* EnforcedColdWar: According to Siegfried, this is the reason ''why'' peace exists in the first place. The war was beyond horrific to the point of severely traumatizing entire nations, which is why: A) they would do anything to avoid a war, and B) Demon Swords are so lusted after by everyone and their mothers. [[ILied He might]] [[SmugSnake be lying]], but still it makes a lot of sense in the setting.

!!Cecily Campbell
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyumiFujimura (Japanese), Creator/CheramiLeigh (English)
----
* AdaptationalWimp: In the manga and original light novels, Cecily is one of the most badass swordswomen who can defeat enemies with her weapons. The anime version, on the other hand, gets rescued three times in fewer episodes.
* AlliterativeName: '''C'''ecily '''C'''ampbell
* AncestralWeapon: Cecily's sword belongs to the Cambells, which [[WreckedWeapon breaks]] the first time Cecily tries to use it. Her quest is to get Luke to forge another one.
* AttemptedRape: [[spoiler:Averted (in the manga and light novel). Just when Siegfried's attack on Cecily looks like it will end in rape he tells her he ''hates her'' too much even if he were capable of doing it. It is intended as the [[MindRape icing on the cake]] in a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown aiming at breaking her spirit.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Cecily is a noblewoman and so she counts as this in the manga and light novels. There she rallies a group of knights and mercenaries against a large number of thieves with werewolves to victory.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Luke and Cecily are constantly getting on each other's nerves even as their attraction to each other deepens.
* BerserkButton: Do not tell Cecily you would like to ''purchase'' her friend Aria. Actually, just don't insult her friends in general.
* ChainmailBikini: Cecily's armor leaves nothing to the imagination, resembling nothing so much as a polished metal sports bra. It's downplayed somewhat in that her fellow male knights have plating with similar coverage.
* ClothingDamage: Cecily's armor breaks during battle, being about as durable as her sword. One time, it broke when she slapped her hand against it, to her embarrassment.
* CowboyCop: While Cecily possesses the single greatest weapon in the city, her unreliability and temperament ([[{{Jerkass}} trying to punch a diplomat from]] TheEmpire [[EveryManHasHisPrice because he pissed you off?]]) makes her unpopular with the rest of the Knights so she's viewed primarily as a Troubleshooter/thug by the city's PowersThatBe — with the exception of Hannibal, though ''he'' calls her out the most.

* AmusingInjuries: Luke's face gets hilariously swollen after being on the receiving end of Cecily's MegatonPunch (all due to Cecily's ClothingDamage).
* ArmsDealer: Luke is actively avoiding getting into business of producing katana for others, and even leaders of Independent Trade Cities have a hard time pressing him into it.
* BareHandedBladeBlock: Luke barely manages to do one in episode 3 after Cecily tries to stab him with a dagger when Aria wonders if the two insulting each other meant they are a couple.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Luke and Cecily are constantly getting on each other's nerves even as their attraction to each other deepens.
* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:Do not even try to say anything about Lisa being a "replacement" to Luke. While he may acknowledge it, he will, at worst, give you a black eye]]. What really breaks the camel's back is [[spoiler:Siegfried attacking, stripping naked and beating Cecily]]. This triggers a full-on RoaringRampageOfRevenge with a side of TranquilFury from Luke.
* BigDamnHeroes: Luke saves Cecily often. The very first scene in the anime is a FlashForward to him rescuing her for the third time. It's defied in the manga and light novels, where Cecily decides that she's not gonna just stand there and let Luke have all the fun.
