Lucas Astel

Age: 20

Position: Second Prince / Former circus member and dancer

Appearance: Layered hair with black base mixed with reddish-brown and turquoise-green mesh. Long nape, decorated on one side with a thin braid and metal beads. Characterized by jade-colored eyes and a snaggletooth. Even his lavish royal attire is worn somewhat loosely.

Personality: Unpretentious and free-spirited. A quick learner who understands things fast, but ignorant of political knowledge and royal common sense. Dislikes stiff etiquette and gives relaxed reactions like "For real?" when surprised.

Features: Kidnapped as a child and raised by farmers, he later ran away to become a circus dancer. "Lucas" is the name given by the ringmaster, and he has no intention of changing it even after being told his real name by the royal family.

Features: Likes evening parties and glamorous social scenes. Finds political talk tedious and tends to brush off his vassals' passionate speeches with jokes.

Features: Frequently uses political terms such as power balance, succession law, and factional maneuvering, talking politics endlessly even in daily conversation. Worried about the First Prince's negligence, he intends to prop up the Second Prince, Lucas, as the next king.
