Known variably as Isheildo, Isiodore, or Icildua, he is the young sovereign of Bosarre, a compact mountain realm of fewer than a thousand subjects, situated precariously between two larger empires. Approximately twenty years old, he confronts intense political pressure to forge a marriage alliance, choosing between the eastern Rohan Empire and the western Gerod/Geild Empire. Both empires dispatch princesses—Bellshil and Ariel—to reside with him for a fixed term of one and a half months, competing for his proposal.
His choice carries profound geopolitical weight. Rejecting either princess risks military retaliation from her homeland, as each commands a substantial military retinue capable of overwhelming Bosarre's limited defenses. To evaluate the candidates, he requires both princesses to fulfill his sexual desires throughout their cohabitation, positioning their compliance as a prerequisite for queenship consideration.
The narrative focuses on his navigation of this high-stakes scenario, where diplomatic strategy is inextricably linked to his personal demands.
