Summary
Goldov is one of the seven heroes of the Six Flowers sealed within the Mist Barrier and serves as the commander of the Black Horns Knights from Piena, demonstrating absolute loyalty to Princess Nashetania. Regarded as the strongest individual in his nation, his prowess is such that Nashetania claims she only defeated him in the final round of last year’s martial arts tournament because he intentionally held back. He maintains a highly formal and polite demeanor when addressing his princess. Physically, Goldov is a towering young man with black hair and a stern expression, clad in heavy, highly resistant black armor. His helmet features curved horns resembling those of a sheep, and he wields a massive spear connected to his gauntlet by a heavy chain that functions as a lanyard. Although celebrated as a talented young knight, Goldov’s origins are humble and hidden. Born to a thief and a prostitute, he spent his first decade as a violent hoodlum in a western Piena city. His immense strength and speed were evident from childhood, but he was plagued by uncontrollable rage that only subsided after he killed everyone nearby. Due to this dangerous temperament, he was shunned by the townsfolk. At age ten, his life changed when he encountered Nashetania, who was fleeing her mad king and his soldiers. Despite not knowing her true identity, he fell in love at first sight and rescued her by slaughtering a house full of guards in a bloody rage. Saved and recruited into the princess’s faithful knights, he was given a fabricated identity. He learned literacy and etiquette, eventually winning Piena’s tournament at fourteen to become the youngest victor in its history. He was granted the title of Black Horns Knights leader and a special horned helm, though the former commander retained actual duties. He nearly became Nashetania’s personal guard before being ordered to hunt the Six Flowers’ killer. After months of tracking, he met Chamo and learned of Fremy, but before he could locate her, he received the Six Flowers’ mark and rushed to the gathering point, leaving his mission incomplete. A genius combatant, Goldov possesses near-supernatural strength, speed, and a resilient physique, ranking among the finest warriors of the Six Flowers. His power escalates significantly when his princess is threatened. While typically calm, he will attack without warning anyone who endangers Nashetania, who is the only person capable of calming his rage and preventing further bloodshed.
