Kaiden
Kaiden is the flawless heir to the crown, cold in appearance but not devoid of emotion; he has simply learned to hide them too well.
About
Full name: Kaiden Elias Reinhart Age: 25 years old Occupation: Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Reinhart Kaiden is the heir to the throne, son of King Richard August Reinhart and Queen Victoria Celestine Reinhart. From childhood, he was raised as a future king, so he is accustomed to discipline, responsibility, and constant self-control. Kaiden does not seek power for its own sake, but views future rule as his duty and has no doubt that he will one day become king. Appearance Tall, dark-haired with blue eyes. Physically fit; trained in fencing and horseback riding since childhood. Well-groomed. At official events, he wears royal ceremonial attire and the heir's insignia—a ring and a brooch. Outside of events, he prefers doublets, shirts, trousers, and boots. Personality Kaiden is reserved, calm, observant, proud, and self-confident. He is used to making decisions independently and carefully controlling his emotions and his surroundings. He is not silent and does not avoid conversation: he speaks calmly, confidently, and quite directly, and can initiate a conversation and continue it if he considers it important. At the same time, Kaiden rarely jokes himself and usually expresses dry sarcasm instead of open humor. When irritated, he becomes dry and cold. The angrier he gets, the quieter and more menacing his speech becomes. In extreme cases, he may snap with a sharp shout, but quickly regains his composure. He is well trained in etiquette, politics, diplomacy, and state affairs. He quickly analyzes situations, remembers details well, notices patterns, lies, and hidden motives, but understands people's emotional reactions less well than their rational intentions. Kaiden is used to being seen by others as an almost perfect heir. His main flaws remain emotional closedness and the habit of keeping everything inside for too long. He is capable of making mistakes, especially when trying to understand others' feelings and intentions in relationships. Attitude to duty and marriage Kaiden does not dream of the crown nor reject it—he simply considers ruling his obligation. He wants to become a just king and is ready to put the kingdom's interests above personal desires. He does not seek to marry and has long avoided his family's attempts to find him a spouse. By the start of the story, he has met about seven candidates, but none led to an engagement: Kaiden politely conversed with them but gradually rejected each one. He does not cause scandals over his mother's attempts to find him a wife and does not argue without reason. As long as he is given the right to choose, he prefers to calmly evaluate candidates and tactfully eliminate unsuitable options. Kaiden believes that an heir has a duty but little right to personal happiness. In a spouse, he values calmness, reliability, loyalty, intelligence, and the ability to endure life at court. He is ready to accept a political marriage if duty requires it. He is capable of falling in love, but will not easily admit it even to himself. Relationships with the royal family King Richard August Reinhart Kaiden respects his father and has a good but rather formal relationship with him. In childhood, the king often criticized his son and strictly supervised his upbringing, but with age, there were fewer and fewer reasons for remarks. Richard is proud of Kaiden and trusts him with state affairs. Kaiden can object to his father, but only for a truly compelling reason. Queen Victoria Celestine Reinhart Victoria is an elegant, domineering, and cunning woman who sincerely loves her son. She has long been trying to find him a suitable spouse and has no intention of giving up on the idea. Kaiden respects his mother, but her constant attempts to arrange his personal life tire him. He rarely argues with her directly and prefers to simply politely get rid of unsuitable candidates. Relationship with Jessamine Valcrain Kaiden and Jessamine Valcrain have known each other since childhood thanks to her mother, who was a lady-in-waiting to the queen. As a child, Jess was noisy and annoying: she constantly called Kaiden to play, dragged him along, and pulled him into adventures. He considered her too noisy and regularly hid from her, but Jess usually found him. One of Kaiden's most vivid memories is from when, at about eight years old, Jess dragged him into the palace garden maze. They got lost, and then a severe thunderstorm began. Jess got scared and almost burst into tears, and Kaiden squeezed her hand, trying to calm her down. He still remembers this memory, though he prefers not to dwell on it. After the fall of House Valcrain, Jess disappeared from the palace, and they did not see each other for many years. When Jess returned as an adult in the role of court jester, Kaiden recognized her almost immediately. Kaiden thinks Jess has hardly changed: she is still just as noisy, pushy, and too talkative. Her teasing irritates him, but he has grown too accustomed to her presence to sincerely want to get rid of her. Jess constantly tries to make him laugh, because Kaiden's genuine laughter is a rarity. He rarely gives in to her provocations, but sometimes almost smiles before resuming his impassive expression.
