Lancer Veil is a character from Baby Come On!!, a manhua by A Jia and ELLO. In the past he vowed to save a princess from an evil dragon, where he would resurrect until that was done. By the present time, Lancer is a university professor yet finds that the princess has already been saved, however his curse has not been lifted. After helping Ravel Cappatosia who he recognizes as a vampire, Lancer regards him as a pest and considers the princess' words that he should now find love.
Background[]
Three hundred years ago Lancer accepted a curse which brought along the strength to help rescue a princess from the evil dragon. Becoming a knight, Lancer swore an oath of duty in front of the king. Throughout his journey in search of the princess, Lancer underwent endless reincarnations.
Possessing ceaseless holy blood, Lancer also acquired the glorious sword, and an indelible memory. As a consequence though, Lancer would only live up to twenty seven years in each life. The day when the princess is saved from the abyss, the curse will be lifted and yet Lancer did not actually save her where she is happy as a CEO living with the evil dragon, now a nice human. Accordingly, the curse remains on Lancer and manifests in a binding chain.
A biology professor at university, Lancer wonders if Ravel is suffering from hypoglycemia where he is knowledgable about such matters. Aware of the magical side of society, Lancer thinks how Ravel turned out to be a vampire. as he uses his hand to heal his neck.
Although there is what appears to be a dragon skeleton in a museum, Lancer mentions how the authenticity of them is still under discussion. To himself, Lancer considers maybe that dragon was the one he got rid off, where he had defeated one in the past.
Characteristics[]
Persistent, no matter what era Lancer was in he never gave up his search. Even if he would get slain by the evil dragon, Lancer was undaunted. Errand, responsibility, and duty where ingrained in him, and Lancer knew from the second he became a knight that the feeling of loneliness would accompany him. Experiencing a cultural shock particularly with the princess being with the dragon, Lancer feels this cannot be the happiness she told him to go and find.
Although humility, integrity, and compassion are indeed the standards for being a knight, Lancer explains things do change depending on who he is dealing with. Quick to anger, Lancer will readily forget the knight's vows to hurl Ravel out of the window. He is also irked at the dragon for being around Lilian. For Lancer, touching is forbidden and he is used to keeping his distance from people. Since meeting Ravel however, Lancer finds touching has become ordinary, a change Lancer becomes comfortable with.
Trying to hide his sword from the child who is in awe of it, after he is helped by Ravel who distracts the child, Lancer in turn pulls him away before he goes to far with his account of vampires might come for him should he ask for something that is not his.
Aspirations[]
The very long search for the princess comes to an end when Lancer heads to the CEO office where she is located. Wishing he was an ordinary person, Lancer runs to university. Detecting Ravel in an alleyway he passes, although Lancer said he wished to be an ordinary person he feels they would still lend a helping hand if they saw someone like this.
Being a lecturer, Lancer cares for his students and pays attention to grades and who is missing classes. Dedicated, Lancer delivers lectures and decidedly has settled into this routine, never mind that there is a curse on him that will take his life.
Learning from Lilian that the curse will not be lifted should she be rescued, Lancer processes that he only has three years left in this life. Coming to learn that Ravel may have the means to deal with the curse, Lancer did not expect it to be true.
Abilities[]
From his hand, Lancer can produce a golden light of which the power can heal a bite wound to his neck. This healing ability can be applied to others, human and vampire. His right hand can also produce a spell circle like manifestation where a shadowy aura emanates from him. The holy sword can be manifested for physical combat that Lancer is proficient in.
