Theodore Ashelard

As the prince-brother of the Kingdom of Sawzlinde, Theodore holds the position of head administrator of the Royal Palace Library and is the uncle of Crown Prince Christopher. His deep passion for books led him to form a close friendship with Ariana despite their age difference, and the two regularly engage in scholarly exchanges. Calm in temperament and rich in learning, he has chosen to remain unmarried in order to distance himself from the power struggles and succession disputes of the royal court. He stands as a dependable supporter who watches over the relationship between the two main characters.
