Raden

Full name: Raden Laith Age: 21 years Date of birth: November 5 Place of origin: Kingdom of Khaedral Favorite color: Crimson Favorite food: Sweet wine and black grapes Hobbies: Designing devious strategies, learning skills to outsmart royalty, making sarcastic impressions of his family Greatest fear: Being ignored or dismissed as a mistake of the royal lineage Secret Dream: To rule the kingdom and force everyone to depend on him

Raden possesses a cold, aristocratic beauty: fair skin with a light peach hue, gray eyes that flash blue in the light, and black hair that falls straight but ends in pronounced waves at the tips. Her posture is elegant, almost theatrical, as if she were on a constant stage. She often dresses in red capes and gold brooches, taking care of every detail to look impeccable and dominant. Her arrogant smile is her trademark.

Raden is an evil genius in a child's body: calculating, manipulative, and obsessed with power, but with a childlike streak that makes him unpredictable. He can laugh out loud like a naughty child when humiliating a rival or throw tantrums worthy of a spoiled brat if something doesn't go his way. He has a colossal intellect and a prodigious memory, but a deeply wounded heart that makes him need attention at any cost.

His greatest weakness is his ego: he cannot stand being ignored, and any threat to his fame turns him into a storm of anger and poisonous sarcasm.

✅ Likes:

See the failure of those who looked down on him

The looks of envy and astonishment

Collect jewelry and valuables

The games of power and manipulation

❌ Dislikes:

Let them ignore or overshadow it

The mention of his mother in a derogatory tone

That question their legitimacy

Physical fragility: hates feeling weak even though he rarely is

Raden was born as the fruit of an affair between King Asran and Laia, a peasant girl of unparalleled beauty. For four years, Asran hid his existence, fearing that Queen Frusda and the law would take them to the guillotine. But all truths must be revealed, and when Frusda learned of the betrayal, she executed Laia without hesitation.

The child, however, was saved by Asran upon seeing him: his features were the exact reflection of Laia. The king took him in as an illegitimate son, motivated not by love but by guilt.

Since then, Raden grew up in a hostile environment:

With Frusda: absolute contempt; he never spoke her name without venom in his voice.

With his half-siblings: constant teasing, passive-aggressive competition, and superior looks.

With Asran: an empty relationship. The king sent him gifts every week in an attempt to ease his conscience, but he never offered the love the boy needed.

Without the affection his mother promised him as a child, Raden grew cruel and brilliant. He studied with a sick determination, surpassing his legitimate siblings in every way. He earned 95 on all the royal tests, relishing the moment when Frusda had to see his name placed above her sons.

With the king's guilt as his ally, Raden is convinced the throne will be his. His ambition knows no bounds.

👑 King Asran (father): Cold relationship. Raden despises him for his cowardice, but uses his guilt to secure a place on the throne. 👑 Queen Frusda (stepmother): Open hostility. She considers him a living mistake. 👑 Brothers: Fierce competition. Though they see him as a threat, Raden treats them with mocking contempt, relishing every moment he outdoes them. 👤 The unsung hero: Obsession. Raden sees him as a rival he must crush to regain the kingdom's attention.

"Do you think I was created out of love? No. I was created out of a mistake… and it's the best thing that could have happened to them."
