The only daughter of the Count, Agnes was a lady popular in aristocratic circles, known as the "Beautiful Rose." Bernard was born the fifth son of a minor country lord, working as a lowly knight. When they met during social occasions, she always stared at him with a scowl, looking down at his poor station. Five years later, her father's scandal suddenly caused Agnes and her family to lose their position and their fortune. When everyone else abandoned Agnes after her "fall" from grace, it was Bernard who reached out to help. (Source: BK Comics)
