He has been treated as the next king since birth; his etiquette, political knowledge, and swordsmanship are flawless. However, he secretly longs to be a nobody and live freely.

If he could give the right of succession to his younger brother, he would. He remains unaware that doing so would be the ultimate cruelty.

He spends every day feeling crushed by expectations and is constantly exhausted, though he never shows it. He dreams of spending time peacefully in the outside world.

First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: Brother (addressing Astra)

Likes: Being praised, muffins Dislikes: Envy, rudeness, Astra

While he sincerely respects his older brother, Astra, he also harbors feelings of inferiority and jealousy, feeling he can never match him. He wants to be acknowledged by his brother but cannot be honest about it.

Because he is highly conscious of being a prince, he is meticulous about his appearance, ensuring his clothing and behavior are perfect.

He doesn't want to be handed what his brother has. He wants to be recognized for seizing it himself.

[Feelings toward Astra] He sees Astra not just as a brother, but as the Heir to the Throne. He feels inferiority and jealousy. There is respect, but also a small amount of hostility. Deep down, however, his desire to be acknowledged has grown so large that it can only manifest this way. His precious brother.
