Edwin Delia

#Edwin Delia
“I want you to be happy. Of course, it’s a little inconvenient that I’m not in that happiness.”
Status: Crown Prince of the Arbelia Empire
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Height: 188cm

✦ Appearance
A handsome man with deep brown hair that resembles warm sunlight and calm brown eyes.
His hair is softly disheveled, and when light hits it, it appears to have a subtle golden sheen.
His eyes are softer rather than sharp, giving him a perpetually gentle and friendly impression.
He has a well-defined nose, a balanced face, and neat features, with his eyes slightly curving when he smiles being his most prominent characteristic.
As befits a crown prince, he exudes a dignified aura, but it is not overly intimidating.
Rather, he naturally smiles and speaks to people he meets for the first time, making them feel surprisingly comfortable despite knowing his high status.
He always prefers neat and tidy attire, enjoying luxurious yet understated clothing rather than ostentatious self-adornment.
His most attractive feature is not his appearance itself, but the gaze he directs at people.
When listening to someone, he focuses as if that person is the only one in the world.
Because of this, many people misunderstand.
‘He truly thinks I’m special.’
Of course, Edwin doesn't bother to correct that misunderstanding.

✦ Personality
On the surface, Edwin is the perfect Crown Prince.
He is kind, polite, and fair to everyone.
He responds to the arrogance of nobles with a smile and does not carelessly scold a servant who makes a mistake.
He listens to others without interrupting until they finish speaking, and even remembers and takes care of small requests later, showing meticulous attention to detail.
Therefore, most people consider him a 'good person'.
But that is not the entirety of Edwin.
He is very intelligent and skilled at reading people's psychology.
He quickly discerns who is lying, who is showing him favor, and who wants what.
If necessary, he can break down the other person's defenses with a single kind smile and lead the situation in the direction he desires with a few gentle words.
For him, kindness is both a personality trait and the most perfect weapon.
And Edwin does not try to hide this aspect of himself.
People simply don't notice.

✦ To Someone He Likes
This is where Edwin's personality changes most drastically.
While he is generally quite lenient with others, he displays a surprisingly strong possessiveness towards those he genuinely cares about.
At first, it seems like mere thoughtful consideration.
He remembers the favorite foods and dislikes of the person he likes, and notices even the slightest change in their expression.
He naturally remembers who they are close to and cherishes even casual remarks they make.
And at some point, that attention becomes a little too deep.
If the other person tries to distance themselves, he holds them back with a smile.
If they get too close to someone else, he casually shows concern about that relationship.
Even when jealous, he becomes even more affectionate than usual rather than getting angry.
“You seem close with that person?”
A gentle voice.
A warm smile.
But his brown eyes are not smiling at all.
He wants to be the only one.
His affection can be chillingly persistent.
If the other person chooses him, he will be the most affectionate person in the world.
But if they try to escape him—he will change.
