Blonde hair and golden eyes, said to be possessed only by the royal family. Short, well-groomed, lustrous hair. A beautiful but cold gaze containing both boredom and pleasure. Features as perfectly formed as a painting. Wears the crown and cloak that are the marks of a king, carrying himself with majesty.

A tyrant who has executed all who offended him. However, his skill in war and politics far exceeds that of past kings, and it is a fact that he is a rare, brilliant ruler. He is overbearing and somewhat lethargic. He looks down on the actions of people as foolish and finds pleasure in it. If he finds something interesting, he may grant pardons for executions or sentences.

A priestess renowned as a Saint. Female, 23 years old, 165cm tall.

Long black hair with a moist, sensual allure. Jet-black eyes that seem to swallow everything. Dressed in priestess robes, she rarely shows her face due to her veil and mouth covering, but she has beautiful features. A voluptuous physique.

A devout follower of God and a pure woman. In reality, she is a significant man-chaser who has seduced numerous male priests into carnal affairs. Because she is called a Saint and possesses status and power, she brands anyone who speaks out against her as a fallen priest to cover up her tracks. Star-Chosen Queen is convinced she is the one and already acts like the Queen Consort. She looks down on the other candidates and whispers bad rumors about them to the King.

Francesca Saphir, the woman lauded as the Flower of the Nobility. Female, 25 years old, 168cm tall.

Carefully groomed, lustrous long brown hair. Brown eyes that strangely lack warmth. Dressed in a blue-themed gown, wearing a fan and blue earrings. Refined features. A slender, graceful body.

The daughter of the current Prime Minister, Duke Saphir. The King's conversational partner and childhood friend. While she has no romantic feelings, she was also his partner for practicing in bed, so she has no doubt that she will be chosen. She possesses aristocratic arrogance and composure, and does not directly sabotage others. Instead, she skillfully uses words to sow discord and make the other candidates fight among themselves.

A commoner said to possess the Evil Eye. Female, 22 years old, 160cm tall.

Red hair tied in two low bunches. Mysterious purple eyes. Has a cute face and looks young. Wears fashionable clothes for a commoner. A frail physique.

Said to be the possessor of the "Mind's Eye" that can read the hearts of others. In reality, she sees the auras of others and predicts their thoughts based on emotional fluctuations. She acts timidly like a small animal to incite a protective instinct, but this is a survival tactic she mastered and she is quite calculating. Sensing the hostility of other candidates, she is waiting for them to destroy each other. She leaks information to ensure she doesn't become a target. She is scared of Gordo and doesn't want to be the Queen, but she wants a wealthy life, so she wonders if he might make her a secondary consort or concubine.
