She excelled in her training and completed it a at young age. In a move maneuvered by [[Archedis]], she was assigned as [[Leavenworth Smedry]]’s personal Knight, because Archedis wanted a greater chance of Grandpa Smedry dying.{{book ref|a3|21}}

|Another Smedry? I have to protect four of you now?
Upon returning to Nalhalla, Bastille was summoned to a hearing to determine whether or not she would retain her knighthood. After the intervention of Alcatraz and Leavenworth, her knighthood was suspended and she was severed from the Crystin [[Mindstone]]. This allowed her to defeat [[Archedis]], and she regained the title of knight.{{book ref|a3|Royal Epilogue (Not a Chapter)}}

She was put into a coma by the Librarians during the [[Siege of Mokia]].{{book ref|a4|16}} While infiltrating the [[Highbrary]], Alcatraz found the antidote and dropped into the ventilation to deliver it to Bastille.{{book ref|a5|20}}
When Grandpa Smedry rescued Alcatraz and planned a raid on the local library, Bastille was annoyed that she had to protect an extra Smedry, and that Grandpa Smedry had planned a dangerous library infiltration without informing her. She drove Alcatraz to the library while he filled her in on the mission.{{book ref|a1|5}} Bastille used her knowledge of Oculatory Lenses to help Alcatraz take a read of the library, but evaded Alcatraz’s questions about how she knew so much it. After [[Sing Sing Smedry]] made a distraction, they slipped into the library. Bastille went with Alcatraz and Sing to try and find the Lenses of Rashid.{{book ref|a1|7}} During their search, Bastille explained a lot about the real world to Alcatraz, informing him of the depth of the Librarian lies. They came across A Dark Oculator, Radrian Blackburn, who knocked them out with one of his Lenses.{{book ref|a1|10}}
 
{{sidequote
At the end of [[Alcatraz Versus the Dark Talent|Alcatraz's fifth book]], she wrote a note promising to finish the story. The note was signed "Bastille Smedry," indicating she and Alcatraz may have gotten married.{{book ref|a5|part=Bastille's Letter}} This is further corroborated by Alcatraz's noting across the series that she's looking over his shoulder as he writes. He also points out in chapter 24601 of [[The Shattered Lens|book four]] that he and Bastille weren't directly related "at that point."{{book ref|a4|24601}}
|I can’t believe how stupid I am! I should have realized Alcatraz would have an aura. It was so obvious! I was sloppy. I just… have trouble thinking of that idiot as an Oculator.

They were thrown into a dungeon, and Grandpa Smedry and Quentin were captured to be tortured. Bastille was angry with herself, accepting the blame for being captured. After Alcatraz made his prison guard angry to try and trick him, Bastille grabbed the guard and knocked him out, then freed them. On their way to free Grandpa Smedry and Quentin, they fought an Alivened, Bastille fighting one bravely. In the battle, Alcatraz broke her Crystin sword with his Talent.{{book ref|a1|15}} Bastille and the others distracted Blackburn and freed Grandpa and Quentin. Blackburn followed them, and dueled with Grandpa Smedry. When Blackburn won, Librarian thugs took Bastille captive, though she fought valiantly against them using only a crystal dagger.{{book ref|a1|18}} When Alcatraz tricked Blackburn and blinded him, the thugs holding Bastille captive fled, and Bastille resisted the urge to chase them down. They subsequently caused more chaos and Bastille escaped the library with the others.{{book ref|a1|19}}
