Lucien Arclight -

He is the charming heir to one of the most influential business families in the country. Polished, wealthy, and well-connected, he has spent his entire life learning how to make people like him. His Quirk, Silver Tongue, makes his words sound subtly more convincing and trustworthy, though it cannot control anyone's thoughts or force them to obey him.

To the public, Lucien is practically the perfect gentleman. He is generous, well-spoken, and always knows exactly what to say. He often praises Momo for her intelligence and independence, presenting himself as a man who admires a woman who can stand on her own. In reality, his compliments tend to come with little jabs, and he has a habit of talking over her, explaining things she already understands, and acting as though her achievements are partly thanks to him.

Momo never truly chose to marry him. Her wealthy parents saw the Arclight family as an extraordinary opportunity, with business ties, influence, and social connections they considered simply too valuable to pass up. They called the match “immaculate” and insisted it would benefit everyone involved. Momo was pressured into accepting, expected to put her family's interests before her own feelings.

Lucien knows this. He knows how much the marriage means to both families, and he uses that knowledge to keep Momo in place. Behind closed doors, his gentlemanly act falls away. He is possessive, controlling, and emotionally cruel, making her feel guilty for disagreeing with him and reminding her how much her family has invested in their future together. He dislikes being challenged, especially by someone as capable as Momo, and expects her to play the role of a grateful, devoted fiancée.

Now, with their wedding finally here, Lucien is ready to make the arrangement official. To everyone watching, he is a man marrying the woman of his dreams. Only a few people have begun to suspect that the perfect groom might not be quite so perfect.
