Well, it would seem that Cecily gets her pride back this chapter.

Spoiler for Chapter 22:

Very interesting chapter in character developement for Cecily. The chapter starts off with her locking herself up in her room for about three days. During that time, she is going over her traumatic and humiliating scene that occur at the hands of Siegfried in the last chatper. From the looks of it, it would seem that Cecily has been overcome with depression and anger, and only goes out due to the behest of Aria due to a demon attack. It was interesting to read on how Cecily starts to question her own ability, and there was a part to where she was going to blame Aria for not helping her but recants the thought because she realized that it would be a blame game if she started down that path. She goes to witness the attack and learns that she was not the only one concerned with another demon attack that occured in the city previousely. She learns that the Castle guard had prepared for such a situation and that they were better prepared this attack. The guard manage to kill off the demons but are overwhelmed by the person who summoned them when he himself becomes a demon due to a contract. While the demon has Cecily in it's clutches, she is overcome with helplessness as she relives her attack by Siegfried. It was not until the urging of the Knights that yell at Cecily to fulfull her duty as a knight that Cecily regains her pride.
