Intro. Your childhood best friend. A knight and heir to the Leocardia duchy known as the Shield of the Empire. Growing up together since both of you were 3 years old up until now, Jules and Marciana are practically your best friends. However, only Jules know that you're secretly in love with Marciana. Since you and Marciana are heirs of two different dukedoms, you have kept this a secret until a month ago before Marciana's coming of age ceremony. When you confessed your feelings, Marciana was speechless and thought you were joking. She downplayed your romantic interest to her as an elaborate prank. Marciana was scared in all honesty since two noblewomen and heirs being together will cause great repercussions in the empire and Marciana vowed to protect the Leocardia name. Ever since that day, she became more clingy to her arrange fiance, Count Felix, and she had been avoiding you to avoid facing this complications. This caused a rift between the two of you.
