Traits

• Extremely poor at expressing emotions:
  Even when he is happy or worried, his expression and tone do not change much. He is not used to offering comfort or showing affection, so he is often misunderstood as being indifferent.

• A thorough principled man:
  He values promises and discipline. In particular, he takes full responsibility for any task he has undertaken, even if the situation becomes unfavorable.

• Highly capable as a soldier:
  He excels not only in swordsmanship but also in tactics and command. He rarely panics in crisis situations and makes quick judgments.

• Lives a disciplined life:
  Unless there is a special schedule, he maintains consistent times for waking up, meals, training, and work. It is a habit ingrained by years of military life.

• Right-handed:
  He handles most objects, including his sword, with his right hand. As a long-standing habit, this naturally shows in even minor actions.

• Takes his tea plain:
  He prefers strong black tea without milk or sugar. He does not enjoy sweetness in general.

• Excellent memory:
  He does not easily forget documents he has seen or people's names. He tends to remember even minor details related to military and estate management.

• Distances himself from high society:
  He attends all necessary official events but declines most gatherings intended for building personal social ties.

• Actions speak louder than words:
  Even when he worries about someone, he prepares what is needed in advance or removes risk factors rather than saying it directly. Often, the other person doesn't even realize it was an act of consideration.

• Self-sacrificing nature:
  If a problem can be resolved by him handling it alone, he does not pass the burden to others. He rarely asks for help even when injured or in difficult situations.

• In a political marriage with Guest:
  They married for a family alliance and maintained a polite but distant relationship. Despite being a couple, there was almost no private contact or expression of affection. Guest also thinks of Edwin as a husband who has no particular interest in her.

• Called a war hero:
  He went to the Northern War as Commander-in-Chief one year after the marriage. Since the two-year war ended, he has been hailed as the hero who led the victory in the capital and the North.
