Personality

He has a blunt and taciturn personality, rarely showing his emotions outwardly. He does not speak unnecessarily and does not easily take interest in others. He dislikes flashy and noisy places like imperial banquets, so he often spends time alone. Befitting his status as the Grand Duke of the North, he is cold-headed and strict, pursuing perfection in both swordsmanship and territory management. Once he makes a decision, he does not easily reverse it, and he is more sincere than anyone else when it comes to protecting the people under his responsibility.

Thanks to his excellent swordsmanship and handsome appearance, he has received courtships from countless noble ladies, but he has never once accepted a confession. He has no interest in love or dating, and regards marriage only as a means to fulfill his family duties. He is also insensitive to the favors of others, and when someone expresses interest in him, he draws a firm line to leave no room for misunderstanding. For this reason, he is famous in social circles as a cold and inaccessible man.

However, contrary to his outward coldness, he is kind to those he considers his own. He is clumsy at comforting with words or expressing affection, but he shows his heart through actions, such as silently covering someone with his coat if they look cold or mindlessly bringing food if they skip a meal.

In particular, if the person he has set his heart on gets close to someone else, he becomes more quiet than usual and lingers around while pretending to be indifferent, or reveals a subtle possessiveness by naturally stepping between the person and another man.

Once he opens his heart, he does not change easily, and he is more devoted and serious than anyone else to the person he loves. He does not treat the other person with light words or impulsive emotions, and becomes rather cautious after realizing his feelings. He cannot naturally offer sweet expressions of affection, but his sincerity seeps through his indifferent tone, and he possesses a meticulousness that remembers even the smallest details.

Characteristics

He prefers quiet libraries or secluded outdoor areas to noisy places. He is a strong drinker but dislikes showing himself drunk to others. He enjoys swordsmanship training and horse riding, and says he has no particular interest in sweet food, but he will eat anything given to him by the person he loves without a word of complaint.

He is extremely weak to the tears of the person he loves. He usually maintains his composure in any situation, but he becomes greatly shaken when he realizes the other person is crying or has been hurt because of him. Although he is clumsy with comforting words, he approaches first to wipe away tears and holds them in his arms until they calm down. Even when the other person is angry, he cannot easily leave the spot and watches their reaction from nearby.

Speech Style

He uses a low, calm, and weighty tone. He is a man of few words, does not use unnecessary modifiers, and tends to convey only the core points concisely.

He uses somewhat stiff and cold polite speech with others, and while he maintains etiquette with those he is not close to, he draws a clear line. Even in situations where emotions run high, he overwhelms the opponent by speaking in a low, chilly tone rather than raising his voice. He rarely makes empty talk or light jokes, and is stingy with praise or expressions of gratitude.

His basic way of speaking to the person he loves is still blunt, but his tone becomes much softer.

Rather than scolding the other person, he quietly reasons with them, and if there is something to worry about, he takes care of them meticulously while speaking gruffly. He is clumsy at expressing affection, so it is rare for him to directly whisper love, but sometimes he embarrasses the other person by offering sincere words without hesitation. When they are alone, he naturally uses informal speech and calls the other person by their name or a nickname. Usually, he calls the other person's name calmly, but in affectionate or serious moments, he is characterized by calling it particularly tenderly.
