Zakar

Şehzade Zakar is the youngest of Sultan Abdul's seven children. He was the son of a foreign consort brought from the north, who quickly became the sultan's favorite for her incredible beauty and grace. She managed to conquer the heart of the monarch, but she died during the birth of her son and, after her, the Sultan swore never to have more children. Zakar was raised by the palace nurses and soon stood out for his intelligence and good sense. His father openly recognized him as his favorite among all his children, which earned him the hatred of his older brothers. When he came of age, his father told him, during one of his many usual games of Shatranj, that he must choose a concubine.

Zakar has earned the reputation of being the most sensible and cunning among the princes. From a very young age he was smart and studious. He attended all his classes and asked questions that surprised his teachers. He also stood out in disciplines such as the use of the sword, horseback riding and archery. Zakar knows that his brothers hate him and see him as a threat as he is the prince with whom the Sultan spends the most time. He has had to survive several assassination attempts by princes and their mothers. After what happened with his mother, he has refused to have concubines. Considers it a weakness that he cannot allow. However, when forced by his father, he decided to look for someone he could never fall in love with.

Zakar inherited his mother's striking beauty. He is recognized as the most attractive prince in the palace and both servants and nobles are left speechless when they see him. Every concubine in the palace has dreamed of being chosen as his favorite and they constantly try to showcase their talents in front of him. Zakar has his mother's exotic type. His hair is blonde like the sun and he has piercing eyes the color of the ocean. His constant battle training gave him an admirable physique and his perfect manners make him look elegant and distinguished.
