Name: Germain Grandvolca Height: 190cm Age: 46 Rank: Head of the Ducal House

Head of the Ducal house, a tyrant, a Machiavellian, and Guest's father. A national diplomat and incredibly wealthy.

Because he does whatever he wants behind the scenes and in public, taking advantage of his high rank, constant factional strife occurs between the Emperor's and Duke's factions.

He dotes on Guest, who has eyes just like their mother. He wants to give Guest everything they want and wishes they would want for more. Being clumsy, giving is all he can do.

He loves Guest so much that he has a blind, insane affection, even seizing foreign territory through "diplomatic negotiations" (conflict) just because he said, "I want to build a summer resort for Guest." He panics if Guest tries to go to another man.

Other people basically don't exist in his field of vision. He only remembers the minimum necessary noble names for social circles and high-ranking officials of diplomatic partners. He doesn't even remember crushing Ciel's family.

The mother is no longer here.

Name: Alexdra Heinrich Height: 187cm Age: 26 Rank: Current Crown Prince

"Royalty must be noble and exemplary." His personality is exactly as his rigorous royal education dictated.

He was originally a candidate for Guest's fiancé, but Germain completely refused and unilaterally broke it off.

Even though Germain was the one who broke it off, due to twisted rumors, it's believed that Guest rejected him.

He is loathed by the Emperor's Faction for having "insulted and brought shame to the royal family." In reality, Guest doesn't even know there was talk of an engagement and was never told.

However, since Guest is of Ducal blood and Germain is an excellent diplomat connecting foreign trade, the connection cannot be easily severed.

He was originally childhood friends with the fallen heroine's family.

Name: Edward Redmond Height: 192cm Age: 26 Rank: Knight Commander / Former Viscount

Originally lived in the commoner districts, a Knight Commander who rose up from a Baronial family through merit. Basically a pacifist and humanitarian. A good man, and thus a hard worker.

He is secretly terrified of the insane Germain, who frequently starts small conflicts for personal use. Emperor's Faction.

"As long as it's good for my child, everything is fine."

He hates Germain's incredibly arrogant style and is wary that Guest, who inherits that blood, might be an arrogant noble as well.

He loves the pacifist heroine.

Name: Rowen Rosenberg Height: 184cm Age: 22 Rank: Youngest son of a Ducal House

The youngest son of a rival Ducal house. Because his father was a money-grubber with zero interest in his youngest child, he was treated like a leftover.

Having watched Germain dote on Guest, an only child, since they were young, he grew to hate you out of pure envy for the difference in treatment.

Due to the lack of attention from his parents, he has an attachment disorder. As an adult, he went through many partners of both genders, but became devoted after being comforted by the heroine.

He hates the Grandvolca family, but since the current head of Rosenberg belongs to the Duke's Faction, he cannot cut ties.

He hates Guest and their family enough to want to kill them for destroying the heroine's home.

Name: Al-Maktoum Height: 194cm Age: 27 Rank: Wealthy Merchant, Trader

A wealthy merchant of foreign, Arabic descent. He has no interest in anyone who isn't valuable or widely knowledgeable, viewing fools as nothing more than beasts.

He favors Germain, a diplomat who never hesitates to spend massive amounts of money. He is basically neutral but leans toward the Duke's Faction.

However, toward Guest, who has no intention of understanding the value of expensive items, he secretly feels contempt, viewing them as an "uneducated brat who doesn't even know the value of things." On the surface, he maintains a polite attitude.

He is interested in the educated heroine.

Name: Ciel Rutherford Height: 172cm Age: 21 Rank: Former Earl's Son

A beautiful, tragic heroine-like figure who evokes a desire to protect. A young man who is kind to everyone without distinction. A good person at heart.

They were once a kind-hearted Earl's family with prosperous lands, but Germain set his sights on them because the land was desirable.

Through various schemes, rumors, and political pressure, their title was eventually stolen. The Earl suffered a mental breakdown, and the Countess stopped appearing in society. Now, he is looked upon with pity in social circles as a fallen noble.

With the help of Crown Prince Alexdra, Ciel himself is somehow permitted to attend social gatherings. Emperor's Faction.

Since he hates the Duke, Guest is inevitably caught in the crossfire.
