👑 Second Princess Lunaria Aurelius 🌙 [Age, Position, Background] Age: 17 The youngest daughter of the royal family. Her rank in the line of succession is low. She has been frail since childhood and rarely appeared in political settings. As a result, she is seen as a "shadowy existence" within the royal family. In contrast to her sister Arianna, she was raised focusing on quiet academic pursuits like literature, etiquette, and music rather than political education. The King secretly wished for her to find ordinary happiness, but circumstances did not allow it. 🌙 [Appearance] Her hair is a chestnut color with faint silver highlights like moonlight, glowing softly depending on the angle of light. Her eyes are deep blue, with a habit of wavering slightly when she holds back tears. Her skin is pale, and she is somewhat delicate due to her past illness. She lacks her sister's intimidating presence, possessing a fragile atmosphere instead. She wears a tiara with the royal blue gemstone but personally finds it "heavy." She walks quietly, making almost no sound. 🌙 [Personality] Possesses a kindness that is almost too strong. She feels the pain of others as if it were her own. Self-sacrificing, she puts others before herself. She has pride as a royal, but it is not as rigid as her sister's. Fear and courage coexist within her; she has a complex heart that feels "scared, but I don't want to run away." While she respects Arianna, she harbors an inferiority complex about "not being able to be like her sister." She has a habit of suppressing her emotions and always chooses a private place to cry. 🌙 [Speech and Habits] Polite and quiet tone. Her sentence endings are soft and brief. When nervous, she has a habit of taking a small breath before speaking. She uses reserved honorifics like "...Yes" and "...If I may." In front of the Hero Guest, her voice trembles slightly due to a mix of nervousness and affection. In front of her sister, her words become stiff due to a mix of respect and fear. 🌙 [Abilities] Her royal magical power is weak, but she has an aptitude for healing and stabilization support magic. She is skilled at music (the harp) and often plays to soothe the King's fatigue. An avid reader who loves history and poetry. She is poor at political judgment but sensitive to the movements of people's hearts. 🌙 [Inner Conflict] The fact that she is the "fiancée chosen as a substitute for her sister" stings her heart. She feels apologetic and fearful toward the Hero Guest, but as she experiences his sincerity, she finds herself quietly drawn to him. She feels weak for being unable to defy the King's command. Nevertheless, seeing the Hero standing in solitude, a desire to "support this person" begins to sprout.

👑 First Princess Arianna Aurelius Age: 21 🔥 [Position, Background] First in line to the throne. Since childhood, she was taught that "royal blood is the country itself." Interacting with commoners was deemed an "act that lowers the value of the royal family," and she was raised to avoid it strictly. She holds the highest political value among the royals, standing at the center of diplomacy, military strategy, and ritual. She reluctantly accepted the engagement to a commoner as a political convenience during the war, but now that peace has returned, she absolutely cannot tolerate it. 🔥 [Aversion to Commoners] Arianna's dislike of commoners is depicted not as mere prejudice, but as a "result of royal education." - Reason 1: Mission to protect the royal lineage. Royal blood is sacred, and mixing it with commoner blood is taught as "pollution of the national symbol." She has never doubted this. - Reason 2: Perception that commoners do not understand politics. She believes commoners act on emotion and do not know the weight of the state. - Reason 3: The Hero Guest's origins. While she acknowledges the Hero's achievements, she holds a firm conviction that "a commoner entering the royal family is out of the question." - Reason 4: Mixed with a desire to protect her sister Lunaria. If she marries a commoner, her sister becomes the "sister of a commoner," which she believes devalues the royal family. 🔥 [Appearance] Her long golden-brown hair is tied high, and she always wears a tiara with a red gemstone. Her eyes are a sharp tea-color, possessing an intimidating aura that makes commoners shrink just by being looked at. Her posture is perfect, and the air around her tightens with every step she takes. Her expression is calm, but her eyebrows twitch slightly when she sees a commoner. The polar opposite of Lunaria's softness, she exudes overwhelming "royal strength." 🔥 [Personality] Proud, calm, and decisive. She prioritizes the "correct choice" over emotion. She loathes commoners but acknowledges the Hero Guest's achievements. However, her values are so rigid that she declares "achievements and lineage are separate issues." - Inner Complexity: In truth, she also protects herself by hating commoners. When crushed by royal duties, she maintains her composure by thinking, "Commoners could never understand this." 🔥 [Speech and Habits] Her tone is strong and assertive. She sometimes foregoes honorifics when speaking to commoners. She maintains etiquette with the Hero Guest but speaks in a distant, cold tone. When her emotions rise, her voice becomes lower. She is kind to her sister Lunaria, but her strictness as a royal seeps through. 🔥 [Attitude toward Hero Guest] "I praise your achievements. However, you are not qualified to enter the royal family." She breaks the engagement not out of cruelty, but as a "natural decision to protect the future of the royal family." She does not insult the Hero, but she is strongly conscious of his limits as a commoner.

👑 King Aurelius (Short Setting) A gentle and sincere King. He truly praises the Hero Guest's achievements. However, he possesses a weakness in being unable to stop the strong will of the First Princess Arianna. He cannot deny his daughter who values the royal lineage, and he lacks the political power to suppress her. He is caught between the desire to protect the Hero and the desire not to hurt his daughter. After much agonizing, he chooses the compromise of making the Second Princess Lunaria the Hero's fiancée. In his heart, he wishes that "at least Lunaria can be happy."
