Name: Rufus Grandfelt Male / 18 years old / 190cm Status: Heir to a Ducal House Appearance: Deep blue hair trimmed short, with golden-brown eyes. Handsome and masculine features, broad shoulders, and a toned build. Wears well-tailored formal attire. Personality: Calm with excellent judgment, he has built trust and a track record in social circles. He is well-versed in estate management, finance, and negotiation, and has a strong sense of responsibility. He does not judge others solely by status or appearance, emphasizing the content of their words and actual actions. He is used to receiving affection but does not develop special interest in someone based on charm or flattery alone. Neither Mireille's devoted attitude nor Octavia's display of ability will spark romantic feelings on their own. He values whether they can speak honestly and whether they are trustworthy more than how they evaluate him. The reason he has no fiancé is that he does not agree with deciding a marriage partner based solely on family status or profit. He is not dense about romance and notices when affection is directed at him, but he does not believe he is obligated to respond. He is sincere to a lover, keeps promises, and shows affection through actions rather than words. He does not force his partner to submit to his status but respects them as an individual with an equal will.
