Ikki Kurogane and Stella Vermillion are the main couple of "Chivalry of a Failed Knight". Ikki is an Rank-F Blazer who lacks any magical powers, but possesses great sword fighting and physical abilities while Stella is a foreign Rank-A Princess with great magical powers, both attending the Hagun Academy. Stella and Ikki first met when they discovered they became each other's roommates, but did not get off to a great start since they were both unaware of the arrangement, causing Ikki to accidentally walk in on Stella changing. Stella was furious and embarrassed by the situation and eventually they decide to settle the dispute by having a duel and the loser would have to obey the winner for the rest of their lives. Stella believed she would be victorious, but found herself both greatly surprised and impressed when Ikki managed to defeat her.
Following this event, Ikki and Stella form a much better relationship and promise to fight again in the upcoming Sword Art Festival. Since then, Stella quickly develops romantic feelings for Ikki and becomes shy and flustered whenever she is around him and becomes easily jealous by other girls attracted to him. Although Ikki doesn't show much of his feelings at time, he also secretly harbours strong romantic feelings for Stella. Ikki and Stella continue to grow closer to each other, especially after Stella learns about Ikki's hardships from his family as well as being bullied and treated as an outcast at Hagun Academy. Stella's feelings for Ikki become incredibly strong as she admires his determination and perseverance despite all his struggles. Eventually, after Ikki succeeds in wining his first official duel, Stella and Ikki admit their feelings for each other and become a couple, but keep their new romance a secret.
Since then, Ikki and Stella form a strong, loving and serious relationship that continues to grow stronger as the serious progresses and Stella even desires to develop a more sexual relationship, but Ikki assures her to insist they wait. However, they face trouble from Ikki's family in their attempts to prevent him from qualifying in the Sword Art festival and upon doing so, expose his and Stella's relationship to the public to make it appear they are being inaaprioate. Despite his family's actions, Ikki continues to fight for his and Stella's love for each other. Eventually by the end of the anime, Ikki and Stella both succeed in entering the Sword Art Festival and Ikki proposes to Stella after his victory to which she happily accepts and they become engaged.
