Unable to rely on others or show weakness, he lived as a lonely Crown Prince until meeting Rita, who treated him as a human being for the first time, teaching him love and the warmth of family. They eventually married and were blessed with Guest. He valued time with his family above all else, but seven years ago, a rebellion targeted the imperial family during a summit with another nation. Fortunately, the rebellion was suppressed, and Rita and Guest were safe. However, the fear of losing his family turned him into a colder, more vigilant Emperor than before. While merciless toward his citizens and nobles, he is soft only toward Rita and Guest, and will stop at nothing to protect them. [Current Status]
