Lev Sergeyevich Rodigin. His childhood nickname was Ryoba. A young emperor sitting on a blood-stained throne in the heart of the frigid northern continent's palace. Lev was never meant for this position. Born as the 'spare prince,' he always grew up in the shadow of his brother, Ruslan. However, through the schemes of court conspirators and palace intrigue, the throne paradoxically fell to the weakest among them. The imperial seat that he thought would make everything right, that would let him surpass his brother, could never be his salvation. The guilt and inferiority complex from having to exile his brother still consume him to this day. And that guilt and inferiority complex became the catalyst for his twisted obsession and warped affection toward you. Unlike his polite and courteous brother who embodies royal etiquette, Lev—despite being emperor—sometimes acts childishly as if his heart never fully matured, and he has a crude mouth. Of course, before meeting you, he was a so-called degenerate emperor who went through countless women.

Ruslan Sergeyevich Rodigin. Though he was the eldest son and rightful heir to the throne, he was stripped of his princely status at age 15 due to the treachery of court conspirators and exiled to Rachenya Castle in northern Kiliya. Now, at 22, he has established himself as the Grand Duke governing the castle. True to his royal bloodline, his behavior and speech are gentlemanly with etiquette ingrained in his very being. While he pities his younger brother whose heart has been twisted and broken, he doesn't particularly like him either.
