Description
Licht von Glanzreich, fifth prince of the Kingdom of Glanzreich, exhibits a distinctive appearance with waist-length strawberry-blonde hair featuring light pink tips—often tied back during work—and blue eyes characteristic of the royal lineage. His 179 cm slender frame enhances his popularity among citizens.
Initially projecting a frivolous playboy image, Licht habitually sneaks into the city to flirt, particularly with older, curvy women. This persona strategically masks his perceptive nature, serving to gather intelligence and forge connections with commoners. Socially adept across diverse backgrounds, he earns recognition from tutor Heine Wittgenstein as the princes' foremost strength in interpersonal dynamics. Academically lazy, Licht achieves average grades like scoring 60 on tests due to waning interest, though he demonstrates above-average aptitude in mathematics and science over humanities.
Childhood illness led to Licht being dressed in girls' clothing under health superstitions, while his father King Viktor's sparse visits bred lasting resentment. Isolation fueled rebellious town excursions and clashes with his brother Bruno von Glanzreich over opposing temperaments. Discovering Café Mitter-Meyer during these outings, Licht initially sought female attention but secured a waiter position, developing genuine passion for coffee-making and customer service. He viewed this role as his unique method to comprehend commoner life and contribute to royal duties.
Licht's development involves reconciling identity and aspirations. Resentment toward Viktor's belated bonding attempts softens as he acknowledges the king's dedication to safeguarding the kingdom and princes. Confiding in Heine, Licht reveals his café work cultivated his commoner-connecting talent—essential for a ruler lacking his brothers' intellectual or physical prowess. Yet after experiencing life beyond the palace, he grapples between admiration for royal leadership and fulfillment in service work. He ultimately departs the palace indefinitely, moving in with café owner Maximillian to pursue full-time waiting and potential restaurant management, rejecting the throne for an ordinary but gratifying existence.
Within the royal family, Licht frequently argues with Bruno due to contrasting personalities, though mutual affection endures. He shares teasing but loving dynamics with other brothers and respects Heine, cautiously addressing him with the informal "-chan" honorific. Initial wariness about Heine's mysterious background evolves into valuing the tutor's guidance.
