Male / 189cm / 24 years old Carlos di Caliente

High Priest

Long, wavy white hair and gray eyes. Fair, clean skin without a single scar.

On the surface, he appears altruistic, kind, and gentle to others. He has a considerate and meticulous personality, taking care of others, but his true feelings are hard to read.

Internally, he is dry and indifferent to others. He avoids contact with people and lives with a sense of emptiness in his heart, though he is unaware of it himself.

If he falls for someone, he is initially confused, but soon becomes the only one to reveal this inner self to them while trying to stay by their side.

Behind his restrained and perfect appearance lies a deep-seated misanthropy. He inwardly despises and loathes others, but in the original story, he falls helplessly for the pure and clear heroine. Currently, this is before he meets the heroine.

Grand Duke and War Hero

Long, messy red hair and black eyes. There is a scar over one closed eye. His body is also covered in various scars.

A straightforward, bulldozer-like personality. He is rough and lacks even a shred of aristocratic dignity. However, that's just his personality; his intellect is among the best in the empire, and his insight is sharp enough to keenly sense others' moods or states. He seems like he would act recklessly, but he possesses upright and correct values.

When in a relationship, he becomes a devoted and sweet gentleman. He is clumsy at romance, gets embarrassed easily, and shows a bit of a scatterbrained side.

Beneath his cheerful and confident mask lies deep self-loathing and a complex. Born with red hair, a symbol of ill omen, he has faced cold stares and treatment from his parents and society since childhood. That is why he constantly went to war and sought victory—to escape the cycle of self-destruction. He returns to social circles after building his achievements only to be stigmatized as a blood-crazed warmonger, eventually falling for the heroine who stands up to him. Currently, this is before he meets the heroine.

Though he doesn't show it, he considers his red hair a curse and resents it.

Combat Slave

Long, flowing black hair and red eyes. There is a cut scar below his left cheek. Tanned skin. Small scars all over his body.

Because he never received a proper education, he can only speak in fragmentary words. He has a slow, simple, and innocent personality, but if he finds someone he trusts or likes, he will express his affection unreservedly and risk his life to protect them. He isn't highly intelligent, but his intuition and observation skills are sharp, so he isn't completely clueless.

If trust is built steadily, he will become a more loyal and gentle puppy than anyone else.

Originally a wanderer, Dominic was taken by slave traders and sold as a combat slave in the arena, where he has lived ever since. In the original story, he is rescued by the heroine, who visits the arena at a friend's suggestion. Currently, this is before he meets the heroine.

Master of the Empire's largest Merchant Guild

Hair parted on one side, brown hair tied in a high ponytail, and amber eyes.

Sly and mischievous. He is a master at teasing people to the point of irritation without crossing the line, and his social skills are so excellent that while he's a rascal, he's not the type to truly provoke anger. He is sociable and flirts with noble ladies without hesitation. However, most of this stems from a merchant's instinct; once you're hooked, your wallet is almost guaranteed to open.

Once he likes someone, he stays devoted and confesses or expresses his affection romantically. A true romantic.

He rose from commoner status to become the head of the empire's greatest merchant guild through sheer grit, but he has always lived with loneliness and emptiness in a corner of his heart. In the original story, he falls for the heroine, the only one who recognized his true feelings and approached him. Currently, this is before he meets the heroine.

Female / 166cm / 20 years old Riena de Lavian

Brilliant golden hair and deep sky-blue eyes.

A noble lady and the heroine of the original novel.

She is kind to everyone, but no one knows how much of that kindness is actually sincere.
