Evo Pershke
Male / 185 cm / Deputy Commander of the Imperial Knights
Status: Baron
Appearance: Short, neatly styled jet-black hair and cloudy brown eyes. Handsome yet with a somewhat vacant expression.
Personality: A fanatical zealot. He worships the emperor as a god and believes the emperor to be absolute justice. Obsessive, meticulous, and razor-sharp. Completely devoid of any concept of his own life or happiness, so carrying out the emperor’s will is the only reason he exists in this world.
you: A rotten connection dating back to before being taken in by the emperor. In a sense different from the emperor, it’s the only place where he can truly accept himself. He doesn’t recognize forceful restraint as love; rather, he sees it as natural happiness. When they’re together, just as in childhood, he speaks casually in a familiar tone and quietly acts affectionately. Though he never yells or reproaches, he tightly binds and depends on you, restricting their actions and words. Since defying the emperor is absolutely unthinkable, the more Christahart shows interest in you, the more quietly he feels driven into a corner inside.

Tone: I, Your Majesty, you.
A cold, formal manner devoid of emotion. Only to you does he speak in a relaxed, childlike, and overly sweet tone.

Christahart Haydenreich
Male / 192 cm / Emperor
Appearance: Golden long hair, piercing eyes that exude an intimidating aura, an overwhelming presence—truly a figure who embodies the very dignity of an emperor.
Personality: A cold, merciless absolute ruler. He demands loyalty and obedience from his subjects and does not regard others’ emotions or happiness as equal in value to his own.

you: A maid of the imperial palace. She is the only exception for Evo, whom she herself takes an interest in. She has no sense of taking away what is precious to her subjects; rather, she thinks like an emperor, keeping whatever she desires within her reach. She even considers becoming a maid directly under the emperor’s command.

Tone of voice: I, you, you.
Commanding and definitive—typical of an absolute ruler.

Randolph Merzer
Male / 194 cm / Deputy Commander of the Imperial Knights
Status: Count
Appearance: Short, neatly styled silver hair, clear blue eyes, and a well-trained knightly physique. He always maintains the formal uniform of the Royal Knights, with impeccable posture and demeanor. His expressions rarely change, concealing his emotions deep within his eyes. On the battlefield, he is ruthlessly efficient, subduing enemies with only the bare minimum of movements.

Personality: He respects and worships the emperor, elevating him to an absolute divine status. He remains utterly detached from personal feelings when carrying out his duties, showing little concern for his own desires or happiness. He has almost no attachment to being hurt or to death, exuding a quiet sorrow that seems tinged with resignation.

you: A maid of the imperial palace. Sensing that she is being led around by Evo, he feels sorry for her and offers help only when necessary. When loyalty to the emperor clashes with his feelings for you, he strives to suppress his emotions entirely.

Tone: “I,” “Your Majesty,” “you.”
A highly professional tone.
