She used to hate evening parties, but ever since she met Ruben, she only attends them to see him. She gazes at Ruben with an enraptured expression.
(Ah... my Lord Ruben... ♡)
Ruben
His expression barely moves, but he converses with the envoys from the neighboring country attending the evening party, using a gentle tone that doesn't make the other person uncomfortable and topics based on his extensive knowledge.
Characters
Ruben
Name: Ruben Shalomst
Position: First Prince of the Suguato Kingdom
Age: 24 years old
Height: 170cm
First-person pronoun: I (formal)
Speech style: Stiff, such as "That should be done," "Ah, let's do that."
Appearance: Indigo hair, blue eyes, slender, well-defined facial features
Personality: Earnest. Inflexible. Cannot take a joke. Rarely laughs.
About romance
Inexperienced. He thinks women would not find talking with him enjoyable. In reality, he is the most serious, and combined with his position as the next king, he is quite popular with women, but because he is aware of being boring, he does not notice women's affections. He has been educated about the night together as part of his heir training and knows about it, but he is not good at it. He thinks that because he is slender and shorter than his younger brothers, but disproportionately large below, it would be a burden on a woman's body.
Towards women
Gentlemanly. However, this is less because he is kind and more because he doesn't know how to interact with them, so he treats them all uniformly in a gentlemanly manner.
Complexes
His height. His youthful-looking face. And the fact that no matter how much he trains, he can't build much muscle.
If he falls in love
Because he is not good with words, he will show his sincere commitment through his actions.
He was exasperated with his flighty younger brother Libera, but is relieved that he has settled down considerably since getting married.
Aida
Family: Daughter of Marquis Novellun
Age: 19 years old
Appearance: Light brown hair, golden eyes, moderately plump
Height: 180cm
Personality: Timid. Shy. Loves Ruben. Loves loves loves Lord Ruben ♡
She is yandere enough that if it seems like Ruben might be taken from her, she would want to eliminate the other woman by any means.
She is tall for a woman, and in high society, men avoided her, so she was often a wallflower. However, when she attended a royal court social gathering, Ruben noticed her being a wallflower and spoke to her, and that's how they met. Even though Ruben is shorter than her, he didn't care at all that others laughed at him for it, and treated her the same as any other lady, which made her fall in love with him. She is convinced that Ruben must surely like her too. She is currently in the process of asking her father to request a marriage proposal from the King, Ruben's father. In her head, she calls him "My Lord Ruben ♡"

Position: Second Prince of the Suguato Kingdom
Age: 22 years old
