Cecilus Segmunt/Relationships

## Vincent Vollachia

As the strongest man in Vollachia and the First ranking Divine General, Cecilus acted as Vincent's sworn sword, though his childish outbursts and frequent overreactions to everything did not sit well with His Majesty. Cecilus was extremely loyal to the Emperor and was prepared to do anything he was tasked to, though it should be noted that if the issued orders went against what he stood for, or if he took personal offense in them, Cecilus had not a sliver of a problem disregarding them and going his own way. One example would be assassinations. While dispatching foes was an act deeply familiar to him, silent assassinations were something he himself stated he'd refuse, even if the order would be issued by Vincent himself. According to him, assassinations wound his pride and it would cause a great blow to his reputation. Accordingly, he'd much rather wound up dead than be forced to live with such a stain. Furthermore, according to Vincent, Cecilus took the Emperor's safety extremely serious. Be it man, woman, elderly or child, he'd immediately cut them down if they'd approach His Majesty with ill intent, or got too close to him.

Prior to the events of Arc 7, Vincent was forced to step down as the Emperor of the Vollachian Empire. Accordingly, it is still unknown what kind of relationship the two of them would share if they'd met now, as Cecilus does not currently recall his memories of being a Divine General.

## Reinhard van Astrea

After his humiliating defeat in the Empire, rather than being a sore loser, Cecilus found meaning in his defeat, as he had finally realized he wasn't alone; there were other strong people in the world besides him. In his blind obsession with becoming the strongest in the entire world, Cecilus had forsaken everything he held dear. Before long, he realized how lonely he was at the very top. With the arrival of the Sword Saint, who defeated him with a single kick and opened Cecilus' eyes, making him understand how things truly are. He realized that he wanted to show something to the red-haired knight as well; the same thing he had realized not so long ago: That he wasn't alone. That others were standing with him. That others were just as strong as the two of them. After seeing the Sword Saint's smile and sensing his enjoyment during their fight, Cecilus believes he conveyed the message to him, though he's not 100% sure.

## Julius Juukulius

Julius and Cecilus share a rather peculiar relationship as they couldn't have a more different views of each other. Perhaps the only mutual thing they share is their respect for each other. Cecilus' childish demeanor causes him to take the Spirit Knight rather lightly, joking with him and at times being far too arrogant and naive, considering their positions. Despite that however, Cecilus holds Julius in high regards, considering him one of the best swordsmen he ever had the opportunity to face. After their secret "get-together", a month after the knight's journey to Vollachia, the two of them started to respect each other way more than before as they were "forced" to spend a couple of days under the same roof and eat at the same table.

It is also hinted that Julius holds some sort of complex envious emotions towards him.

## Joshua Juukulius

Joshua and Cecilus spent a couple of days together under the same roof as Julius offered the Blue Lightning an accommodation and safe-place while he was staying in the Capital. Considering the two's positions, Cecilus acted as some sort of a traveler and shared his wild and at times legendary stories with Joshua who due to his illness was rarely able to leave the Juukulius household. It didn't take long for Joshua to adopt a great deal of respect for the Vollachian General, spending hours each day conversing about different topics with him.

Cecilus also correctly pointed out Joshua's weak body by simply glancing at him and taking a second to acknowledge his posture and the way young boy walked.

## Chisha Gold

Chisha is perhaps Cecilus' closest companion and friend, surprisingly deeply caring about his fellow Divine General and taking the time to listen to his childish outbreaks and tantrums. The two could be considered to have a relationship where Chisha is the brains of the team, while Cecilus is the brawn.

## Sword Demon

Though never meeting him nor knowing of his real identity, Cecilus deeply respects the Sword Demon and holds him in extremely high regards. According to him, the highest heights of swordsmanship back then had much in common with what Cecilus stands for, therefore, exchanging words and perhaps even swords with the Sword Demon would be a dream-come-true for the young kimono-wearing swordsman.

## Marcos Gildark

Marcos and Cecilus briefly met roughly 3 to 4 months before the day of Subaru's arrival to the new world, when Cecilus entered the Lugunican territory unannounced, in search of an Imperial traitor. Cecilus deeply respects Marcos, stating he'd be beyond happy to be given an opportunity to learn a thing or two from the famed Boulder, via a duel.

## Gramdart Holstoy

Cecilus holds Gramdart in very poor regards. One could say Cecilus scorns the Viscount, due to his act of betraying the Empire and threatening His Majesty's life. Though their meeting was brief, Cecilus didn't refrain from throwing insults at the traitor, calling him "old dog" and the like. Naturally, he had no problem killing Gramdart, and would gladly have done so if he wasn't stopped by Chisha mid way through the slash, a mere second away from lobbing the traitor's head clean off.

## Prisca Benedict

Prisca and Cecilus first met mere days before the start of the Imperial Election Ceremony, when both of them were in their early teens. Cecilus immediately pointed out her beauty, commenting on her eyes and quickly turning the compliments towards himself, stating he likes them because he can see his beautiful reflection in them rather clearly. Naturally, his abrupt brashness, absurd sense of humour and concerning childishness didn't sit well with a 12-year-old Prisca, who called him a clown and immediately ordered Arakiya to dispose of him. Naturally, it backfired and Arakiya almost lost her head.

## Arakiya

As the 1st and 2nd Divine Generals, Cecilus and Arakiya are forced to work together quite often. One would think the two share a respectful and friendly relationship, however, this couldn't be further from the truth. According to Vincent, Arakiya is constantly after Cecilus' neck, as she's trying to become the 1st ranking Divine General. Their fights and skirmishes are so frequent, that Vincent ordered Cecilus to move next to Arakiya, so they could minimalize unwanted damage to other civilians and structures.

Roughly 7 years before the start of the main story, the two first met; Cecilus, around 13 years of age and Vincent's right-hand man, and Arakiya, a couple years younger and Prisca's right-hand man. Immediately upon meeting her, the blue-haired youth noted her adorable stooped ears and started referring to her as "Lil' Doggie", though he also commented on Arakiya's rather revealing attire. Naturally, this greatly angered Arakiya, and caused her to try and kill him. Cecilus naturally countered her with ease and almost lobbed her head off.

## Zikr Osman

Despite never being shown conversing, the two have met in the past. When asked about his experience with Cecilus, Zikr described him as an always-happy guy whose mood never changes no matter who he speaks with. He's a man well worth his title as the Empire's Strongest, and precisely because of that, the other Divine Generals view him as an incomprehensible monster that cannot be understood on a deeper level.

## Louann Segmunt

Despite sharing the same surname and having been stated to be relatives, not much is known about the two's relationship or history. It's even unknown if Cecilus and Louann are blood relatives. Though, one thing is for certain–both are incredible swordsmen, capable of easily holding their own against multiple very skilled opponents.
