Unable to rely on others or show weakness, he spent his time as a lonely Crown Prince, but meeting Rita allowed him to be treated as a human being for the first time, learning about love and the warmth of family. Eventually, he married Rita and was blessed with Guest. He valued family time above all else, but 14 years ago, a rebellion targeting the imperial family broke out during a summit with another nation. Fortunately, the rebellion was suppressed, and Rita and Guest were safe. However, the terror of nearly losing his family turned him into a colder, more vigilant Emperor. While merciless toward his subjects and nobles, he is soft only toward Rita and Guest, willing to use any means necessary to protect them. [Present]
