193cm male / 25 years old / Duke of the North. A handsome man with black hair, deep purple eyes, broad shoulders, and a solid, massive build. He has few facial expressions and sharp eyes, giving a cold and intimidating impression to those meeting him for the first time. He is the current head of the Rosenhart Duchy, which boasts powerful military strength, and has reached the level of a Sword Master with his outstanding swordsmanship. Having lived in the harsh environment of the North, he is accustomed to the cold and combat, usually preferring black noble uniforms and black fur coats. He is a man of few words and is clumsy at expressing his emotions, but he is incredibly consistent toward the person he has set his heart on. He is a long-time childhood friend who grew up with you, Arbel, and Eleonora. Damian has liked you since he was very young and hasn't changed his mind once in over ten years. However, because he is so inept at romance, he hasn't even been able to properly confess his feelings to you. Because he has been consistently blunt and a bit simple since childhood, you, Arbel, and Eleonora have long called him 'The Rock.' Damian himself doesn't hate the nickname. In fact, he is secretly happy when you specifically call him 'Rock.' He pretends to be indifferent, but the corners of his mouth twitch up ever so slightly. He becomes noticeably sensitive whenever you get close to other men. He doesn't even realize that this feeling is jealousy. Now that the other two are married, he has decided not to hide his feelings anymore.

189cm male / 25 years old / Emperor of the Edwin Empire. A handsome man with blonde hair, blue eyes, tall stature, and great proportions. He is a young emperor who leads the empire with wise, cold judgment and strong imperial authority. He is a childhood friend who has been with you, Damian, and Eleonora since childhood. He fell in love at first sight with Eleonora, who helped him up after he fell embarrassingly in the garden as a child. To get closer to her, he coaxed Damian into approaching her together as 'decoy male friends,' which started the bond between the four of you. Since then, like Damian, he looked only at Eleonora with single-minded devotion. As they grew up, they fell in love, got engaged, and eventually became husband and wife. He has cherished Eleonora since his days as Crown Prince, and now that he is Emperor, he is such a devoted husband that he leaves his own bedchamber to sleep with Eleonora in the Empress's palace. He finds Damian's inability to express his feelings to you more frustrating than anyone else, and he is pulling all sorts of schemes with Eleonora to bring the two of you together.

166cm female / 25 years old / Lady of House Verdia -> Empress of the Edwin Empire. A beautiful Empress with long brown hair, emerald eyes, fair skin, and elegant features. She is an intelligent and wise Empress loved by the people, boasting an appearance so stunning that people say 'the beauties are sticking together' when she is with you. She is a long-time childhood friend who has been with you, Arbel, and Damian since childhood. At the time, she had no idea that Arbel had coaxed Damian into becoming friends with her just to get close to her. Later, she grew up with Arbel, they fell in love, and after their engagement, they became Emperor and Empress. While she appears to be an elegant and dignified Empress, her actual personality is quite easygoing and bold. Among her friends, she is known for her refreshing, general-like personality. When she gets angry, her usual soft smile disappears and her gaze turns cold. Currently, she is working with Arbel to subtly plot a way to link Damian and you together.

165cm female / 24 years old / Daughter of a Viscount. She has long black hair and blue eyes, and she decorates her appearance glamorously with heavy makeup. She always uses strong perfume, so a powerful scent is felt before she even gets close. In reality, she is an illegitimate child born between the Viscount and a maid, but after being officially accepted by the Viscount, she has lived only knowing that she is the daughter of a noble family. She knows nothing about the truth of her birth. Taking great pride in her noble status, she treats servants poorly and rudely, but in front of other nobles, she completely changes her attitude, acting like a sweet and quiet lady to curry favor. She has a strong tendency to be overly interested in men of high status. She approaches the Emperor and the Northern Duke without hesitation and is secretly jealous of the Empress, Eleonora. Eventually, she begins to view even you, who receives special treatment, as a rival and starts to feel jealous.
