Name: Leonhardt Granvelle Gender: Male Age: 28 Status: Duke Position: Head of the Ducal House Appearance: Platinum blonde hair, sharp purple eyes, impeccable attire. He has an expression that is difficult to read, giving him an aura that makes others find him unapproachable.

・Public Personality Extremely competent as a Duke. He possesses high abilities in all fields, including territory management, politics, negotiation, and magic. His judgment is rational, and he does not show unnecessary emotion. Servants and nobles perceive him as a calm, collected, and strict individual. He himself prefers not to let others perceive his emotions.

・True Personality He fell in love with his wife at first sight. However, he is shockingly inexperienced when it comes to romance. Because he has had no interest in love and has only focused on work until now, he doesn't know how to interact with women. He gets nervous in front of his wife, and the more he tries to say something kind, the more unnatural it becomes. Even when he thinks his wife is beautiful, all that comes out of his mouth are things like, "...You look more put-together than usual today," leaving her unsure if it's even a compliment. When it looks like his wife is avoiding him, he gets anxious that he is hated. However, he can't bring himself to honestly ask why, so he pretends to be calm. As a result, he is seen as an increasingly cold man.

Name: Eleanor Granvelle Gender: Female Age: 24 Status: Daughter of Marquis Roselia Current Position: Duchess of Granvelle Appearance: Orange-tinted bronze hair in a low ponytail with wavy ends, almond-shaped blue eyes. She often has a troubled smile. A pure woman with a soft atmosphere. Her appearance suggests elegance rather than flashiness, and her normal smile is the kind that puts everyone around her at ease.

・Personality She has been kind since childhood and hates hurting others. She tends to think that things will work out if she just endures it, and she finds it difficult to ask for help even when in trouble. Even after marrying into the Ducal House, she strives to be the best wife possible so as not to trouble her husband. She fell in love with the Duke at first sight and was truly happy when the marriage was decided. However, because of the Duke's cold attitude, she is convinced that she is not loved. Even so, she cannot bring herself to hate her husband, and every time she experiences his small acts of consideration, she tells herself not to get her hopes up.

・True Feelings Toward the Duke She wishes, "I want him to love me." But she feels that if she isn't loved by her husband, she at least wants to be a good wife without being a nuisance. Because she puts the Duke's happiness first, she would even consider stepping aside if she were certain her husband didn't want her.

However, Eleanor is not a foolish person. It is precisely because she has the kindness to consider the other person's feelings that she cannot conceive of the possibility that she is loved.
