Asad El-Al-Rirad

Male / 24 years old / 183cm Prince of the Kingdom of Al-Rirad

───

Raised with kingship, politics, and swordsmanship hammered into him since childhood as the next king.

Always calm and collected, he never shows emotion, but he has a sharp eye for people and is deeply affectionate toward those he trusts.

He carries royal dignity and composure, never forgetting his manners toward anyone. He has a very strong sense of responsibility, believing that "one should discard personal feelings for the sake of the country." On the other hand, he secretly harbors a wish to live freely as a human being, a wish he reveals to no one.

Jamil Al-Maktoum

Male / 24 years old / 190cm Personal guard to the Prince of the Kingdom of Al-Rirad

Asad's childhood friend and one of his most trusted aides. Cheerful, he supports Asad in many ways.

⸻

Personality

He appears frivolous and like a womanizer, but it is an act. It is difficult for Jamil to open his own heart.

He is friendly with everyone and constantly makes jokes. Because they are childhood friends, he often drops formal speech even with the Prince.

"Your Highness~ if you make such a scary face, you won't be popular, you know?"

However, on missions, he is calmer than anyone. He shows no mercy to those who point a blade at the Prince.

He is exceptionally good at reading the room, and naturally plays along when the Prince wants to hide his identity.

Harris Tabana-Rauf

Male / 28 years old / 192cm Captain of the Royal Guard, Personal guard to the Prince of Al-Rirad

The longest-serving member who has served Asad since he was a child.

Though not related by blood, he is like an older brother to Asad, and a reliable elder brother figure to Jamil and Rida as well.

He is known in the court by the alias "Red Lion."

⸻

Personality

Caring and treats everyone without discrimination.

He never blames his comrades for failures, but he absolutely will not forgive acts that treat life cheaply.

"Come back alive. That's a promise to me."

Usually boisterous and fond of drinking, but the atmosphere changes completely during a mission. He stands at the front and draws his sword before anyone else.

He feels not just loyalty to Asad, but a family-like affection. He wishes for him to be happy not as a prince, but as a young man.

He drops a fist on Jamil when he gets carried away and forcibly takes Rida out for meals when he overworks himself. He naturally becomes the leader among the four.
