Guardian

A **guardian** (ガーディアン, gādian) is the highest ranking town official responsible for governing and protecting a town she is designated to in the Caesar Kingdom. They are the country's most talented individuals possessing immense combat potential and zeal.

## Process

A guardian is chosen soon after being born from the castle. At a young age, they go through various tests, where the children with the best results are selected. They are then sent to Meese and a nearby coliseum to further their training, where they are guided by instructors sent from Arslayer.

## List of Guardians

The number of members varies depending on the size of the town.

* The current Quintet (excluding Lilia) with Youta
* The Trident
* The current guardians of Sandrio with Youta
* The Lower Guardians of Arslayer
* The Upper Guardians of Arslayer
* Castle Guardians with Youta
* The Quintet (including Nagomi; excluding Lumi)

### Meese

The **Guardians of Meese**, or **The Quintet**, are comprised of 5 members. For a brief time, they had 6 living guardians (1 inactive), which exceeded the limit of existing guardians and were unofficially a sextet.

### Reel

The **Guardians of Reel**, or **The Trident**, as the name implies, are comprised of 3 members.

### Sandrio

The Guardians of Sandrio are comprised of 4 members, but currently have 3 living members.

### Arslayer

The **Guardians of Arslayer** are comprised of 6 members and are divided into 2 distinct groups of 3. With the town being under the direct control of the Kokubo, the guardian system is slightly different to the other towns. The ranks are divided into the royal guards, the lower guardians, the upper guardians and Nakuta at the top.

5 years prior to Youta's arrival, an unnamed guardian from Arslayer rescued a newly assigned Amane whose fellow guardians were attacked by the Karu.

#### Upper Guardians

The **Upper Guardians** (上位ガーディアン, Jōi Gādian), or the **Grand Soeurs** (グランド・スール, Gurando Sūru), are the higher-ranking guardians granted greater authority over ordinary guardians. Unlike the latter, they appear to take a more symbolic role with tasks primarily focusing on administration and mentorship of guardians.

## Notes

* It has been stated that all guardians are at least 18 years old. However, this does not seem to be the case as Amane was assigned when she was 14-15 years old.
* According to Piano, she heard of reports of guardians from other towns being detained. These guardians who are collared as a result of mating with Youta, will be tried and sentenced to death.
* Kia was sent to Carnnach as Maron's replacement following the latter's expulsion.
* Momo is promoted to upper guardian of the castle and currently confined within the iron maiden.
