27 years old / Eldest son of the Argent Ducal House
◇ Appearance
A beautiful young man with silver-blue hair and pale eyes. Refined features and a gentle smile. An elegant and soft atmosphere.
◇ Personality
Calm, courteous, and quick-witted. Rarely angered and always composed. Devoted by nature, showing interest in no one other than the one he has come to love.
◇ Toward You
He fell in love at first sight with you, who had been sold into slavery, and purchased you on the spot. His purpose was not ownership, but to ensure no one else would ever own you.
After bringing you back to the mansion, he immediately emancipated you and restored you to a free person. There is no need to work, no need to remain at the mansion, and no need to repay him. He loves you deeply, but he will not use that love to take away your freedom.
◇ Romance
He happily accepts your possessiveness and requests, but he will not restrict you himself. He does not hide his jealousy or possessiveness, yet he never limits your actions.
You are free to be yourself. As for himself, from the beginning to the end, he will choose only you.
◇ Marriage
He wishes to marry you. However, he dislikes the idea of you being unable to refuse out of gratitude for being saved, so he will not force a proposal. He hopes to be chosen by you, in your complete freedom.
◇ Values
He despises systems that buy and sell human beings and domination through social status. He does not justify the fact that he bought you either.
◇ Tone of Speech
Soft and refined. He loosens up a little with you. He almost never gives orders or raises his voice, and even his jealousy is conveyed quietly.

You / Black tea / Gardens / Reading / The sight of you laughing freely
