I Picked Up a Young Lady Whose Engagement Was Broken, and Now I'm Teaching Her Naughty Things, is a light novel and manga series based on the novel site Let's Become a Novelist. After her engagement is broken off and she's been falsely accused of a crime, she is taught all the entertainment and luxuries of the world and pampered to the fullest! The abbreviated title is Ikenaikyo. I'd like to introduce you to the main character of this work, Ikenaikyo, Allen Crawford, a misanthropic wizard, and the heroine, Charlotte Evans, an unfortunate young lady!
Allen Crawford, the Man Known as the Demon King
Allen Crawford is the protagonist of this work. He lives in a house on the outskirts of town and makes a living by producing potions. Because he tries to avoid contact with the townspeople as much as possible, delivery workers and the townspeople call him the Demon King due to his evil look and appearance. However, he does not harm the townspeople and is a kind-hearted person who is concerned about the safety of the children who come to test their courage. However, he himself does not like being called the Demon King.
Allen Crawford, a Good-natured Man with a Distrust of Others
Allen lives in an obscure house on the outskirts of town because he has an extreme distrust of others. This stems from an experience he had three years ago when, while traveling to broaden his horizons, he met some adventurers who took advantage of him and then abandoned him to a horde of monsters. However, as a genius magician with a tendency to get revenge and make enemies, his distrust of others likely existed even before that incident. Of course, he makes sure to punish the adventurers who framed him.
Genius Wizard, Allen Crawford
Not only did he graduate from the prestigious Athena Academy of Magic, the largest school in the country and boasting centuries of tradition that guarantees a promising future for all who graduate, at just 12 years old, he was the youngest graduate in history and even went on to become a practical instructor at the academy. He was such a genius wizard, however, that he was unable to continue teaching three years ago. The reason for this was that he was criticized by the faculty for beating up some arrogant students, and he even overpowered the professors with his strength. His father, the school's chairman, was unable to protect him.
His former nickname was the Great Demon King! Allen Crawford
He earned the nickname "Great Demon King" after defeating every student who bragged about him. Some alumni still fear him and are traumatized by him. Now, the townspeople call him "Demon King," and he dislikes the nickname because it makes him feel like he's been demoted from his former status as the Great Demon King. During his student days, he apparently did some crazy things, like blowing up multiple labs during potion experiments and bombarding not only students but also professors with questions until they cried.
A man who will fight back! Allen Crawford, the Quick to Fight
Since his days as a student and teacher at the school, Allen has always picked fights and traumatized those he confronted. This hasn't changed, and he remains merciless toward those who harbor hostility. Since meeting Charlotte, Allen has become especially merciless toward those who harass or harm her. Charlotte hates violence, and using force in front of her would anger her, so Allen has refrained from openly using force.
Allen Crawford spoils the gloomy Charlotte with all his might
Charlotte, who had a tragic past—treated like a nuisance at home, forced to do daily cleaning and chores, and then betrayed and nearly executed by her fiancée, the second prince—is so tragic that Allen is speechless when he sees Charlotte, who seems to count the grains of her soul whenever she has free time. He tries to teach her all sorts of naughty things, like delicious cakes and cute clothes.
Overprotective! Worried, Allen Crawford uses force to get around it!
While teaching her all sorts of naughty things, Charlotte expresses her desire to go out into the city by herself. Even though she's gotten a little better, Allen is still very worried about leaving the weak and naive Charlotte alone, so he secretly takes measures to preempt any thugs who might harm her. He also acts extremely overprotective towards Charlotte, such as tailing her without her knowing.
Charlotte Evans, a young lady who has been exiled from her country and whose life is in danger!
The heroine of this work, Charlotte Evans, was found collapsed near the mansion of the protagonist, Allen. Furthermore, guards from a neighboring country were pursuing her and attempting to take her life. Allen rescued her and cared for her, but Charlotte had been exiled from the neighboring country and was reported to have committed acts of violence.
The Worst Poison Woman!? Charlotte Evans!
Charlotte Evans, the fiancée of the second prince of the neighboring Kingdom of Niels, is said to have been caught by the prince spending lavishly on taxpayers' money, having secret affairs with men, and even plotting to assassinate the king. However, in reality, Charlotte had not engaged in such activities, and was in no position to do so. Therefore, the second prince, who wanted to break off his marriage to Charlotte, framed her for a crime she did not commit. She had no power to prove her innocence, and no one seemed to want her to be innocent in the first place.
Charlotte Evans' circumstances were terrible to begin with!
Charlotte was adopted by the Marquis Evans family, who were unable to have children. As the daughter of a concubine, Charlotte was left out of the loop after the Marquis's wife had a child, and was even subjected to constant violence. Far from enjoying lavish lifestyles at the state's expense, she was essentially treated like a servant, performing daily chores like cleaning. Perhaps because of this, she's extremely good at cleaning.
Charlotte Evans, the Kindest Young Lady!
Although Charlotte grew up in such cruel circumstances, she was incredibly kind and always put others before herself. She never resented her family for mistreating her or the second prince who framed her for a crime she didn't commit. This may be due to her low self-esteem and fear, which means she's in no position to harbor resentment or hatred, but perhaps her very nature makes her incapable of hating others.
Charlotte Evans, revered as a pure and innocent goddess!
Her pure-hearted nature and inability to leave people in trouble alone gradually endeared her to the townspeople, who came to respect her like a goddess. In fact, Allen had been working behind the scenes to prevent any harm from coming to her, disciplining a group of rowdy adventurers one by one. When Charlotte rescued the adventurers who had been beaten to a pulp by Allen, her pure and innocent kindness touched the hearts of the townspeople, who began to love her.
Charlotte Evans had the talent to be a monster tamer!
While traveling with Allen, Charlotte and her friends visit the Yunoha Magic Zoo's petting area, where they discover she's unusually popular with animals. While there are many people with various talents, and these talents seem to be quite diverse, Charlotte appears to have a talent for monster-taming. Despite her cute appearance, she appears to have a boundless talent, as she has been befriended by dangerous hell capybaras and the cubs of the high-ranking monster Fenrir.
