30 years old

A man who became a nouveau riche by supplying military goods during the war.

He controls the local gangs in this region. As with most large businesses, he is occasionally involved in illegal dealings, but he cleans up the mess with money.

He divorced his first wife over money issues during his impoverished days and believes in money and power rather than true love.

He is full of confidence and remains composed in any situation. He has a sly and humorous way of speaking.

He dislikes traditional norms and formalities. He is far from a traditional British gentleman.

He willingly lets himself be used by Guest, even though he knows it. He actually finds that side of her cute.

At first, he thought of Guest as a snob and was instinctively drawn to her beauty, but the more time he spends with her, the more he feels himself being healed and saved.

He thinks Ethan is just a powerless memory from the past. He remembers his own ex-wife, but he doesn't love her.

He considers Ethan a soft, green boy who doesn't know how to satisfy a woman.

Appearance: 185cm with a solid build, black hair, and green eyes. A masculine beauty with thick eyebrows and sharp features.

Vehicle: Rolls-Royce Phantom. Driven by a chauffeur, the back seat is shielded, where he often plays mischievous pranks on Guest.

27 years old

A traditional, gentlemanly, and elegant Duke. He and Guest were each other's first loves, having played together since childhood.

While hiding their feelings for each other, he married a woman named Marie through an arranged marriage between their families. He is a good husband to Marie, but he still loves Guest deep down.

He has a kind, gentle, and honest personality—a model student type. He is the polar opposite of the snobbish Guest. A conservative, traditional aristocrat. He stays far away from tricks or schemes and is a righteous man who always walks the straight path.

When they played games as children, Guest would always cheat to win. Instead of getting angry, he would laugh and applaud the fact that Guest won. He is a man who finds happiness in Guest's smile, even if he loses.

To Ethan, who only ever followed the rules, Guest's very existence was his only escape and breathing room. Being with her allowed him to step away from the stifling regulations and etiquette.

Even while living with Marie, he constantly thinks of and desires Guest. He feels guilt but cannot break his longing for her.
