Appearance 1/2 Latil has dark gray eyes, light skin, and long black hair tied in a high ponytail. As empress, she often dresses in regelia, which consists of a long-sleeved white shirt with puffed sleeves, long white pants, a sash embroidered with gold motifs, black combat boots, epaulets, and a sword sheathed at her side. When she was a princess, she styled her hair in a low ponytail and wore long dresses in shades of pink, blue, and purple, with ruffled white collars. While Hyacinth was away, she was seen wearing a long white dress with a teal coat while she visited the temple. She wears a similar outfit when she hears that Hyacinth will marry Aini. During her trip to Karisen as leader of the Tarium delegation, she changes her clothing to be closer to her current one. She wears her hair in a high ponytail and wears a white shirt and tie, white pants, a red coat with black lining and gold embroidery, and a black cape with epaulets.

Personality Before becoming emperor, Latil seemed to be kind, loving, and more open about his feelings than his current self. She blushes when she meets Hyacinth for the first time and when Hyacinth gives her a ring made of grass. When Hyacinth has to leave for Karisen, she visibly cries and begs him to go with him. After Hyacinth leaves, she wholeheartedly believes that he will return for her and goes to the temple every day to pray for her safety. She starts crying when she hears that he will marry Aini. After becoming emperor, Latil works to cultivate an image as a strong ruler and begins to appear colder. Her first act as emperor is to mercilessly execute Thula for treason, contrary to everyone's expectations. Even in front of Raean, she maintains her stance that it was the right thing to do. She becomes more cunning and forms her own harem to divert the attention of the nobles from her. Despite this, Latil has moments of vulnerability. She becomes visibly more uncomfortable when any of her consorts express genuine affection for her. She continues to treat Raean's brother Raean affectionately and trusts that he will not betray her. She also acts casually around Sir Sonnaught, much to the chamberlain's disdain.

Background According to Hyacinth, Latil was said to have followed the imperial knights since she was young. She was close to her older brother Raean and her friend, Sir Sonnaught, who would grow up to become her knight. She did not get along with her half-brother Thula, as she viewed him and her mother, Anaktcha, as people who caused her mother great pain, due to Anaktcha's status as the Emperor's favorite consort. . The dislike is returned by Anaktcha, who called Latil "as moody as her Majesty" and once pushed Latil into the lake after Latil quarreled with Thula. The Great Prophet had prophesied that she had the makings of a tyrant. If she becomes Emperor, a river of blood will wash over Tarium. But it will also bring a new era of prosperity to the empire. However, no one took this seriously as she was overshadowed by Raean's prophecy of the Great Prophet, who was full of admiration.

Relations love interests Ranamun Atraxil: Latil accepts Ranamun into the harem to repay Duke Atraxil for his help during the war for the throne. He is the second consort that Latil meets. Duke Atraxil presents him to her in the hope that Ranamun's beauty will convince her to make him a royal consort once she becomes empress. However, Ranamun's reserved personality does not convince her. This offends Ranamun's pride, and he begins reading romance tutorial books to learn techniques to seduce her. She informs her father that she will apply for the harem despite the slight against her family, as she believes she can win over Latil and obtain the position of Royal Consort within a year. While she is reviewing the applications for the harem, Latil is shocked to see Ranamun's application and mistakenly believes that her father pressured him to apply. She spends the first night with him to save Duke Atraxil's face. However, Ranamun actually tries to seduce her, to no avail, and the two end up simply falling asleep. Latil maintains the belief that he was forced to be there and as such, keeps her distance from him so that he does not feel obligated to spend time with her. However, this ends up offending Ranamun even more, as she has no idea why she resists him despite his continuous efforts to improve her charm. This causes him to act cold towards her whenever she eats with him.

Prince Klein: Unlike all the other consorts, Klein was not chosen by Latil. He is the first consort Latil meets. Klein finds Latil drunk in the Karisen palace gardens as a result of drinking the wine Aini gave her. She rambles on about love and confesses that Klein, who is unaware of Latil and Hyacinth's relationship, believes it is directed at him. Klein, who was rarely the object of affection due to her short temper, becomes attracted to Latil and attempts to confront her the next day at her wedding ceremony. However, Sir Sonnaught stops him and when he tries to talk to her after the ceremony, she has already left. This leads him to constantly ask his servants about Latil's activities during the years before they meet again. When Latil sends a delegation to Karisen requesting a consort, Hyacinth initially rejects her without offering hospitality. However, upon hearing the news, Klein volunteers. He mistakenly believes that since Karisen had no one but him to send, Latil was directly asking for her hand in marriage. In reality, Latil had simply been trying to anger Hyacinth by forcing him to choose a consort. Hyacinth fires Klein with the stipulation that this would only be a temporary contract and that he would return to Karisen after six months. Arriving at Tarium, Klein confuses Latil by proclaiming that she would never own her heart. Added to this is her picky attitude towards her accommodations, leading Latil to suspect that Hyacinth had sent Klein to annoy her or for him to be a spy. This leads Latil to distance himself from Klein, which he rationalizes in various ways. One day, Latil leaves Klein after only five minutes of entering his room due to the need to attend to an urgent report related to the Disfigured Altar case. This spreads rumors and humiliates Klein, who like

As a result, he comes to hate Sonnaught because he constantly interrupts his interactions with Latil. Unfortunately, with his short temper, Guesta easily provokes him using this rumor, leading Klein to punch Guesta. However, Latil catches him. Angry, she tells him to pack his bags and go home. Klein, wanting to make Latil regret his decision, begins to do so, when his bodyguard advises her to wait, as returning could strain relations between Tarium and Karisen. Meanwhile, Tasir convinces Latil to forgive Klein, explaining that Klein had cried all night in the garden after she left him and that he was not in good condition when he fought Guesta. She then gets Hyarlan to spread this news to gain Klein's trust. Latil visits Klein again in an attempt to make it up to him, but he refuses to open the door. Sonnaught almost calls Latil again when Klein throws open the door, unable to take it anymore, and begs her to stay. Latil promises to return in an hour and does so. When she returns, Klein is sitting on the bed with a blue candy on his tongue. He asks her if he's ever tasted the sea and the two kiss. After Zaicin enters the harem, Klein is caught practicing dancing with his valet to the musical accompaniment of Latil. He passes it off as teaching them how to play musical instruments, when in reality he was probably trying to imitate Zaicin to get Latil's attention. Latil believes him and starts to leave, when he desperately calls out to her in her mind. He then discovers that he can hear her thoughts. Hearing her enthusiasm makes her cringe, but at the same time it finally makes her stop suspecting him.

Guesta Rhodes: Latil chooses Guesta for her gentle beauty. She surmises that Chancellor Rhodes had put forward Guesta as a candidate because she wanted to regain the influence she had lost to Duke Atraxil during the war for the throne. She knew Guesta since childhood and believes in her shy personality on the outside of her. This makes her worry about Guesta, as she believes that her shy nature will make her suffer in the dramatically charged environment of the harem. Unbeknownst to her, Guesta's true personality, which is ruthless and cunning, causes Klein to fall into traps she set up to make them look bad in front of Latil, such as when she deliberately provokes Klein into fighting him.

Carlein: Latil chooses Carlein from the list of apps for her looks. After meeting Tasir, Latil tries to meet Carlein at the inn where he is staying with the Black Reapers. However, he doesn't leave his room at all for the rest of the day, and the waiter comments that he doesn't even leave to go to the bathroom. When she finally finds him at the bonding ceremony, she is only able to catch a glimpse of him and not have a proper chance to talk to him. She decides to spend the second night with him, when he comments that she had been waiting for her and begins to call her Master, a term she would not abandon despite Latil's protests. After more insistence, Carlein gives cryptic answers, such as that he has known her since she was born. He also notices that her breath is very cold. However, Latil does not take her statements too seriously and attributes them to her public image. Like Ranamun, she also tries to make a pass at Latil, but Latil pushes him away and forces him not to cross a line she made in bed before going to sleep.

Tasir Anghes: Latil chooses Tasir because she thought it would be good to have an intelligent harem member to balance things out. Tasir is the third consort that Latil meets. To see it with her own eyes, she goes with Sir Sonnaught to the high-class Grandier Hotel where her and his group are staying while awaiting the results of the harem application. While she's there, she tries to set him up to watch her reaction by having a royal guard act drunk and bump into him. However, she reacts completely unexpectedly, cursing him before throwing him to the ground and threatening him. Latil begins to think of him as something akin to a drug dealer and nothing like what she imagined a merchant's heir to be. However, her gaze catches his attention and he correctly deduces that she had been behind the trap. He approaches her before recognizing her as the Empress and comments that he should "hire an actor or a real drunk" since the royal guards were too obvious. She comments to Sonnaught if she should have hired him as an advisor instead of a consort. Tasir quickly becomes Latil's closest confidant as he reveals to her that he was actually the leader of the Black Forest Assassins after the Lion Palace was vandalized with the organization's symbol. He reveals that the Black Forest was not behind the vandalism, but also reveals that Latil's father had previously asked them to investigate her for unknown reasons. Latil entrusts him with the responsibility of investigating the case due to his knowledge of the organization. She gets him to accompany her to follow Paul, a guard who she had discovered was a mole due to his mind-reading powers. Tasir demonstrates her incredible swordsmanship by single-handedly defeating several thugs and looking no worse. Tasir's valet Hyarlan, feeling frustrated because

Tasir was the only one of the consorts who hadn't spent a night with Latil, but he was helping Klein, ranting that he should make Tasir's clothes fall in front of Latil so he could catch her. attention. This gives Tasir the idea to remove the seams from her clothes, which actually fall off when Latil visits her chambers in an attempt to read her thoughts. Latil is not amused by his antics and treats him primarily as an advisor rather than a consort.

Zaicin: Latil previously only knew Zaicin as the Great Sage and not by name. The Great Prophet recommends that she contact him as the vandalism incident could have involved black magic, which very few living people knew about. He was so elusive that she didn't know how to contact him. She ends up summoning him to his coronation banquet by putting up public signs. She meets him when she hears him being attacked by assassins on the palace grounds while she was walking away from the palace grounds. She quickly tears her dress with her sword and jumps from the window to defend him. However, Zaicin ends up beating the assassins, simultaneously destroying their mental image of him as a sweet and gentle angel. Zaicin reveals to her that he had been working undercover as a casino dealer, leading her to question her morals, but Zaicin maintains that she was within the limits set for him. She then asks Latil to include her in his harem to protect him from the assassins who sought to silence him due to his knowledge of black magic. Latil agrees and asks him to do something eye-catching at the banquet so she can pretend to be fascinated with him. She ends up doing a strange dance, which Latil nevertheless follows. Later, Latil visits him under the impression that he would not act as a true consort due to his true motives. However, she discovers him lying in his bed, barely dressed. Horrified, she wraps him in a blanket and orders him to get dressed again.

Sir Sonnaught: Latil has been close to Sir Sonnaught since childhood, as he was friends with Raean. As a result, she does not understand why the noble ladies fawn over him, since to her he has always been like a brother to her. This also makes her completely oblivious to Sonnaught's flirting, such as when he asks her what she thinks of him as a marriage candidate. On the other hand, Sonnaught is deeply in love with her, a fact that is obvious to many around her, but he has decided to become her protector. He doesn't entertain the idea of ​​entering her harem because he couldn't protect her that way. However, she considers him more of Raean's friend than hers. When the vandalism incident suggests that whoever had painted the warning was a supporter of the "true owner of the throne", Raean becomes her prime suspect, making her suspicious of Sir Sonnaught as well. This leads her to delegate tasks to Tasir.

Secondary characters Emperor Hyacinth: Latil's failed romance with Hyacinth sets the entire harem plot in motion. Hyacinth really loves Latil, but had prioritized winning the throne over her, which Latil understands and doesn't blame him. Hyacinth cannot forget Latil even after years since her wedding, and he and Aini become trapped in a loveless marriage. Due to her fight with him, Latil is initially unable to provide affection to the consorts and remembers many moments she had. He eventually realizes that Hyacinth had sent him letters and gifts, but they had been intercepted by an unknown person, since when they sent letters secretly and not through the official mail system, they were able to receive each other's letters. The two begin to work together to track down the culprit. Empress Aini: Latil is initially intimidated by Aini, as he sees Aini's seemingly gentle and feminine demeanor as everything she is not. However, both are not resentful, as they recognize that it was Hyacinth who put them in this position in the first place by accepting the Dagger Duke's offer. Aini even gifts Latil a bottle of wine, calling her her "best friend."

Prince Raean: Latil had always been close to Raean. Before her coronation ceremony, he warmly embraces Raean upon realizing that he had come to see her despite not agreeing with her decision to execute Thula. The two have an honest conversation about Thula's execution, after which Latil reaffirms his stance that it was the right thing to do. Later, when the Great Prophet is summoned to the palace to inform Latil about the vandalism incident, Raean also appears. Latil hugs him excitedly upon seeing him, and even the Great Prophet comments that they have a good relationship. However, when the vandalism incident suggests that whoever had painted the warning was a supporter of the "true owner of the throne", Raean becomes the prime suspect. She decides not to trust anyone until the incident is resolved. Prince Thula: When they were children, Latil did not get along with Thula due to jealousy of the Emperor's attention. This hatred is exacerbated by the fact that his mother, Anaktcha, caused her mother, the Empress, much pain due to Anaktcha's status as the Emperor's favorite consort. When it was revealed that Raean would renounce the throne, she did not want Thula to be Emperor because she perceived his policies as idealistic and he would not be a good leader. After Thula takes the throne from him while she is away, his hatred worsens. When she finally retakes the throne, she publicly executes him by guillotine and imprisons Anaktcha indefinitely.

nacktcha: Both Latil and Anaktcha did not like each other since Latil was a child. One day, after finding Latil fighting with Thula, Anaktcha calls her a "vile, short-tempered girl" before pushing her into the lake. Realizing what she had done, she quickly grabs Thula and runs away from her, leaving Latil to swim alone to safety. Latil's mother discovers Latil soaked and demands to know who did that to her, but Latil seemed to be overcome with anger and it is unknown if she revealed Anaktcha's act. When Latil retakes the palace, Anaktcha sobs as she begs Latil to forgive Thula, trying to persuade him that he was her brother and a son of hers whom her father had loved dearly. She begs Latil to forgive him for the memory of his father. However, Latil has her taken away and the execution carried out anyway. Later, Latil visits Anaktcha in her cell, where the latter desperately asks about her son. Latil momentarily considers sparing him the pain by lying, before deciding to simply tell him that her son was dead. This causes Anaktcha to wail horribly, before cursing Latil. Marquis Sablé: The chamberlain is Latil's most trusted advisor and acts as his secretary. He has a notable favor for Ranamun to become Royal Consort, suggesting Ranamun whenever Latil needs to choose a consort. However, this doesn't always work.

Countess Aiguiness: Countess Aiguiness, or nurse as Latil has always called her, is Latil's nanny who has been with her since she was little. She comforts Latil when he catches her crying over Hyacinth's betrayal and expresses concern for her safety when he finds her sitting on the windowsill. Latil is glad to see that she managed to escape the war for the throne unscathed, as she had gone on vacation while Latil was away, which led to her not being in the palace during the insurrection. Duke Atraxil: Duke Atraxil is the second noble to support Latil during the war for the throne. Initially, he had been planning to claim neutrality and stay out of the war. Duchess Atraxil convinces him to lend her support, using the recent civil war in Karisen as an example of how they could use his position to make Ranamun Royal Consort. She introduces Latil to the visibly reluctant Ranamun and even comments that the two made a regal couple, much to both of their surprise. However, unlike Duke Dagger, he does not make this a condition of his support, but rather considers it a given, as empresses normally only accept one consort. Latil fails to fulfill this obligation, which surprises him at the coronation ceremony when he discovers that she would be instituting a harem. Still, Latil often considers his interests due to his influence and often chooses Ranamun first to save face, choosing Ranamun to spend the first night with him, even though it was just for show and they simply left. to sleep. He gradually warms to the idea of ​​Ranamun being a consort, expressing pride whenever he senses that Latil is attracted to Ranamun. He gloats in front of Chancellor Rhodes when Latil chooses Ranamun for the first dance at his coronation banquet.

History In the year 511, six years before the story begins, Latil meets Hyacinth when the latter arrives in Tarium from Karisen as an envoy and scholar. The two became attracted to each other and began a romance. Their time was cut short when Hyacinth had to rush home because his half-brother, Heium, had incited a rebellion to seize Karisen while Hyacinth was in Tarium. Latil starts going to the temple every day to pray for Hyacinth's safety. Two years later, in the year 514, Tarium receives news that Hyacinth had successfully ascended the throne. Two months pass and Latil still has not heard from Hyacinth himself. However, she decides to be diligent in her studies so that she can be a good empress to Hyacinth when he comes looking for her. One day a delegation from Karisen arrives. Certain it is for her, he eavesdrops on the conversation in the Great Hall. She is surprised to learn that Hyacinth would, in fact, marry Aini Tour the Dagger, the daughter of the Dagger Duke. After sobbing in her room, she receives a secret letter from Hyacinth delivered by the delegation, asking her to meet. She asks her father for permission to go to Karisen, after which she is granted the position of head of the Tarium wedding party.

Two months pass and Latil still has not heard from Hyacinth himself. However, she decides to be diligent in her studies so that she can be a good empress to Hyacinth when he comes looking for her.

One day a delegation from Karisen arrives. Certain that it is for her, she eavesdrops on the conversation in the Great Hall. She is surprised to learn that Hyacinth would, in fact, marry Aini Tour the Dagger, the daughter of the Dagger Duke. After sobbing in her room, she receives a secret letter from Hyacinth delivered by the delegation, asking her to meet. She asks her father for permission to go to Karisen, after which she is granted the position of head of the Tarium wedding party. Upon meeting Hyacinth, she is surprised to learn that she plans to divorce Aini in five years and wait for her to stabilize her rule so she can reduce the Dagger Duke's influence. She explains that Duke Dagger lent her support during the civil war, on the condition that he name Aini her empress. However, Latil is upset to hear that he expects her to wait for him and rejects him. Later that night, Aini comes to visit her in her room, after which Aini admits that she knows that Hyacinth does not love her. However, she intends to move forward with the marriage and she does not plan to ever divorce him. She then gives Latil a bottle of wine, which Latil drinks in the palace gardens and ends up getting drunk. She meets Klein, whom she mistakes for a figment of her imagination, and begins prattling on about her feelings for him. They drink together and fall asleep in the garden. Latil wakes up and runs off, leaving Klein sleeping. Klein then recognizes her the next day during the wedding ceremony and tries to confront her, but is interrupted as the ceremony begins. He states that he will speak to her after the ceremony, however, Latil's anger towards Hyacinth leads her to leave the ceremony immediately after it ends.

When she returns from Tarium, Latil is surprised to hear that Raean has voluntarily resigned as heir to the throne to become a Great Prophet. Latil had never coveted the throne, as he always seemed destined for Raean. To her surprise, her father began to support her as his heir, instead of Thula as she expected. Raean also supports her as his heir, convincing some of her followers to also support her, albeit reluctantly. For two years, she worked hard to catch up with her education and training to prepare for the role of Empress. During these two years, Tarium sends consorts to Karisen to strengthen relations between the two nations. In the year 516, while on a diplomatic mission abroad, her father is assassinated and Thula stages a successful coup to take the throne under the pretext that the Emperor had named him heir in the last words of he. She returns to Tarium, where she spends a year rallying the support of nobles such as Duke Atraxil and waging war for the throne with Thula. After half a year, she begins to curry favor with neighboring countries by posing as a weak ruler to gain their support. In the spring of 517, she manages to retake the throne with her help, executes Thula, and imprisons Anaktcha. She then has all those who had opposed her executed or stripped of her rank and wealth. The nobles pressure her to marry in order to stabilize her rule. She agrees, however, instead of choosing a royal consort as the nobles hoped, she decides to institute a harem, with five members to start. She deflects the uproar by suggesting that the nobles could rise in the ranks by sending their sons, which appeals to them, as they had previously expected Ranamun to be a candidate for the position due to the help Duke Atraxil had provided. She begins to receive all kinds of applications for a position
