Zeno

She is a princess of the Kingdom of Marden, first appearing in volume 3 of the story. Later, she becomes the Marquis of Marden under the rule of Natra.

She is extremely intelligent and, after remonstrating with her father, King Marden Fushutale, for his tyranny, she fell out of his favor and was confined to a detached palace. However, during the fall of the capital by Cabalinu, this confinement allowed her to be the sole surviving member of the royal family. Afterwards, she takes on the name Helmut and, as the leader of the Liberation Army, fights against Cabalinu.

When Wein Salema Arbalest heads to Cabalinu, Zeno protects him and his party after they are attacked by a mysterious faction and accompanies them under the identity of Jiva’s nephew. During this time, she is deeply impressed by Wein’s character and cunning, and helps him defeat King Cabalinu Ordresse and exact revenge on her arch-enemy, Holonyeh. Furthermore, with Natra’s support, she finally realizes her long-cherished goal of liberating Marden. However, rather than pursuing independence, she chooses to submit Marden to Natra’s control, effectively carrying out Wein’s long-held desire to “sell her country.”

In Natra, she is appointed as a marquis, holding de facto autonomy over Marden while devoting herself to the management of her territory. Although she harbors feelings for Wein, she is keenly aware of his abnormality and works diligently at both state affairs and her studies to become someone worthy of standing on equal ground with him.
