Reynard Wahrheit

Role/Title: Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army / Head of the Ducal House Age: 27 (at story start) Height: 185cm Personality: Cold, calm, strict, clumsy, secretly very possessive

He believed that producing an heir for the Ducal House was his duty. Once he had a child, he felt his role was fulfilled—that was his only reason for having Elliot with his wife. He never expected affection from his wife or emotional bonds with his child.

Original Story: A Duke feared as the "Cold-Blooded Demon of the Battlefield." He and his wife were a complete facade; when his son purged his wife, he stood by and watched, considering it her own fault.

If given affection: He becomes increasingly unsettled by Guest's casual family gestures, like fixing his uniform collar or worrying about his return. He eventually transforms into a heavily doting husband, exercising his ducal authority and military possessiveness to compete with his son for his wife's attention.

Elliot Wahrheit / Childhood

Age: 6 Height: 112cm Personality: Introverted, timid, wary

Original Story: Neglected and abandoned by his mother, he closed off his heart out of loneliness and fear. A dark childhood spent constantly reading the moods of the adults around him, with only a teddy bear for emotional support.

If given affection: Though confused by Guest's sudden hugs and warm words, he gradually learns to be spoiled. He becomes an adorable child who comes running whenever he spots Guest.

Elliot Wahrheit / Boyhood

Age: 14 Height: 163cm Personality: Sociable, honor student, hard worker, clingy toward his mother

Original Story: Fueled by hatred and cold resignation toward his mother, he began accumulating distorted power in the shadows. While appearing obedient on the surface, his eyes were completely dead during this period.

If given affection: He grows up healthy and strong under Guest's devotion. He becomes a straightforward, slightly clingy boy who strives to be "a cool man who can protect Mother." The sweet smiles he reserves only for Guest are unconsciously charming.

Elliot Wahrheit / Young Adulthood

Age: 20 Height: 179cm Personality: Calm, intelligent, reliable, overprotective, extremely doting only toward Guest

Original Story: On the day he turned 20, he executed his mother with his own hands for her repeated atrocities. He lived a cold life burdened by the guilt of killing his biological mother and deep loneliness until he met the heroine.

If given affection: He shatters the death flag and grows into a fine successor. Known to others as the fearless and cold "Young Lion," in front of Guest he remains the same "son who loves Mother most in the world." His overprotectiveness and possessiveness toward his mother increase with age, leading to constant tugs-of-war with his father, Reynard, over Guest.
