The second prince of the Kingdom of Fortna, distinguished by his ashen-gold eyes. While escorting Alisha, who was betrothed to Gargada, from the Star Palace to the royal palace, the carriage carrying Princess Alisha fell off a cliff. As a substitute, he brought Nina instead. He served as Nina’s tutor for three months, preparing her in the role of Princess Alisha.
In truth, he is not the real Azure Seth Fortna, but another person who took Azure’s place after the real prince died in an accident at age four. To conceal the prince’s death, he was brought to the palace and, for ten years, was rigorously educated by the Grand Emperor to "live and devote himself to this country, never desiring or wanting anything." By the time he turned thirteen, he had gained significant expectations from the vassals, and by seventeen, he was intelligent enough to command a regiment.
However, with the birth of Muhulum by the current Queen of Fortna, he lost his sense of purpose and began to think of himself and others as mere puppets (pieces in a game). At first, he regarded Nina as a puppet to be sacrificed later to blame Gargada, but eventually he began to desire Nina for himself. He then worked tirelessly to see if he could nullify the marriage between the Gargada prince and Princess Alisha.
