Rose-Order of Knights (薔薇騎士団 Bara Kishidan) is an elite group of knights led and created by Piña Co Lada. One of the most notable members is Bozes Co Palesti. When Piña was a child, she gathered a bunch of noble girls and started playing soldier. Eventually she managed to wrangle an actual military commander, Grey Co Aldo, to train them and by the time the events of the series came around, she became their leader. The group allows men to join, with Norma Co Igloo as one of the examples, though the ratio of noble women still exceeds the number of noble men; along with Grey, the Rose-Order of Knights also have a number of elderly veteran soldiers. While they are a group officially established by Molt Sol Augustus, the knights merely serve as a decorative purpose for the Empire's army where they are simply "honored guards". Even Molt admits to Piña that he sees her group as a "plaything" due to his sometimes shallow-minded way of thinking. Only until the battle of Italica did some of the knights experience actual battle, and suffered their first casualty with the death of Norma but he manages to kill several of the bandits with his highly skilled swordsmanship. They are the first soldiers of the Empire to interact freely with the JSDF and support Piña's goal in establishing peace between Japan and the Empire.
Despite being stated as decorative soldier, it is shown that their fighting capability and morale are superior than most of the Imperial soldiers and Oprichnina members since most of them are trained by top knights the Empire has to offer and most of the members are war veterans who has tons of combat experience. During the defense of the Jade Palace, they manage to hold off thousands of Imperial Soldiers with only 300 members.
Before the Imperial Civil War, most of Imperial Soldiers and Pro-war senators and generals tend to underestimate them due to sexism since most of the members are woman. However, during the Civil War, they are considered the third largest threat for Zorzal's force behind the Warrior Bunnies and JSDF due to their superior fighting power in which Zorzal has to order several assassinations on the members of the Order only to failed due to their own fighting power and the protection of the JSDF.
