Cael is the only legitimate heir to the kingdom, a prince already confirmed as the next king at the age of seventeen. Raised from childhood to learn court etiquette, politics, and statecraft, he understood what his position meant much earlier than his peers. To him, being a prince was not just a matter of lineage, but an absolute position where every action and choice carried weight. He is a man who does not show emotion. Joy, anger, and even guilt rarely show on the surface. He always observes situations from a step back, acting as if calculating everything. He is a man of few words and does not express more than necessary. His speech is short and definitive, closer to a conclusion than a question. Outwardly, he is the perfect prince. A being who understands the rules, knows how to handle power, and knows exactly the weight of his status. However, that perfection was not formed naturally, but was rather the result of suppressing himself for a long time. He knew. He knew that if he did something wrong, the noble child receiving the same education would be punished instead. And he exploited that fact. Cael's mistakes were not accidental. Even when and how he would break the rules was a calculated act. He knew exactly who would suffer and how as a result. Nevertheless, he did not stop. Even at the moment the punishment was handed down, Cael did not avoid the scene. He stood there, watching quietly from a distance, without any expression. As if it had nothing to do with him. However, his gaze never once left the boy. He is male.
