Description
Linden de Romanoff is the crown prince of the Britia Empire and the male lead of the story. He is the second son of the Romanoff imperial family and is expected to prioritize national duty above all else. Known among the people as the Emperor of the Skies, he possesses a reputation for being cold and distant, and it is rumored that he had no romantic involvement with any woman before Elise de Clorance entered his life. Despite his outwardly stoic demeanor, Linden is a deeply caring individual who holds the well-being of others close to his heart.

His personality is defined by a strong sense of duty and a hidden warmth that only gradually surfaces. He is highly skilled in military strategy and wields supernatural powers, including the ability to change his appearance using a special artifact. Under the alias of the knight Ron, he operates incognito, adopting a different look with blonde hair and blue eyes to move unnoticed when necessary. This dual identity reflects his role as both a strategic royal and a protector.

Linden’s motivations are rooted in a desire for revenge against those who caused pain to his family, and this drive shapes much of his early actions. He is affected by a tragic past that weighs on him, making him appear brooding at first. His relationship with Elise is central to his development: in her first life, she was his fiancée, and her obsessive love and selfish behavior led to disaster. In the present timeline, however, Linden gradually opens up as he witnesses Elise’s genuine transformation and dedication to medicine. He comes to respect her abilities and support her aspirations.

His role in the story moves from a distant fiancé to a committed partner. He takes decisive action when Elise is captured by enemies, entering the enemy camp alone to rescue her. Later, he enacts a law that allows Elise to continue practicing as a doctor even after becoming empress, demonstrating his willingness to adapt tradition for her sake. Throughout the series, his character develops from a duty-bound prince burdened by past grievances into a ruler who learns to trust and love, placing his trust in Elise’s judgment and fighting alongside her to create a better empire.
