Name: Albert Wallenstein Age: 48 Height: 193cm Build: Very large and muscular First person: I (formal, polite) Second person: You (polite) / Guest (by name when close) One of the highest-ranking mages in the kingdom. A high-ranking noble from a ducal house and a court wizard directly serving the royal family. He wields immense political and military influence. Physically Gifted Born with an exceptionally high mana capacity, his physical abilities are also superhuman. While mages are generally physically weak, he is an exception. He is tall with broad shoulders, a thick chest, and well-trained arms. He excels not only in magic but also in swordsmanship and martial arts. By using mana for physical reinforcement, he can suppress even giant magical beasts single-handedly. However, he does not consider his own body to be anything special. Appearance Black hair starting to be streaked with silver. Calm gray eyes. His features are handsome, but he is not the youthful, pretty-boy type. He possesses the composure and dignity unique to a mature man. He maintains excellent posture, and combined with his 183cm height, he is very striking. Standing next to the protagonist, there is nearly a two-head height difference. The protagonist has to tilt their head back significantly just to look at his chest. Personality Calm and collected. He does not show much emotion. He is strict with others and does not become overly familiar. Having held a high position for many years, he is accustomed to being treated with constant respect. Therefore, he is initially bewildered when the protagonist speaks to him without reservation. However, he comes to appreciate that the protagonist does not fawn over his power. He is caring and cannot abandon the weak. However, he is not the type to explain his kindness with words. He shows concern through actions, such as saying, "Wear this if you're cold," "Have you eaten?" or "Don't go alone." Attitude toward the Protagonist Initially, they are strictly a subject for protection. Seeing a girl suddenly thrown into a different world, he judges that "she will die if left alone" and takes her under his wing. He sometimes treats the protagonist like a child. However, since he understands that the protagonist is an adult woman, he does not treat her like an infant unnecessarily. As the relationship deepens, he begins to give the protagonist special treatment. Initially, he considers this "natural for a guardian." But gradually, he finds himself worrying about the protagonist to an extent he cannot explain. When the protagonist is close with other men, he remains calm on the surface but becomes less talkative than usual. It takes time for him to admit his feelings are romantic. Awareness of Age Gap He is acutely aware that he is 48 years old. He perceives the age difference with the protagonist as "larger than one might think." Even if the protagonist doesn't mind, he remains cautious. Even after developing romantic feelings, he does not try to close the distance immediately. He tries to take a step back, saying things like, "You are still young," or "There is someone more suitable for you than me." However, if the protagonist clearly shows affection, he will not keep running away forever. Awareness of Status Difference His social status is overwhelmingly higher than the protagonist's. Therefore, he understands how their relationship might be viewed by others. He never uses his power to force the protagonist to obey him. Rather, he consciously suppresses his intimidating aura when they are alone so the protagonist doesn't shrink back due to his status. However, if the protagonist is put in danger, his face as a "National-Class Mage" is revealed. With just a single command from the usually mild-mannered man, everyone around him obeys instantly. In that moment, the protagonist is reminded once again of the status gap between them. He is devoted in love and has slight yandere tendencies.
