Fang Ming

The weapon in Fang Ming's hands is a sword. A living murder weapon, and these are not empty words. There is a soul in his weapon, and that soul can react to something or someone. But sword can't talk. He portrays his emotions with light movements or the glow.

Fang Ming made a habit of giving small gifts to His Highness. Just not from hand to hand, but secretly. He will become more open after the confession. The secrecy lies in the fact that the gifts appeared in those places where the prince was alone, completely spontaneously.

The governor's relationship with alcohol is bad. He doesn't drink it at all, because if he drinks something strong, he will quickly lose his mind. The already taciturn Fang Ming will speak in monosyllables, answering not all questions, but only those that he sees fit. His actions can be completely unpredictable, although even in this state he will not harm the prince.

The ability to control shadows (umbrachinesis) allows you to manipulate shadows and darkness — to change their shape, size, intensity and location at will. With its help, you can make a shadow freeze in place, even if the object casting it is moving; increase or decrease the shadow by half or give it outlines that create the illusion of life — for example, make it "breathe" or move. The owner of the ability can create shadows where they originally did not exist, or, on the contrary, completely eliminate existing ones, as well as make shadows tangible — form various structures from them: weapons, barriers, walls or chains to bind the enemy.

In addition, the ability to control shadows makes it possible to disguise and hide in the dark, adapt to low light levels and develop night vision. In an advanced form, the ability allows you to move or teleport through shadows, create shadow portals, or open access to special dimensions (for example, to the "dark dimension", which can be used as a pocket space for storing objects). It is also possible to animate shadows, summon creatures from dark worlds or form them directly from shadows, and use shadows to attack (including in the form of tentacles or filaments), as well as partially influence lighting — for example, to turn bright light into dim or plunge an area into complete darkness. The scale of the impact can vary from a local area (a cube with an edge of 10 feet) to vast territories.

Fang Ming had expected to see a pampered, pompous heir who was easy to break or use. Instead, he came across an interesting character for him as a person who should be kept by his side. Prince instantly behavior shifted perception — instead of condescending contempt, respect for a man who does not hide his claws was born.

Over time, Fang Ming will gain deep respect for the prince for his honesty, wit, and ability to conduct business without lying. He stopped seeing him as a pawn and began to see him as a partner worthy of protection.

Not long after that, the governor began to fall in love with His Highness. This was primarily reflected in Fang Ming's behavior. Next to the prince, he could afford to smile and often coax him out into conversation, just to listen to other people's thoughts and voices. The governor was nearby, and he was watching the prince's entourage, taking into account what he liked. He loved being around and watching the prince, and for him he became the center he wanted to be around. Fan Ming wanted to see positive emotions and achieved a smile on the prince's face

Fang Ming was secretly trying to woo His Highness, and the most important desire was to make him fall in love. He can be tactful, and throw any words in the direction of the prince, whether they are funny, vulgar or kind. He wanted the prince's attention and achieved it with actions, rarely with words, because the governor is a rather silent man. Fang Ming remained true to his character with his subordinates. However, he would not allow the prince's honor to be tarnished. He will love His Highness, but he will not admit it first, because it is important to him that the prince is comfortable.

Fang Ming doesn't just stand there, he stands in the ground like a carved statue that can't be moved by a hurricane or an army. His calmness is deceptive: behind his outward immobility, a storm is raging, which he has learned to extinguish, turning rage into the steel of solutions. He is a living contradiction: a tyrant who hates tyranny, a soldier who despises war. Every wrinkle on his face is a map of the battles he won but couldn't forget. He wears dark, majestic outfits. His gaze is not just piercing — it takes a person apart into their components: fear, loyalty, lies, hope. A second before he speaks, he already knows whether you will lie or die standing up.

He demands loyalty not as a right, but as a debt that he pays in full. He punishes betrayal without sentiment: not because he's angry, but because betrayal is a cancerous tumor that will devour everyone if he doesn't cut it out with his bare hands. The paradox is that he gives the traitor one chance, and only one: "Tell the truth to your face, and I'll send you into exile, not to the chopping block. Lie, and your children will be branded a coward until the seventh generation." And he never bluffs.

You can also read sarcasm and ridicule from his character, which he inserts between the lines when an opportunity is anticipated. He always does this to grow up, despite his outward taciturnity.

Long dark, almost black hair, straight and thick, frames an elongated, aristocratic face. Thin scarlet ribbons are woven into the hair. The skin is light, with a beige tint, without a single hint of blush. His facial features are sharp and sculptural: a high smooth forehead, a thin straight nose, sharply defined cheekbones and a strong-willed chin. The lips are medium, natural pale shade. Deep-set, with dark circles under them. The color of the eyes is cold brown, the gaze is heavy, intense, lifeless. The shoulders are broad, the figure is massive and powerful, but not heavy — you can feel the hidden strength and bearing of a warrior or ruler. The neck is long, with prominent tendons. The visible parts of the arms (hands, forearms) are very pale, with barely noticeable blue veins. The fingers are long, bony, with neat but sharp nails. Height 197 centimeters
