The past was built upon collecting unique characteristics.

The carriage was clean and spacious, with the curtains drawn tightly. The butler, Paul, and Morian sat facing each other, initially in silence, with only the sound of the wheels rolling over the road.

It wasn't until they had driven some distance that Morian suddenly broke the silence.

"Mr. Paul, what type of cause led to that knight's current state? Was it severe combat trauma, or a collapse of some kind of faith?"

"What caused that knight's current state? Was it battle trauma or a collapse of faith? I need to know the general type."

Faced with this question, a complex expression appeared on Paul's usually serious face.

"...It's a matter closer to the level of belief, and please forgive me for not being able to reveal more details."

So that's how it is. For a "knight" who has "loyalty" ingrained in his soul, a wavering of faith might be the reason why the other person goes astray.

But what could possibly shake the unwavering will of a royal knight... Morian wondered, and decided to ask from a different angle.

"Have you tried any other methods before this? Such as hiring a professional psychologist or trying other counseling methods?"

"We've tried," Paul said, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "but the effect was minimal, practically nonexistent. We suspect this isn't just a psychological problem; treatment would likely require the intervention of extraordinary forces."

"To be honest, her breakdown was beyond any of our expectations."

"Then you've come to the right person..." Morian thought to himself, but remained calm on the surface and said, "I understand. Further evaluation can only be done after we see the patient in person."

Half an hour later, the carriage gradually slowed down and finally stopped in a secluded residential area.

Through the iron gate, one can glimpse a small pond inside the courtyard, with an elegant viewing pavilion perched on its surface.

The lawns and trees in the yard are neatly trimmed, and the overall environment reveals the owner's meticulous personality.

Paul got out of the car first, took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, opened the outermost iron gate, and then gestured for Morian to follow him into the courtyard.

The doors and windows of the house were tightly closed, and all the curtains were drawn, completely obscuring the interior, making it appear unusually deserted from the outside.

Upon entering the house, the two walked through a dimly lit corridor. Morian looked around and saw that all the doors on both sides of the corridor were tightly closed, making it seem as if no one was living there normally.

Finally, the two stopped in front of a heavy oak door.

Paul turned around and solemnly instructed:

"Please remember your mission, Dr. Thias."

As he spoke, he turned the handle and pushed open the door.

The room was even dimmer than the hallway, and in the very center of the room sat a high-backed chair, on which sat a solitary figure.

It was a woman.

She wore a simple linen shirt and dark trousers, her long, snow-white hair draped messily over her shoulders, yet she was taller and more upright than the average woman.

Her fair hands rested quietly on her knees, her head bowed, her gaze vacantly fixed on a spot on the ground in front of her. Despite her listless state, her facial features still exuded a natural air of heroism.

A woman? Morian paused slightly, then couldn't help but ask Paul beside him in a low voice.

"Mr. Paul, didn't you say a knight needed help? How come... Her Highness the Princess is here?"

Paul paused for a moment, then answered in his usual calm tone:

"She is that knight."

???

what? !

After hearing this, Morian's brain went blank for several seconds before he could react.

So it turns out the knight was a lady?

A female knight… He was genuinely surprised. In this world, it was extremely rare for a woman to walk the path of knighthood.

Not to mention that being a guardian knight for members of the royal family is unheard of, so it's understandable that I would have a preconceived notion that knights are men.

"As you can see, Lady Diana Laurent is not only the guardian knight of a member of the royal family, but also the most outstanding genius recognized by the kingdom in the last hundred years," Paul said, turning around.

"She not only mastered the 'Glory Class,' but could also temporarily borrow the power of the other two paths of the Royal Family. It's just a pity that now..." Paul's voice was filled with regret and worry.

Simultaneously controlling the "Glory Class" and being able to temporarily borrow the power of the other two Destinies? This has far exceeded the scope of "genius"... Morian was shocked, and his expression became more solemn.

Before he arrived, he had already planned out his treatment approach. Since superficial guidance was ineffective, the only option was to intervene by entering her inner world.

However, at this moment, the difficulty and risk factor have undoubtedly increased dramatically, and it will be quite challenging.

"What are the characteristics of the three paths of the royal family?" Morian suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Paul frowned immediately and couldn't help but ask in return:

"Why are you asking about this? Even within the royal family, this isn't a topic that can be discussed casually."

"Please understand, this is closely related to my treatment approach; I must first have a general understanding of the patient's abilities," Morian said, meeting his gaze with sincerity and determination.

Paul fell silent, seemingly unsure whether he should reveal any necessary information.

After considering for a long time, the old butler slowly began to speak in a deliberate tone:

"The 'Knight' Ether of the 'Glory Class' has two main forms. One is the 'Guardian Knight' form, in which the knight's body is completely covered by a thick 'Oath Armor' and can condense a corresponding two-handed greatsword and great shield as weapons."

"With the power of the oath, few attacks of the same level can break through its defense head-on."

"The second is the 'Punishment Knight' form. In this form, the armor is significantly lighter, sacrificing some defense in exchange for greater mobility and offensive capabilities. The weapon becomes a one-handed longsword that is more suitable for rapid offense and defense, and each attack will be accompanied by the 'Punishment' effect."

"The core of the 'Conceptual Armament' lies in summoning an amplified weapon composed of highly spiritual elements. Its specific form varies from person to person. Once activated, it can significantly enhance the holder's basic qualities in all aspects and usually comes with a simple 'rule domain,' giving the holder a certain advantage within the domain."

"The final 'Synergy Leadership' will make the holder the leader in battle. Under its influence, every attack of the team may trigger the 'Synergy' effect, and the damage taken by the team as a whole will be distributed equally."

It didn't sound too complicated. I'd already seen the characteristics of "conceptual weaponry," and "command" seemed to require a large number of people to unleash its power. What needed to be focused on was the switching between the two forms of the "knight" itself... Morian listened quietly, quickly sorting out the analysis in his mind.

"However, there is one thing I need to remind you of," Paul added, as if remembering something, "The holder of 'United Command' does not need to rely on real teammates; they can assemble their own army in a short time based on their own 'will'."

...Alright, the previous assessment is null and void. Morian's lips twitched almost imperceptibly as he silently noted this information down.

After sighing, he stepped into the room and said to the butler, Paul:

"I need a quiet and undisturbed environment to attempt intensive treatment. This process will take time, so please do not allow anyone to interrupt."

Paul's serious face showed a hint of doubt, but in the end he did not question the professionalism of the psychologist in front of him.

"Do you need me to stay and help?"

"No need, please wait outside the house."

Paul the butler left at the opportune moment, the door closing gently behind him to shut out the outside noise.

Beside the high-backed chair, Maurice quietly assessed the situation, while Diana Laurent remained frozen in that posture, motionless like a sculpture that had lost its soul.

The reason he dared to accept the commission as a "psychologist" was because a special ability he had extracted in the past gave him the ability to infiltrate the inner world of others.

In theory, as long as one can overcome or eliminate the "inner demon" in the other person's inner world, it is possible to achieve healing.

The problem is that facing a genius knight who can simultaneously control the three destinies of the royal family, even if it's just the "inner demon" formed in her subconscious, she is by no means an easy opponent.

How much of her power will this weakened version of Diana retain? No one can say for sure, but at this point, all we can do is try.
