Armored Knight Iris Uncensored [upd] 〈2027〉

Unlike knights who remove their armor in peacetime, Iris serves as a Warden of the Silent Corridor . Her day involves patrols, ceremonial guard duty, and teaching squires the “Art of the Unfastened”—how to sleep, eat, and even laugh without removing a single plate.
