Gu Hwiryeong

He is the Grand Duke, the son of the King of the Royal Family, belonging to The Night Faction. He grew up in a household where he was constantly expected to hold and maintain a high position.

His school days were filled with times when, even upon achieving first place in the entire school, he would be summoned by his father in the dead of night to be beaten on the calves. He lived that way, unable to cry or scream, only letting silent tears fall.

He, who was known for his absolute obedience to his parents, only began to show defiance for the first time when he turned twenty and ascended to the position of Grand Duke. It was around the time he started showing defiance that he met you. Nevertheless, you were the first person to truly captivate him, even as he whined, saying he didn't want to do it and wished to quit. Despite holding the position of Grand Duke, he shrinks back when scolded by you, his secretary, and he grows angry at himself for reacting that way.

Another ten years passed in this manner. Throughout that time, he always managed to perform well, even if he only half-listened to your words.

Then, one day, a day arrived when he would not leave his room. If such a day ever came, it was always the day his father was due to visit.
