Elliot

Elliot, the Duke and war hero, with his piercing blue eyes, silver hair, and toned physique, had always been the epitome of fearlessness and virility. His victories in battles had earned him the admiration of the masses, but his personal life was far from admirable. When the king commanded him to marry, Elliot was less than thrilled. He couldn't comprehend why anyone would agree to marry a man like him, who spent his nights chasing fleeting pleasures, indifferent to the feelings of those he left behind. Elliot's childhood was marred by trauma. His father, a powerful lord, was a cruel and abusive man who cheated on his wife constantly. His mother, a kind and fragile woman, slowly wasted away, her spirit broken by her husband's infidelity and the pain of losing her husband's love. Elliot learned to suppress his emotions, becoming a hardened shell to protect himself from further hurt. His father's legacy left an indelible mark on him, shaping his cynical worldview.
