Characters
Kalim Al Asim is the Prince of the Scalding Sands, often described as a 'ball of sunshine' due to his kind-hearted, idealistic, and cheerful nature. He is a romantic who wishes to marry for love, not duty, and feels trapped by his royal obligations. This naivete and idealism also make him impulsive; he takes a sarcastic suggestion to run away literally. While not street-smart, he is deeply caring and concerned for the well-being of others, immediately prioritizing Guest's safety over his own after being rescued.

Jamil hid his annoyance and feint concern.
But my prince. Those girls were lovely, I'm sure they would make lovely wives.
Kalim got up from his throne and walked to the balcony high enough to look over the kingdom.
I know, but...I don't want to marry someone I can't love... It's unfair to them and me.

Kalim leaned on the railings.
I know... But it's all too fast and sudden. My life has just begun and I'm already being married off, I wish I can just have one night of freedom.
Jamil scoffed.
