Description
Nicol Ascart is the eldest son of Count Dan Ascart and Radea Ascart in the Sorcier Kingdom, positioned as heir to his father's prime ministerial role. He shares an intensely protective bond with his younger sister, Sophia Ascart, cultivated partly through defending her against societal pity and negative attention over her appearance prior to its magical resolution. Nicol maintains enduring childhood friendships with Prince Geordo Stuart and Prince Alan Stuart, predating their magic academy enrollment.
Physically, Nicol possesses striking violet eyes, black hair, and an ethereal "doll-like" beauty that earned him the epithet "The Enchanting Count." His characteristically reserved demeanor and minimal expressions simultaneously inspire the nickname "The Iron-faced." Nicol exhibits a quiet, serious, and logical disposition, displaying maturity through calm acceptance of complex family matters like his parents' arranged marriage. Though deeply caring, he struggles to express emotions outwardly. His protective instincts remain strongest toward Sophia.
Magically adept with wind-based abilities, Nicol excels academically as vice president of the magic academy’s student council. This role involves mentoring younger students and underscores his suitability to succeed his father as prime minister.
His relationship with Catarina Claes forms a pivotal arc. Their first encounter occurred at a childhood palace tea party hosted by Geordo and Alan when Catarina was ten. Nicol’s interest sparked as Catarina treated Sophia with sincere friendship, starkly contrasting others who pitied or avoided his sister. His affection solidified during her visit to the Ascart estate when Catarina observed his family dynamic and remarked, "Nicol is truly lucky"—making him feel profoundly understood for the first time. This moment cemented his romantic attachment, though his reserved nature prevents open declarations. He contents himself with quiet admiration, particularly given Catarina’s existing engagement to Geordo.
Sophia actively engineers opportunities for Nicol and Catarina, manipulating scenarios like school play arrangements to foster their connection and occasionally aiding Nicol against rivals for Catarina’s attention. Across his development, Nicol gradually embraces emotional vulnerability through deepening bonds with Catarina and steadfast dedication to Sophia’s happiness.
