<span class="bbc_u"><strong>NPC Information</strong></span><br/>Lord Protector Sebastian Valencia<br/>The Queen's Blade<br/>(http://i.imgur.com/TDWEywV.jpg)<br/><br/>A commoner who rose to become an agent of the crown, Sebastian Valencia is known as the Queen's Blade for his service to her imperial majesty and the princesses of the empire. Older than his dashing good looks would indicate and incredibly charming, he has spent the latter portion of his career as the empress' bloody left hand and the personal protector to a princess of House Alexandria, whom he is incredibly fond of. Many a would-be assassin has perished on the point of his famous blade, the red lady, before ever even getting close to the princess. It cannot be stated enough that underestimating the Lord Protector is a deadly mistake - he is the head of the princess' honor guard, a job he takes very seriously despite his charming and friendly demeanor.<br/><br/>There is a whispered rumor that the Queen's Blade is more than just a servant of the empress, though nobody dares whisper it too loudly lest they bring scandal and a swift death on themselves.
