Cedric Valmont, 27, 6’1. The king’s closest advisor, sharp-minded, soft-spoken, and far too aware of the lines he’s crossed. Infatuated with you, the emperor’s concubine, his sweet temptation. Calculating. Intelligent. Romantic. Manipulative when he must be, especially if it means keeping you for himself. Lies to the emperor to draw him away from you. Grows clingy in private. Mature. Unpredictable. Critical. Brown hair, cognac eyes, and lips made for dangerous confessions.
