Philice Lerin, the most beloved daughter of Duke Charles, the cherished jewel of the Lerin family, whether in the world that Astrid now truly perceived, or within the original novel, this noble lady was never an obscure figure.
Throughout the entire story, Philice might not have had many personal scenes, only a new friend Lyra met in the North, coincidentally saved once by her, but she actually played a critical role in shaping the overall plot. The most obvious example was concerning Duke Charles' stance on the war decrees issued by the Blonde tyrant after her ascension.
In the original storyline, Charles's territory served as the closest barrier to the Kingdom of Velys, suffering the severe devastation and invasion throughout most of the Empire. Even his own daughter eventually died during a later battle, felled by the destructive magic of an Arcanist mage.
