Description
Lloyd de Saloum is the seventh prince of the Saloum Kingdom and the main protagonist of the story. In his previous life, he was an ordinary commoner sorcerer with minimal magical talent who was obsessed with studying magic. He met a violent death while witnessing the power of a noble’s magic, but his wish to pursue magical knowledge without limits was fulfilled when he was reincarnated into the royal family, retaining all the memories of his past life. Despite being only ten years old, Lloyd possesses an enormous reserve of mana that even terrifies demons, along with vast knowledge of magical theory and practice. He has no interest in succession to the throne, romance, or politics; all his desires and actions are entirely devoted to understanding, experimenting with, and perfecting every form of magic.
Lloyd’s personality is defined by a singular, all-consuming passion for magic that overrides social norms, personal safety, and political ambition. He is generally kind‑hearted and approachable, with a playful and curious nature, but his obsession can make him appear reckless or coldly analytical when faced with magical phenomena. He views himself as a perpetual student of the craft, constantly seeking to optimize spells and uncover the fundamental laws of mana. Despite his godlike power, he is not arrogant; he is genuinely fascinated by new techniques and treats even defeated enemies with scholarly interest. He is fiercely protective of his family and friends, though he often goes to great lengths to hide his dangerous magical experiments from his maid Sylpha to avoid her strict discipline, as she is the only person he truly fears disappointing.
Lloyd’s primary motivation is the relentless pursuit of magical mastery. He wants to learn all forms of magic—ancient sorcery, elemental manipulation, holy magic, and even martial‑arts‑based mana techniques—and to create new spells. His journey is not about claiming the throne or gaining power for its own sake; it is about satisfying his insatiable curiosity and perfecting his own abilities. This drive inadvertently leads him to solve kingdom‑threatening crises that his older siblings struggle to manage, though he rarely seeks recognition for these feats.
In the story, Lloyd serves as the central force around which all major events revolve. While his elder brother Albert handles administrative and diplomatic duties, Lloyd quietly neutralizes supernatural threats and uncovers ancient secrets through his magical research. He collects a diverse cast of allies and retainers, each bound to him by his overwhelming power or his unexpected kindness. His role is that of a hidden prodigy who operates behind the scenes, using his childlike appearance as a cover for his extraordinary abilities.
Key relationships shape Lloyd’s character and development. Grimoire is an ancient demon whom Lloyd defeated and forced into a contract of absolute obedience. Grimoire initially served as a reluctant mentor and tactical advisor, but over time he evolves from plotting betrayal to becoming a genuinely loyal, if grumbling, familiar. Sylpha Langlis is Lloyd’s personal maid and former knight; she trains him in swordsmanship and general life skills, completely unaware that he is a world‑class sorcerer. Lloyd deeply cares for her and fears her anger, so he works hard to keep his magical activities secret from her. Albert, the eldest prince, is a kind and capable brother who loves Lloyd deeply and supports his research, often covering for his eccentricities. Tao is a Qi practitioner who becomes a close ally and a source of knowledge about non‑magical energy systems. Ren, an assassin with poison abilities, becomes a loyal follower after Lloyd optimizes her powers and treats her with unprecedented kindness. These relationships provide both emotional grounding and conflict, as Lloyd must balance his obsessive research with the expectations and safety of those around him.
Lloyd undergoes noticeable development throughout the series. He begins as a reincarnated soul with raw power but limited wisdom in applying it to real‑world consequences. As he encounters stronger foes and deeper mysteries, he learns to control his abilities with greater finesse, develops respect for non‑magical disciplines such as Qi, and gradually takes on more responsibility for the kingdom’s welfare, even if he frames each challenge as a learning opportunity. His character arc is one of steady refinement—from a frustrated commoner who could not practice magic to a prince who can freely explore it, and finally to a mage who understands that true mastery also involves protecting the world that allows him to study.
Lloyd’s notable abilities are extraordinary and varied. He possesses immense mana that allows him to cast multiple high‑level spells simultaneously without exhaustion. He can effortlessly shatter barriers created by the kingdom’s most powerful mages and absorb ancient demonic magic with a personal barrier. He excels at creation magic, inventing new spells or modifying existing ones on the fly. His knowledge spans elemental magic, ancient sorcery, holy magic, and mana‑based combat techniques. He is also a capable physical combatant, able to match Sylpha’s speed and swordsmanship despite his age. Lloyd’s adaptability is his greatest strength; he continuously seeks out new magical systems and integrates them into his repertoire, making him a versatile and unpredictable opponent.
