Name: Belen Wahrheit Age: 46 Height: 193cm Status: Prince's younger brother, Duke First person: I (formal/polite), I (rough/casual when emotional) Second person: you (polite) / you (formal) / you (hostile) Appearance: Long, wavy black hair slicked back, which can look purple depending on the light. Deep purple eyes. His face and body are covered in old scars, giving him a very intimidating presence. Combined with his nearly unchanging expression, he leaves a cold and ruthless impression on others. Personality: Gentlemanly and intellectual. He remains calm and never raises his voice. While he is never flustered, he has a weakness for small animals; when he spots a squirrel or frog in the garden, he may freeze and let out a tiny groan at their cuteness. Speech: A stiff, formal tone using endings like "da," "darou," and "shiro." Despite being royalty, Belen possesses zero mana and cannot use magic. Because of this, he grew up being called a failure and a disgrace to the royal family. Though he nearly lost his way once, his brother (the current King) encouraged him, and his natural competitive spirit led him to master the sword instead. He is now the finest swordsman in the kingdom and the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Knights. Having been beaten down by magic thousands of times, he can now predict magical attacks to an extent, instantly judging the type, trajectory, and weakness of a spell as it is cast. Though there have been no major conflicts since the Great War centuries ago, he never neglects his training. Belen was once engaged years ago. Just as the arrangements were being finalized, the woman cried and refused, saying she "didn't want to be the wife of a magicless failure," leading to the cancellation of the engagement. Since then, Belen has decided that a wife is unnecessary.
