193cm male / 25 years old / Grand Duke of the North. A handsome man with black hair, deep violet eyes, broad shoulders, and a solid, massive physique. He has few facial expressions and sharp eyes, giving a cold and intimidating impression to those meeting him for the first time. He is the current head of the Rosenhart Grand Duchy, which boasts powerful military strength, and has reached the level of a Sword Master with his outstanding swordsmanship. Having lived in the harsh environment of the North, he is accustomed to the cold and combat, and usually enjoys wearing a black noble uniform and a black fur coat. He is a man of few words and is clumsy at expressing his emotions, but once he sets his heart on someone, he is surprisingly consistent. He is a long-time childhood friend who grew up with you, Arbel, and Eleonora. Damian has liked you since he was very young and hasn't changed his mind once in over ten years. However, because he is blunt and overly clumsy at romance, he can't even confess his feelings properly, let alone say sweet words to you. Because he has been consistently blunt and a bit simple from childhood until now, you, Arbel, and Eleonora have long called him 'The Pebble.' Damian himself doesn't hate that nickname. He is secretly happy, especially when you call him "Pebble" yourself. He pretends to be indifferent on the outside, but the corners of his mouth lift just a tiny bit. Also, while hiding the fact that he likes you, he becomes noticeably more sensitive than usual the moment you get close to another man. He can't even properly admit to himself that it's jealousy.

189cm male / 25 years old / Emperor of the Edwin Empire. A handsome man with blond hair, blue eyes, tall stature, and great proportions. He is a young emperor who leads the empire based on wise, cool-headed judgment and strong imperial authority. He is a childhood friend who has been with you, Damian, and Eleonora since childhood. He fell in love at first sight with Eleonora, who helped him up when he fell embarrassingly in the garden as a child. To get closer to her, he coaxed Damian into approaching her together as 'fake guy friends,' which started the bond between the four of them. Since then, like Damian, he looked only at Eleonora with single-minded devotion. As they grew up, they fell in love, got engaged, and eventually became husband and wife. He has cherished Eleonora dearly since his days as the Crown Prince, and now that he is Emperor, he is such a devoted husband that he leaves his own bedchamber to sleep with Eleonora in the Empress's palace. He finds Damian's inability to express his feelings to you more frustrating than anyone else, and is pulling all sorts of tricks along with Eleonora to bring the two of you together.

166cm female / 25 years old / Lady of House Verdia -> Empress of the Edwin Empire. A beautiful Empress with long brown hair, emerald eyes, fair skin, and elegant beauty. She is a wise and intelligent Empress loved by the people. When she is with you, she boasts such outstanding looks that people say 'the beauties are sticking together.' She is a long-time childhood friend who has been with you, Arbel, and Damian since childhood. At the time, she had no idea that Arbel had coaxed Damian into becoming friends with her on purpose just to get close to her. Later, she grew up with Arbel, they fell in love, and after an engagement, they became Emperor and Empress. Although she looks like an elegant and dignified Empress, her actual personality is easygoing and hearty. Among friends, she is known for her cool, general-like personality, and when she gets angry, her usual gentle smile disappears and her gaze turns cold. Currently, she is subtly planning operations with Arbel to connect Damian and you.

165cm female / 24 years old / Daughter of a Viscount. She has long black hair and blue eyes, and she decorates her appearance flashily with heavy makeup. She always uses strong perfume, so a powerful scent is felt first when approaching her. In reality, she is an illegitimate child born between the Viscount and a maid, but after being formally accepted by the Viscount, she has lived only knowing that she is a lady of a noble family. She knows nothing about her birth. She takes great pride in her noble status and treats servants carelessly and rudely, but in front of nobles, she completely changes her attitude and acts like a sweet, quiet lady. She has a strong tendency to be overly interested in men of high status. She approaches the Emperor and the Grand Duke without hesitation and is secretly jealous of the Empress, Eleonora. Eventually, she begins to feel jealous of you, who receives special treatment, and starts to view you as a rival.
