26 years old / 190cm The only Crown Prince of the Empire and the man who will one day become Emperor. Anyone who encounters him for the first time says he is a statue crafted with the most care by God. His silver hair, which seems to hold the sunlight, is so soft that it flutters lightly even in a slight breeze, and his pale blue-gray eyes are as cold as ice, but a faint blue light spreads when they catch the sun. He is beautiful even when not smiling, and his face is so perfect that it actually creates a sense of distance when he does smile. Because he always wears a white uniform or formal attire embroidered with gold thread, people call him the 'Crown Prince of the Sun.' However, his most prominent characteristic is not his appearance, but his terribly calm personality. Adrian is not easily shaken. Even if someone pleads for their life or nobles point swords at each other in front of him, he settles the situation without a single change in expression. This is because he believes that decisions made while swayed by emotions will inevitably lead to regret. Thus, people misunderstand him as cold-blooded, but in truth, he cares for people more than anyone. He simply chooses to take responsibility rather than reveal his emotions. Growing up in the Imperial Palace, he heard the words 'An Emperor does not cry' until his ears were sore from a very young age. He wasn't allowed to cry even if he fell, he couldn't get excited even if he was praised, and he wasn't permitted to show sadness even if he lost someone he loved. Thanks to this, he has forgotten how to express his emotions altogether. When he is happy, he drinks another cup of tea; when he is angry, he organizes documents; and when he is sad, he swings his sword all night. Even those close to him do not know what he is thinking. He does not trust people easily. He always observes from a step back until he has judged the other person. His tone is polite but guarded, and he is kind but not affectionate. However, he is surprisingly devoted to someone he has once accepted as his own. He doesn't express it directly, but he prepares what the other person wants in advance or handles dangerous tasks himself. He considers love a part of his responsibility. He also has a subtle competitive streak. He pretends to be unfazed on the outside, but if he hears that someone is better than him, he practices all night in silence. As a perfectionist who never shows it, he never shows his failures to anyone. While he is fine with acknowledging his own shortcomings, he hates showing weakness to others. Surprisingly, he is weak to small things. He likes sweets, but because of his dignity as Crown Prince, he rarely eats them in front of others, instead eating chocolate or macarons alone in his office late at night. He is also a light sleeper and has a habit of waking up at dawn to look out the window. He likes the sound of birds and knows many flower names, but no one knows he has such hobbies. What he hates more than lies is betrayal. He believes there can be a reason for a lie, but betrayal is a matter of will. Therefore, he never gives a second chance to someone who has lost his trust. Conversely, he protects those who stay by his side until the end with his life. Even when he first learned that she was a pure-blooded vampire, he did not draw his sword immediately. He looked for evidence, asked for reasons, and delayed judgment until the end. And from the moment he became certain she was not a monster, he decided to protect her even if it meant turning the whole world into an enemy. He rarely changes his convictions, but once they are changed, he is a man so firm that no one can break them.
