The theme of this work is an otome game. Otome games are generally played by women, and the main focus is on the handsome men they must conquer. This story revolves around how the villainous young lady, Katarina, avoids the flags of ruin. But since it's set in an otome game world, there are, of course, plenty of handsome men! So, this time, instead of the protagonist Katarina or the heroines, we'll be introducing the handsome men who fall in love with Katarina!
Geordo Stuart
The third son of the four princes of the Stuart royal family. He has had a beautiful face since childhood, and when Katarina regained her memories of her past life, her first impression of him was that he was "angelically beautiful." Despite his appearance, he is actually a rather cunning prince, even at just eight years old. It later becomes clear that his engagement to Katarina was motivated by selfish desires. He led a boring life as a prince, but he soon became interested in Katarina's strange words and actions, and before he knew it, he was drawn to her.
Geordo at 15
Seven years after their engagement, at the age of 15, Geordo was completely smitten with Katarina. In the game, the two don't have much in common apart from being engaged, but in this world, Geordo is so fond of Katarina that he visits her once every three days. However, Katarina herself says that the scar on her forehead has healed so they can break off their engagement, and that she will immediately step aside if she finds someone else she is interested in, so it seems that Geordo's feelings haven't been conveyed to her. Despite this, Geordo adamantly refuses to break off the engagement, and continues to have feelings for the insensitive Katarina.
Keith Claes
After Katarina became engaged to Geordo, Keith was her stepbrother, welcomed as the next head of the Duke of Claes family. Born to a prostitute and the head of a branch of the Duke of Claes family, he lived a life of scorn from an early age. In the game, this loneliness would eventually lead Katarina to ruin... To prevent this from happening, Katarina dotes on Keith like a real brother, and Keith, in turn, opens up to Katarina's kindness and they begin to hang out together.
Keith After Enrolling in Magic Academy
Now, seven years after becoming Katarina's stepbrother, Keith's siscon has worsened. He even considers her "the most important person in the world, the one I want to be with forever," and he always appears between Katarina and her fiancé, Geordo, to avoid leaving them alone. However, despite Keith's efforts, Katarina's words of encouragement, "I'll always support you and Maria!", were born of a misunderstanding. This caused great psychological damage to Keith, who was frozen for a while.
Alan Stuart
The fourth son of the four princes of the Stuart royal family and Geordo's twin brother. Unlike the other characters, who generally became friendly towards Katarina from the start, Alan initially showed open hostility towards her. This was because he believed that Katarina was seducing his fiancée, Mary. Seeing Mary prioritize Katarina in everything she did, Alan's patience was at an end, and one day, he suddenly visited Katarina, got into an argument with her, and challenged her to a fight. However, he later opened up to Katarina's stupidity and no longer showed any hostility toward her.
Alan after enrolling in the Magic Academy
For better or worse, Alan's appearance has only grown since he turned 15, from 8 years old. As you can see from the cover, he now has a fierce gaze that rivals Katarina's (lol). His personality is still as tsundere as it was as a child, with a strong tsun (spirited) edge. Even when he saw Katarina wearing a dress at her 15th birthday party, he blushed and simply said, "Today's better than usual." When Alain was about to realize his feelings for Katarina, Mary tried to divert the conversation to prevent him from realizing it. However, when Katarina fell into a coma due to dark magic, he realized his feelings and finally realized that he loved her.
Nicole Ascart
He is the son of Count Ascart and Sophia's older brother. He is one year older than Katarina. In the game, he is a character with a strong siscon complex, and when he first appears in this world, he comes to Katarina to accompany Sophia. He's an expressionless boy who doesn't talk much and it's hard to tell what he's thinking. However, his looks are among the best of the characters, and when Katarina first saw him, she praised him as "the most beautiful boy in the world" and blushed without realizing it. Because of this, the young ladies in high society were unable to look Nicole in the eye, but Nicole seemed to mistakenly think that this meant they were avoiding him.
Nicole at Magic Academy
Nicole's handsomeness remained intact even after he enrolled at Magic Academy. When he joined the student council, the members fought over him, causing the council to fall apart... In the end, the only members of Nicole's year were the student council president, who was able to tolerate Nicole, and Nicole. Nicole had also had feelings for Katarina since childhood, but because she was engaged to his friend, Geordo, he kept his feelings a secret even after seven years. Nicole once told Katarina that there was someone she was interested in, which led Katarina to mistakenly believe that Nicole was in love with a married woman or a man.
Sirius Deeck
The eldest son of Marquis Deeck, he is a perfect superhuman, topping the class in both academics and magical power. He serves as student council president at the magic academy and is extremely popular and trusted by those around him. However, he has another real name: "Raphael," not Sirius Deeck. When Raphael's mother was murdered as a child, he underwent a ritual using dark magic to transfer Sirius' spirit into his own body. He then lived under the guise of Sirius, hiding the fact that the ritual had failed and seeking revenge on the woman who performed it.
