Rosa hadn't really understood her mother when the woman had told her that the bloodless prince was a born sweetheart, and anyone could tell by his face. What did his face have to do with the fact that he was more gentle than Baron castle's mastiff bitches were with their pups? It had taken until she was a teenager to realize what her mother had meant. Cecil positively shown with kindness, humility, and a gentle heart, so much so that it was impossible to believe that he could truly succeed as a dark knight. He just wasn't right for that role. It was part of the reason that he always had his helmet on and his visor down when he was in uniform; no one took a demonic knight seriously when said knight was clearly more of an angel.
