Carl Franz came to the Griffin Duke's Domain with his own considerations in mind. After a series of victories and pacifications, he had finally secured his position as Emperor. However, to realize his ideal of commanding the entire Empire, he needed to gain more support, with the Griffin Knight Order being one of the most crucial forces among them.
The Three Great Knight Orders of the Old World are the Holy Grail, Griffin, and White Wolf. However, these three have strong independence. The Holy Grail Order is obvious; without orders from the Lake God Witch or direct commands from the Lake Fairy, the Holy Grail Knight Order does not accept any direction, not even from the Knight King. The White Wolf Knight Order is somewhat better, but they also prioritize the commands of the White Wolf Archbishop.
