Zeal

Zeal is introduced as a child living under the shadow of his family's tragic circumstances.

Despite being surrounded by hostility and abuse, he continues to care deeply for his father Dale and his older sister Guila.

He is an important emotional anchor for Guila, helping to humanize her and reveal the softer side beneath her warrior exterior.

His story becomes closely tied to the actions of Gowther, who alters and later restores his memories.

Zeal is portrayed as earnest, kind-hearted, and remarkably resilient.

Even while suffering from cruel bullying by nearby adults, he worries more about his family than about himself.

His strongest trait is his devotion to Dale and Guila.

He constantly frets over their safety and well-being, showing a selfless, almost painfully pure concern for them.

Despite the darkness surrounding his life, Zeal retains an innocent and trusting nature.

This innocence makes the tragedy of his situation and the manipulation of his memories feel especially poignant.

Zeal is the younger brother of Guila, a Holy Knight, and the son of Dale, whose actions become the center of a major incident.

The adults in his surroundings subject him to vicious bullying, treating him harshly because of the stigma attached to his family.

Those abusive adults ultimately meet a brutal end, as Guila cuts them down in retribution.

This violent act underlines just how much Guila cares for Zeal and how far she is willing to go to protect him.

Zeal remains unaware of the true circumstances behind the incident caused by his father Dale.

He lives with an incomplete and distorted understanding of what happened, which shapes his emotional world.

Zeal serves as a key emotional trigger for Guila’s character development.

Her fierce protectiveness toward him reveals her vulnerability and her capacity for love and guilt.

In the second part of the story, it is revealed that Gowther altered the memories of both Zeal and Guila.

These memory modifications affect how they understand Dale’s incident, their own past, and even their feelings.

Later on, Gowther’s memory tampering is undone, and Zeal’s original memories are restored.

This restoration forces him and Guila to confront the real truth of their family’s tragedy, adding emotional depth to their arcs.
