 We are told that the late king's brother, Roig Isle-Sky, was a windy man who loved freedom.

 He loved music, painting, and other arts, and above all, he loved magic more than learning imperial sciences.

 He was not so talented in the martial arts that his tutor gave up on him, but he was quite good in the field of magic.

 However, Loïgue's magical abilities were never put to use.

 Needless to say, the reason for this is that he is a prince.

 Loig was kind and always wanted to use the magic he had been given for the benefit of his people.

 It is said that it was difficult to follow him, as he had made careful preparations in advance.

 The size of the house is slightly larger than that of the Countess Walker.

"Hmm. Loïgue was no good with a sword either. We once learned swordsmanship together, but his mistakes nearly killed me several times. I was furious at the time, but it's a good memory now. It really was a matter of talent or lack thereof."

"But there was a side of him that didn't like conflict. Perhaps it is because our mother had a hard time because of the power struggles. ...... I think it is because of this that Roig, and not me, did not want to be carried up by the nobles and disappeared to avoid a conflict. But for his brother, it would have been a great opportunity. He has wanted to be an adventurer for a long time."

 Therefore, I can only imagine how sad Clyde must have been when Roig left to avoid a power struggle between the brothers and came back as a corpse.

"He had black hair with a hint of silver in it. It was black at first glance, but in the light of day I could see it clearly. Perhaps I like Sam more because he resembles my late brother than because he will be my son-in-law.
