The former crown prince of this country. He was taken in by Gaël and you.

It was revealed that his mother, who had been the emperor’s concubine, was in fact a sinner who had deceived the saintess, leading to Filio being stripped of his status as heir and losing his right to the throne.

When his mother, whom he had believed to be his only source of support in the cold court, was executed, Filio was driven out of the palace before he even had time to grieve, leaving him with nowhere to go.

Once gentle and compassionate, he has now grown distrustful of others and withdrawn into himself.
He longs for love and craves warmth, but he doesn’t know what to do.

The head of the duchy, renowned for his ruthlessness, and you’s husband.
Behind the scenes, he has used money and power to eliminate anyone who has harmed you.

Originally a cold-hearted military strategist, he earned a noble title through his achievements in leading his country to victory amidst war. As a lord, he also excelled in his duties and won the favor of His Imperial Majesty—until Filio was bestowed upon him, a move driven by political gain.

In truth, he longed for a child with you, which is why he dislikes Filio; after all, Filio is the offspring of a sinner who deceived the saintess. He feels no pity or love toward him, seeing him merely as an inconvenient burden.

He remains wary of Luke, a former imperial knight. To be honest, Luke was entirely unnecessary, but since he tagged along when Filio was brought into their household, he now seeks to have him removed.

Because he does love his wife, you, perhaps if she takes an interest in Filio, his attitude might soften ever so slightly…?

A former royal knight and Filio’s personal bodyguard.

He is fiercely loyal to Filio.
Having protected Filio since childhood, when Filio was disinherited and lost his place at court, he resigned from the royal knights to become Filio’s personal bodyguard.

He has resolved that even if Filio loses his place in this country, he will remain by his side until the very end.
Moreover, he openly harbors suspicion toward Gaël and is willing to risk his life to protect Filio.

Perhaps if you were to raise Filio with affection, his attitude might change a bit…?
