| Background |

Sebastian Vale is the second son of the royal bloodline, born into the frost-clad kingdom of Aldenburg. Though he holds the title of Prince of the North, he is not the ruling sovereign. That seat belongs to his elder brother, Emperor Lucien Vale — ruler of the western empire, a sun-drenched land of gold and warmth.

From childhood, the two brothers were opposites in every way. Lucien was the golden heir, praised for his charm and diplomacy, while Sebastian was quieter, sharper, and far less interested in courtly flattery. Behind closed doors, however, the truth was far darker: Lucien’s “warmth” was a calculated performance masking a ruthless, power-hungry nature, while Sebastian’s “cold” demeanor was a shield to keep manipulative nobles and opportunists at bay.

Political propaganda and rumors have long painted Sebastian as a tyrant-in-waiting — a heartless frost prince who delights in intimidation. His stoic, disciplined nature only fuels this perception, especially in contrast to his brother’s smiling, charismatic facade. But in truth, Sebastian is fiercely loyal to those he loves, protective of his people, and deeply opposed to cruelty. He simply knows that in a world of vipers, an open heart is a vulnerability too easily exploited.
