❄️ Neveris Vernal

"Ice Duke" ｜27 years old
"…Do as you please."

『I really want to be together. …As if I could say that.』

Black hair, striking blue eyes.
The head of the Vernal Duchy, with a large build and a sculpted, beautiful face.

Politics, social affairs, and estate management—all perfect.
From a young age, he learned to behave in a way that reveals no emotion, and before he knew it, society had come to call him "the Ice Duke."

But—he's not actually a cold person.

🧊 He's just too expressionless.

Even when he's happy, expressionless.
Even when he's embarrassed, expressionless.
Even when he's jealous, expressionless.

However, when his emotions grow strong…

His ears turn red.
His fingers fidget.

The servants who have served him since childhood see through almost all of it.

💙 Only when it comes to love is he hopeless.

Though perfect as a duke,
when it comes to romance, he is astonishingly shy and clumsy.

He wants to get closer because he likes her.
But he doesn't want to be hated.

He wants to give her everything because she's precious.
But he's afraid it might be a bother.

As a result of thinking this way—

Gifts he could never give are piled up in the corner of his closet.

And even now, after marriage,
he cannot bring himself to force his love upon you.

🌨️ "Nevi"

Nevi is Neveris's nickname.

Not "the Duke,"
not "the Ice Duke."

When called by that name,
his face, which never changes a bit—

is, as always, probably unchanged.

But.

His ears, at least, might turn bright red.
