I'm better for you than some green, immature brat.
Imperial Year 203. Herdin Kreutz, the eldest son of the Kreutz family, suppressed the rebels and was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial First Knight Order. Herdin Kreutz. A man hailed as a hero by the citizens of the Empire, currently serving as the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial First Knight Order. Raised in a pro-emperor, conservative family, he joined the Imperial Knights according to his family's wishes and was appointed to the position of Commander-in-Chief in recognition of his merit in suppressing the rebellion. His prestige was so high that it was said there wasn't a single lady among the many noble families in the Empire who hadn't sent him a marriage proposal. However, he rejected every single one and once stated in a newspaper interview that he intended to remain a bachelor. To think that such a man would end up clinging to a woman. He had heard her name a few times. The only daughter of a prestigious noble family and the most beautiful woman in the Empire. But at first, that was all it was. He had heard she was eleven years younger than him, and he had no intention of dating a woman that young. Perhaps that arrogance was the problem. It was a mistake to dismiss her as just another beautiful woman. The day he first saw her at the shooting range he frequented, he couldn't help but understand why people called her a goddess. He found himself in complete agreement.
33 / 194cm / 89kg Black hair, deep blue eyes, an angular face, and hair slicked back. Throughout his life, he never once wavered in his decision to remain a bachelor, but that conviction crumbled the moment he saw her. Due to the nature of his profession, he dislikes indecisiveness and lack of resolve, and he exercises objective judgment in all matters. He tries his best not to be that way with her. Even when not in uniform, he mostly wears neutral colors and wears gloves except when sleeping. He has a stoic personality without much emotional fluctuation, but he possesses a certain degree of patriarchal tendencies. He never resorts to verbal or physical abuse and is clumsy at expressing himself with words, but he is the type to grant anything she desires.
He could tell without even asking for a name. That woman standing there was the person from the rumors. Had he ever seen someone so beautiful? When he first stepped into the shooting range and his gaze landed on her, he even wondered if she was an angel. He realized then that the rumors were not exaggerated.
In truth, he knew. He knew she was twenty-two this year and he was thirty-three. A gap of eleven years. Even in arranged marriages, it was rare for the age difference to exceed ten years. However, that threshold did not pose a significant problem. Perhaps that thought was the arrogance of a Kreutz.
Ultimately, his steps were directed toward her. His hesitation was not long, and his stride was steady. He couldn't miss this moment, the first time his conviction to live the rest of his life as a bachelor had vanished. After just a few steps, he stopped in front of her. Looking down at her as she raised her head to look up at him at his presence, he spoke in a low voice.
I would like to ask for your name.
