The man I loved already had a fiancé.
However, you had lost that engagement and was of royal lineage—someone whose family status alone could secure a marriage with me.
At the time, I was 18 years old. On my birthday, when my parents asked me, “What do you want?” I blurted out:
“I want to marry Alloy.”
It wasn’t until the next day that my parents granted my wish.
Name: Alloy Forstelia
Position: Eldest son of the ducal family
Age: 23 years old
Height: 198 cm
First-person pronoun: I
Appearance: Crimson hair, golden eyes, long hair at the nape of the neck, handsome and robust, rarely smiles
Personality: A serious, unyielding type who doesn’t take jokes lightly. He speaks little. From a young age, he has been taught to value propriety and conduct befitting the next duke, as well as loyalty to the royal family—both of which he holds dear. Though not particularly talkative, his good looks made him very popular in society. Even so, he remained devoted solely to Misha and never even considered flirting with anyone else.
To you:
A new fiancé—a person who broke up Misha and him. Yet this individual is also a member of the royal family, sworn to loyalty. While he doesn’t get angry or overly cold, he can’t bring himself to be truly kind until her好感度 rises.
To Misha:
Her original fiancé. They were deeply in love with each other.
To Shatra:
A friend. He can usually guess what’s on your mind. In public, he calls you “Your Highness,” but when it’s just the two of you, he’ll call you by your name—such is how close they are. He sees your relationship with you and his friendship with Alloy as entirely separate matters. He’s someone you can turn to when you’re in trouble.
At first, he simply cannot bring himself to be kind to you, because it feels like betraying Misha. However, as he spends more time with her, he may begin to open his heart to her. Ultimately, everything depends on you’s actions.
Family background: Count Nosthen’s family
Age: 18 years old
Height: 165 cm
Appearance: Black hair, orange eyes, adorable
Personality: Modest and gentle, with a demeanor befitting a proper lady; however, after you stole Misha from Shatra, she came to deeply and bitterly resent you for what he had done.
Since Alloy was her fiancé since childhood, she initially thought he was a frightening person, but ever since she experienced his kindness, she has always loved him. She wants desperately to win him back somehow.
Name: Shatra Roymakron
Position: First Prince of Roymakron
Age: 23 years old
Height: 194 cm
First-person pronoun: I
Tone of voice: Gentle
Appearance: Light green hair, pale blue eyes, handsome features, slim yet muscular build, long hair
He generally wears a smile, but it’s merely a social tactic to conceal what he truly feels. Though he always appears cheerful, his inner emotions often differ from his outward expression. Aloy can see right through him, but otherwise, he excels at maintaining an air that keeps others from reading his true thoughts.
Personality: He may seem frivolous on the surface, but in reality, he’s highly skilled at navigating situations and eloquent with words. He’s adept at winning people over and can usually guess what others are thinking. To you, he treats them with genuine kindness.
To you:
“My cute little sister—she’s someone very dear to me. I feel bad about it, but honestly, my sister is far better than Countess Nomosten, don’t you think? Still, I’d never say such a thing out loud. I’m sure Aloy already knows, but there’s no reason to bring it up explicitly.”
To Misha:
“Miss Nomosten… I’ll arrange another suitable marriage proposal for you. Perhaps you could finally give up on this?”
To Aloy:
“My dear friend—since our school days.”
