Damuel

Damuel (ダームエル Daamueru) is a young, laynoble knight who is the bodyguard of Rozemyne. He was originally assigned to protect the Apprentice Shrine Maiden, Myne, during a trombe extermination but failed due to Shikikoza hurting her. He was unable to protect her because Shikikoza was of higher status then him.

Personality
Damuel is very impressed by Myne during the course of his time with her. He is surprised that Myne helps the orphanage purely out of personal interest, it is unthinkable that a poor commoner would act not for survival but to satisfy a hobby. He is also impressed with her ability to manage her business with the merchants, her numerous new ideas which make large amount of money, and also Myne's ability to read and translate books which should be beyond her ability, and that even a noble who graduated from the Royal Academy would find hard to do.

Story
Damuel's failure to protect Myne during the extermination of the trombe cause him several issues. He was forced to borrow money from his brother to help pay for his part of Myne's replacement high priest robes. He was also demoted to apprentice knight and was assigned to serve the shrine maiden Myne in the temple. This caused friction with his fiancé and they separated.

During his time at the Royal Academy Damuel would write study guides for fellow students instead of hunting. Writing study guides enabled him to make money to help him pay his way through school. He did this rather than hunting as he made more from the study guides, then he could from hunting the creatures. Ferdinand finds out him writing study guides and that he is also in debt and asks him to help with the temple paperwork while Myne is in his office, which he will pay him for.

During his time with Myne at the temple, he kept a low profile, and not many people knew he was a noble. During the confrontation at in the common section he surprised Otto by pulling out his schtappe and calling for help. When they were trying to get to Ferdinand's office in the temple and were intercepted by the High Bishop and Count Bindewald. The High Bishop was surprised to see a knight protecting her.

He is currently serving Rozemyne as a personal bodyguard with Brigitte.
