He had no special past, no superhuman strength, or no exceptional intellect. In a time when many orphans streamed out into the streets for countless reasons, Clause was just another ordinary, forgettable boy at the orphanage. He couldn't even remember who named him or whether his birthday was really his birthday. Ricardo was strict yet kind. But he could never stay at the orphanage for long. So the younger kids turned to Clause, who was only a couple of years older than them, for support and affection. Though Clause himself was just a small child, he quickly became used to taking care of and protecting someone. Ad a boy who took on his kind of responsibility without a doubt, it was only natural that Clause wanted to become a knight that protects others. The he met Frey and Kasel. Among all the children at the orphanage, they were the most special. Their conversations, how they looked at him, and the time they spent together- all of them turned Clause from an ordinary boy into an extraordinary young man.
