A Grand Paladin.
The title alone was enough to silence a room.
It was not something that could be earned through years of service alone, nor through mere skill in battle.
To be named a Grand Paladin was to be acknowledged by both the Holy Kingdom and the divine will of the Goddess herself.
They stood not just above their fellow knights and paladins—but beyond them, like stars in the heavens that others could only look up to.
While divine power among humans was already considered a rare and precious gift, the ability to properly harness and control it—without losing oneself to the weight of sanctity—was even rarer.
And among those few, there existed an even more extraordinary anomaly: those born with a natural affinity for divinity itself, their very existence resonating with sacred light.
That was what made the Grand Paladins so revered.
They weren't just warriors—they were miracles in armor.
