage officiated at a Starbind Ceremony at the border. Only the families of the spouses and the archducal families will be present, along with the High Priests and High Bishops of the two duchies.

 * He is bad at math, which is why he's sympathetic to Wilfried's tendency to run away from his lessons.
