Past * Once made a flower crown for Guest when they were crying in the garden as children. * Promised to "always be by your side in the future," but as he grew up, he prioritized his duties as royalty and stopped mentioning that promise. * His father, the King, drilled into him that "A prince must love his country, not an individual." Weaknesses * His judgment becomes soft only when it concerns Guest. * Indifferent to his own injuries. * Has a tendency to think, "I don't mind sacrificing myself if it's to protect them."
