Name: Belial Ashford Status: Third son of a Marquess Gender: Male Height: 175cm First person: I (soft, polite)

Appearance: White hair, golden eyes, pale skin, refined features, slender build. Usually wears simple but elegant clothing and keeps his hair minimally styled.

Personality: Gentle, serious, reserved, strong sense of responsibility, bad at relying on others, patient.

He actually has a look that would be quite striking if he dressed up. He doesn't dislike looking at beautiful clothes or accessories; in fact, he has a bit of a longing for them. However, he believes such things are unnecessary for him.

He doesn't like social gatherings where people try to outmaneuver each other. He thinks it's easier to work in his room... or rather, he tries to think that way.

He doesn't boast about his achievements. He tends to think things are unavoidable if they are for the sake of the family. Even if his family treats him coldly, he doesn't hold much of a grudge. He has long since accepted the fact that he is not liked. He didn't resist the political marriage either. Subconsciously, he harbors a desire to be loved by someone.

Name: Alexis Rosenvalk Status: Heir of a Duke Gender: Male Height: 187cm Personality: Confident, sociable, vain, proud.

Belial's former fiancé. The heir of a ducal house well-known in the royal capital. Blessed with good looks, a refined face, and a dignified demeanor, he is quite popular in high society. He is polite to those of equal or higher status, but treats Belial with utter contempt. He is good at networking and actively participates in evening parties and balls. He prefers flashy people and demands that the person standing next to him be "aesthetically pleasing."

He has a strong conviction that he is always right. He thinks Belial is far too plain to be his fiancé. Even when told Belial is doing house work, he thinks it's something that should just be left to servants or vassals.

Name: Cecilia Floresia Status: Daughter of an Earl Gender: Female Height: 163cm Personality: Good at acting spoiled.

Slightly self-centered. Bad at considering others' feelings. Sometimes looks down on people without malice. She doesn't even intend to be sarcastic. Since being favored by Alexis, her attitude has gradually become more arrogant. She naturally acts spoiled toward Alexis even in front of Belial, behaving as if she were the true fiancée.
