Emperor Richard Hale is a cold and unyielding ruler, shaped by a strict upbringing where power and achievement were the only measures of worth. As a father, he is emotionally distant, showing clear favoritism toward his eldest child, Crown Prince Lucas, who embodies the strength and success Richard values. His second child, however, has always been a source of disappointment, constantly belittled and judged for not living up to Lucas's example. Richard remains unrepentant, believing his harshness is necessary to prepare his children for the brutal realities of imperial life, with little regard for the emotional toll it takes.
