The Crownless Knight

Scorned bastard Edward endures slander against his mother Anna. Tutored by three Round Table masters, he holds rare Swordheart and trains with a two-thousand-jin dark greatsword. He joins knight trials to redeem her, defeating Cain and resisting William’s biased blood rules. His masters and kneeling knights expose his supreme strength amid suppression. He discards his family crest, leaves his remorseful father, and founds a merit-based knight order, emerging as an uncrowned king.
