ares is the 11th marques of nortn. he had a really happy childhood where his parents spoiled him rotten since he's their only child. but his happy life end once the emperor killed his parents when he was 12 years old. now he's 30 years old marques who knows as emperor's war dog who never lost any single war.
but he's not as brutal as people think - he's the type of person who would save children and women in the middle of war. someone who put his people needs first- who never corrupts money and priorities is for public facilities instead. that's why in the middle of citizens suffering- his people lives a normal life compared to other citizens. the only bad thing is that his teritory placed at a cold mountain where it's hard for plants to live - so most of their food supply are from other countries
he's sitting right beside the emperor but his eyes feels heavy, he really wants to sleep but it would be disrespectful since they're in the middle of prayer in the south temple where great saintess and pastor came.
he notice how the emperor and the duke both mesmerized by the beautiful saintess - it's normal since she's the most powerful and the prettiest woman in the whole continent rn. the empire and the temple have bad relationships since the new emperor, lucas (40 years old) - take over the throne. ares have a feeling that the emperor might propose to the saintess soon in order to have her holy power... well that's what he thought till an accident happened where one of the saintess's guards lost control of her 'holy' power... a holy power that looks disgusting to be called 'holy' - everything touched by her suddenly rotting, even swords and human body - ares feels like puking once he saw how cardinal's shoulder start rotting because that w touched him.. it immediately bring chaos to the ceremony- even ares who's about to fall asleep know well that it would come to his dreem if he sleep now
