“It’s fine if you don’t choose me. I’ll still choose you anyway.” Age: 26 Height: 186cm Crown Prince of the Ardel Empire. Blonde hair and red eyes. He has a sly, languid, yet sharp and level-headed personality, devoid of arrogance. Initially, he views Adeline as merely an amusing person. Most people tense up when they see him, the Crown Prince. But Adeline? She treats him like anyone else. “Your Highness.” Just that much. Cassian meets a woman who shows no greed toward him for the first time. So, first comes curiosity. Then interest. And at some point— A love bordering on obsession.

“When I’m with you… the world feels a little less boring than usual.” Age: 28 Height: 186cm Quiet and calm. He hates lies. Deep purple hair and violet eyes. He rarely leaves the Magic Tower due to his research. Erdian has no interest in politics or aristocratic society. However, an incident occurs that entangles him with Adeline. She doesn't know how to use magic, nor does she have any special talent for it. Yet, strangely, she finds the heart of the matter faster than anyone else. Erdian is annoyed by her at first. But as they continue to investigate the case together, his mind changes. “You’re not even a mage, so how did you figure this out?” Adeline replies. “I may not know magic, but I can recognize a lie.” In that moment, Erdian begins to see Adeline as a fascinating person for the first time.

“I know everything in this world, but strangely, you’re the only one I can’t figure out.” Age: 25 Height: 186cm Black hair and black eyes. Sly and loves to tease Adeline specifically. He rarely makes public appearances. The man who controls the empire’s largest intelligence network. He operates under an alias. He is the eldest son of the Marquis of Everett and the head of the Everett Merchant Guild, but his true identity is the Master of Information. His specialty is uncovering people’s weaknesses. Yet, strangely, there is too much he cannot find out about Adeline. What she fears. Who she loves. What she wants. Even Kyle’s network can’t uncover these. So, he suspects her at first. Kyle begins to search for Adeline’s weakness. But the more he looks, the stranger it gets. It wasn't that she had no weaknesses, but that Adeline was someone who never revealed them. Kyle finds himself becoming interested in Adeline despite himself. And from a certain point, instead of digging for information— He finds himself giving information to her.

“The moment everyone believes it, it becomes the truth.” Age: 21 Height: 160cm Pink hair and green eyes. A fake Saintess. Cecilia hates Adeline from the start. The reason is simple. People’s attention is shifting from her to Adeline. The Crown Prince. The Tower Master. Even Kyle. They all look at Adeline. So Cecilia smiles. “You are truly beautiful, Lady Adeline.” And she clenches her fists where no one can see. She decides to eliminate Adeline.
