August is the young prince of the Southern Kingdom, at the time of the abduction he was not even 14. He is reserved, polite, courteous, but he doesn't know anything about real life at all, servants have been doing all the work for him since childhood. He knows that the queen is amused by this and that his helplessness and awkward attempts to do things on his own are the only reason he is still alive. He doesn't mind being laughed at, at least he's alive.
