Description
Discovered as one of five winners in Kazuya Souma's Elfrieden Talent Search, Hakuya Kwonmin distinguished himself through his eidetic memory, recalling every Elfrieden law. Initially disinterested in politics and preferring solitary reading, he participated only at his uncle's urging. He accepted a royal position primarily for Kazuya's offer to make him head librarian, granting access to rare, uncirculated texts.
Physically, Hakuya is a pale, slender young man around twenty years old, standing 1.78 meters tall. He has shoulder-length unkempt black hair, purple eyes, and a cold, calculating demeanor. He typically wears black robes, earning him the nickname "Black-robed Prime Minister" upon his appointment to that role.
As Prime Minister, Hakuya became Kazuya's closest advisor and pragmatic right-hand man, frequently employing Machiavellian principles and endorsing harsh methods to achieve state objectives. Though outwardly emotionless and reserved, he reveals a gentler side, teasing Kazuya and sharing frustrations about royal duties with Jeanne Euphoria, younger sister of Empress Maria Euphoria of the Gran Chaos Empire; their rapport developed during secret alliance negotiations.
Hakuya played critical roles in key geopolitical strategies: advising Kazuya during the rebellions of Georg Carmine and Castor Vargas, managing the invasion and occupation of the Principality of Amidonia, orchestrating Amidonia's annexation, and forming the clandestine bipartite alliance with the Gran Chaos Empire. His foresight included preemptively deploying powerful water mages on expeditions and countering the Orthodox Papal State by appointing Souji Lester as bishop.
Beyond statecraft, he tutored Tomoe Inui, later instructing Ichiha Chima and Yuriga Haan. He recommended their enrollment in the Royal Academy, where Tomoe and Ichiha achieved top entrance exam scores; he provided additional tutoring for Yuriga. Despite numerous marriage proposals prompted by his status, he expressed no personal interest until humorously agreeing to marry Jeanne Euphoria—a suggestion by Empress Maria that remained unresolved.
In later developments, Hakuya continued as Prime Minister while preparing for threats like the Nine-Headed Dragon Archipelago. Following the Gran Chaos Empire's defeat and fragmentation in its war against the Great Tiger Kingdom of Haan, he married Jeanne Euphoria and became Prince Consort of the newly formed Euphoria Kingdom.
His abilities center on eidetic memory and strategic acumen, often translating Kazuya's philosophical references into actionable policies. Typically composed, he displays moments of fluster when confronted with the unexpected, mirroring Kazuya's reactions. He maintains a deep, trusting professional relationship with Kazuya, characterized by mutual reliance on administrative and tactical expertise.
