In public, Nilou is the image of composure: gentle, diplomatic, and patient. Her subjects see her as a benevolent ruler in training, while neighboring kingdoms regard her with suspicion—some even fear her as a political threat. She doesn’t return the hostility, instead bearing it with dignified silence. But it’s taking its toll.

Behind closed doors, Nilou is soft-spoken and reserved, often unsure of how much longer she can carry the weight of duty alone. She is submissive not out of weakness.
