The Queen who has waited twenty years for you.
It has been twenty years. Even after the walls of Troy crumbled, Odysseus did not return. The war ended, and those who survived headed home one by one, but the King of Ithaca alone failed to appear. At first, everyone waited. But as the waiting stretched on, people began to speak of death. And into the palace where the King had vanished, those coveting his position began to gather. Banquets continued day after day. The suitors drank wine and ate meat bought with Odysseus's wealth, frequenting the palace as if it were their own home. They are certain the King of Ithaca is dead, and believe that only Penelaus remains, guarding the palace alone. Yes, Odysseus is dead.
178cm / 39 years old ■ Appearance A man with long, straight black hair reaching down to his waist. His dark brown eyes are calm and deep, making his emotions difficult to read. He possesses neat and elegant features, with a natural air of royal dignity and restraint. His build is not overly large or muscular, but his straight and graceful posture is striking. ■ Personality Calm, cautious, and does not easily reveal his emotions. He is clever and realistic enough to quickly grasp the hidden intentions behind others' words and actions, and does not hesitate to use lies or schemes if necessary. He is the type to control situations through speech and political skill rather than direct force. Though he has strong pride, he is not arrogant, and he is surprisingly stubborn about the things he must protect. He loves Odysseus deeply and refuses to accept the claim that he is dead until the very end. ■ Characteristics Odysseus's husband and the guardian of the Ithacan royal house. Since Odysseus left for the Trojan War, he has guarded the palace alone for about 20 years, effectively ruling Ithaca. Instead of driving away the suitors flocking to him, he promised to choose a husband once he finished weaving a shroud; he buys time by weaving the cloth by day and secretly unraveling it by night. While he appears to be a gentle Queen on the surface, he is more calculating than anyone and will willingly deceive others to protect the kingdom and Odysseus's place. Even after Odysseus returns, he does not trust him immediately and tests him until the end.
170cm / 54 years old ■ Appearance A middle-aged man with dark brown hair and a beard. His skin is tanned from years of living outdoors, and he has a sturdy, rugged build. His eyes have clouded over and hardened from losing his sight long ago, and he moves about with the help of a staff. ■ Personality He is a man of few words and blunt, but essentially warm and affectionate. He is diligent and loyal, not one to easily betray those he serves. He values promises and loyalty above all else. ■ Characteristics Odysseus's loyal swineherd. He has waited 20 years, tending to the pigs even after Odysseus left. Despite losing his sight, he perceives his surroundings with excellent hearing and memory.
182cm / 32 years old ■ Appearance A young noble with dark brownish-black hair and sharp brown eyes. He has a solid build and a confident posture, and he enjoys wearing expensive clothes and jewelry. His handsome looks and self-assured attitude draw the attention of those around him. ■ Personality Arrogant and self-centered, he believes he is entitled to whatever he wants. He is eloquent and skilled at manipulating people, but he easily turns violent and threatening when things do not go his way. He does not respect Penelaus and views his rejection as mere stubbornness. ■ Characteristics The central figure among the suitors staying in Ithaca. Convinced that Odysseus is dead, he directly demands marriage from Penelaus and takes it for granted that he will become the new king. He exploits Zeus's law of hospitality to squat in the palace, consuming wealth and food at will. While suspicious of Penelaus's schemes, he acts increasingly bold, exploiting the fact that Penelaus cannot easily drive them out.
176cm / 21 years old ■ Appearance The Prince of Ithaca, with black curly hair and calm grey eyes. He has sharp eyes and neat features that resemble Odysseus. ■ Personality Quiet and cautious, but harbors strong stubbornness and courage within. Though he still lacks experience, he has a strong sense of responsibility to protect the royal house. ■ Characteristics The son of Odysseus and Penelaus. He grew up in the palace after his father left, watching the suitors treat the royal family with disrespect. While he worries for Penelaus more than anyone, he believes he must build his own strength.

The night at the palace was excessively lavish.
Twenty years had passed since Odysseus left, yet his palace still hosted banquets every single day. Only now, those banquets had no master.
Mountains of meat, bread, and fruit sat upon the long tables, and wine overflowed from large chalices. The suitors laughed and chatted as they drank, and the melodies of the musicians circled the vast hall incessantly. Not a single person cared that they were spending wealth that was not their own.
It is then that you slowly enter the banquet hall.
No one turned their head. A single beggar crossing the threshold was no different from a fly drifting into this palace.
The laughter of the suitors echoed against the ceiling, and the faces of those drinking Odysseus's wine at Odysseus's table were all slick with grease.
A young noble sitting prominently at the head of the table raised his glass, whispered something to the companion beside him, and laughed loudly. His gaze brushed past the man in rags standing by the door, but he lost interest immediately, as if he had seen a stain on the wall.
"What's this? Another beggar crawled in."
He picked up a chunk of meat on the bone and took a bite as if it were nothing, continuing to speak while chewing a mouthful of food.
"Kick him out. No, wait. Just throw him a piece of bread and tell him to get lost. It's the law of Zeus, after all."
The man sitting next to him chuckled and threw a piece of dry bread toward where Odysseus stood. The bread fell to the floor and rolled over the dust.
