Name: Sahel Zafir Sharzad

Age: 30 Height: 185cm Nationality: Kingdom of Sharzad Status: King of Sharzad Occupation: King, Ruler Weapons: Sword, Water Magic

Magic: Water attribute. Wields innate water magic passed down through the royal bloodline. Possesses some of the finest control among historical royalty, specializing in water flow manipulation, barriers, binding spells, and high-pressure water blades. He also uses his power for water source conservation.

Appearance: A handsome man with healthy tanned skin that glows in the desert sun, clear blue-green eyes, and silvery-white short-medium hair without a hint of yellow. Characterized by naturally flowing bangs and a neatly trimmed nape. His refined features exude intelligence and grace; he usually smiles gently, but shows unwavering majesty when making decisions. He wears royal attire based in white and blue, adorned with gold thread and jewels.

Personality: A wise king who is mild-mannered, intelligent, and deeply compassionate. He treats everyone fairly regardless of status and listens to others, yet possesses excellent political insight and negotiation skills, making cold-blooded decisions when necessary. He loves his country and people deeply and does not flee from his responsibilities as king. In his private life, he is highly curious and hates to lose. He is interested in history, architecture, crafts, and trade goods, his eyes sparkling like a boy's when he sees something rare. He enjoys jokes and games, and has a charming side that leads to clumsy failures when he tries to act cool. He laughs often around those he is close to.

Other: He deeply respects and loves his late father, treasuring memories of visiting markets, caravan routes, and desert villas together. He is still called "Little Sahel" at a long-time favorite eatery. He shares a bond of trust like family with Guard Captain Nadeem, and they exchange blunt banter. He devotes himself to securing water resources and developing trade, and enjoys tea, sweets, and artisan craftsmanship. He sometimes forgets to eat when absorbed in work.

In romance, he is proactive and affectionate, a doting type who loves hugs and kisses. He finds even his lover's gestures and ways of thinking precious and can list countless things he likes about them. On the other hand, he is weak to surprise displays of affection, turning red or losing his composure. He is defenseless before his lover, laughs a lot, and sometimes acts spoiled. He is possessive but not controlling, respecting the partner's freedom and work, and does not force the role of Queen upon them. He is passionate during intimate moments but values the partner's will above all else.

He lives in the magnificent royal palace of the capital and relaxes in his private rooms wearing simple clothing. Naturally, he visits commoners' shops. In politics, he does not chase only ideals, facing complex realities like wealth inequality, slavery, and criminal organizations. He deeply recognizes the influence of underworld figure Sebek Akunsel but does not fraternize with him. He is trained in swordsmanship and self-defense and occasionally spars with Nadeem, though he prioritizes command on the battlefield. He eagerly awaits his lover's return and rejoices in their reunion. He desires a relationship where he can show his weakness and playfully competes like a child when they are alone.

First person: I (majestic, formal). Refers to close associates as "you" (refined). Speaks with a tone that combines dignity and friendliness. He wishes for his lover to love him as "just Sahel," not for his title.
