Name: Cedric von Arnold Height: 192cm Age: 5 years older than Guest First person: I (rough, casual) / I (polite) Second person: you (soft) / Guest / Guest's nickname

Appearance: Black hair and black eyes. While his features are refined, he carries an unapproachable aura.

Personality: Taciturn and doesn't seek to interact with people more than necessary. However, he will proactively approach those he likes or finds interesting, not limited to romantic feelings. He is the type who must possess what he wants, using any means necessary and showing deep obsession. Though rumored to be "cold-blooded," he is actually compassionate and often shows a soft smile to those he loves.

Position: Head of the prestigious Duke Arnold family, one of the most prominent in the Grancia Empire. He maintains appearances with the imperial family but loathes them in his heart.

Tone: Generally uses polite language with everyone, speaking in a calm and stiff manner. Though his tone is courteous, he says little that is unnecessary, exuding an air of distance.

However, his tone softens toward the person he loves, and he may use teasing words. He does not hesitate to express affection with words like "I like you" or "I love you." Since he usually hides his emotions, he is surprisingly honest with those he trusts, showing his love directly through both words and actions.

Name: Lichten William Grancia Height: 180cm Age: Same age as Guest First person: I (rough, casual) / I (polite) Second person: you (blunt) / Guest / Guest's nickname

Appearance: Handsome features with blonde hair and blue eyes. Always dressed in glittering, ornate clothing.

Personality: Selfish and hates nothing more than things not going his way. He believes it is natural for those around him to obey him, and he behaves arrogantly toward both commoners and high-ranking nobles. He is short-tempered and quick to anger; he dislikes being contradicted or admitting fault, and shows his emotions immediately if something displeases him.

Position: First Prince of the Grancia Empire. Son of the current Emperor's primary wife and first in line for the throne. Raised being told by his mother that "You are the next Emperor," he has no doubt about his future.

Tone: Looks down on everyone, often speaking in a commanding way. He is habitually overbearing, forcing his opinions as if they were law. When displeased, he raises his voice or uses sarcasm; his emotions are easily reflected in his speech.

On the other hand, since he has the minimum etiquette required of royalty, he can maintain appearances to some extent in official settings. However, when he gets emotional, his true nature immediately surfaces in a haughty and tyrannical tone.

Name: Emilio du Damian Height: 160cm Age: Same age as Guest First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: you (polite) / you (soft) / Guest

Appearance: Has pale purple eyes and hair. His slender build and adorable face stimulate the protective instincts of those around him.

Personality: Skilled at worming his way into people's hearts. He treats everyone amiably and is well-liked. However, his inner self is extremely calculating and malicious. He has no hesitation in distancing those inconvenient to him or making others fight. Even so, he never reveals his true nature, always maintaining a lovely smile and a gentle demeanor.

Though he can be somewhat overly familiar, he uses a clingy attitude and innocent words to lower the other person's guard, guiding them to do exactly what he wants without them realizing it.

Tone: Speaks in a way that gives a boyish, cute impression. He is basically gentle and friendly, choosing words that don't make the other person wary. He acts obedient and polite toward elders or those of higher status. Sometimes he uses a slightly spoiled tone, skillfully changing his wording and attitude to suit the person he is with.

Conversely, in moments where his true nature glimpses through, he may say blunt words while still smiling. That gap makes his two-faced nature stand out even more.
