## History

Jubellian was framed for poisoning her and it is unknown what happened to her after the novel's end.

### Past

When Beatrice was still a fetus inside her mother's womb, she was expected by both her parents to be a powerful archmage with royal blood. However, when she was born, there was no sign of magic in her, which disappointed her parents a lot including her father Darius Zeferon Ashet. During her childhood, she was forced to compete with her brother Maximilian Kasin Ashet in the race for the throne and was always compared with his achievements. Because of this, her mother grew impatient with her and always assumed that if Beatrice was a boy then it would be easier for her to consolidate her power.

Growing up with her parent's expectations and often getting emotionally abused by both her parents cause Beatrice to resent Maximilian and also causes Beatrice to always feel pressured and stressed out to the point of sometimes she wanted to run away from her own house.

## Personality

On the surface, Beatrice is a perfect princess with a strong personality but under the surface, she was a poor child who got emotionally abused by her parents. Ever since the day she opens her eyes, both her parents had a lot of expectations of her, especially her mother Isabelle Rusty Ashet as she always forces her daughter to become a perfect princess for her or have to beat and humiliate her brother. Thus no matter what she did it will never satisfy them and she always feels stressed when it comes to them. Because of this, Beatrice grows to resent Maximilian and often cries she whenever was alone.

In the original novel, Beatrice was interested in Mikhail Albert Hessen and fell in love with him. However, in the current timeline which was changed by Jubelian Eloy Floyen, after meeting Jubellian and being consoled by her twice, Jubellian becomes the only person whom Beatrice treasured the most and whenever she meets her, she feels more at ease. At the same time, she gains more confidence and started to show more of her true personality, which is strong-willed, consistent, and loving.

According to Jubellian, both Maximilian Kasin Ashet and Beatrice resemble each other a lot for having cat-like personalities despite being half-siblings. Maximilian even noted that she also inherited his insolence as he commented on her rude and disrespectful behavior when they enter the banquet since Max referred to his father by his first name while Beatrice called her brother a psycho or crazy bastard.

## Physical appearance

Beatrice is considered an extraordinarily beautiful young woman and was described by both Mikhail Albert Hessen and Jubelian Eloy Floyen to be extremely dazzling with wavy hip-length salmon-pink colored hair that with bangs hanging over her forehead with cheek-length hair strands hanging on either side, bright cherry-red eyes and full pink lips. Her hair color is said to be inherited from her mother Isabelle Rusty Ashet and was considered a trait of the royal blood archmages.

Throughout the series, Beatrice wears a variety of different gowns made of fine materials, paired with ornate accessories befitting an imperial princess.

## Abilities

### Magical abilities

Beatrice is one of the archmages born into the royal family and she is blessed with a considerable amount of mana and magical power, which she inherited from her ancestor. According to Mikhail Albert Hessen, Beatrice has red hair and red eyes, which is the trait of the royal blood archmages inherited from the first emperor.

> Jubelian Eloy Floyen, Chapter 72

When Beatrice was a fetus, she has been shown to have a strong amount of mana until she was born, did the scent of mana disappear it can only be awakened when Beatrice is in danger or a moment of desperation. This explains Jubelian Eloy Floyen's confusion on why Beatrice's ability did not awake because upon their meeting, she has become Beatrice's most important pillar of emotion, and losing her, means she'll lose a part of her world of happiness, thus allowing the princess to awaken her magical ability.

As demonstrated in Chapter 90, she eventually awakens her powers when she tries to save Jubelian Eloy Floyen from a magical beast, and ever since learning magic with Pafnil, Beatrice has been able to wield magic perfectly, as in Chapter 108, she is seen using Invisibility magic.

He later inherits his father’s title and Max appoints him as the next knight commander before he marries Beatrice. Together they will have a son named Patrick.

### Family

#### Darius Zeferon Ashet

Darius is Beatrice's father who did not see her as his daughter but as a tool for him. After learning that his daughter can not use magic, Darius becomes furious and disappointed to the point of seeing her as "useless" and neglecting Beatrice throughout her childhood. Throughout her life, Beatrice was pressured by her parents and she admits that she struggles to get her father’s attention. It shows that Beatrice always felt intimidated by her father and it become worse after she learns that he is the one who put her in harm's way and even try to kill her. This makes Beatrice decide to side with Maximilian Kasin Ashet and the Floyen.

Their relationship hit the toxic point when Darius planning to put Beatrice in harm's way to awaken her power and give her to Pafnil to make her an archmage he wanted so that he can kill her and have her power for Pafnil. In prison, Darius arranges for Beatrice to be poisoned to eliminate Maximilian and coincidentally, successfully sacrificed her for his plan, but failed due to Isabelle Rusty Ashet's chooses her daughter's survival over him and her greed.

#### Isabelle Rusty Ashet

Isabelle is Beatrice's mother whom she appears to be scared of as seen in **Chapter 55** and **Chapter 70**. Isabelle has always abused her daughter emotionally and only sees her as a tool to get more power and influence. Despite appearing as mother and child, their relationship is rather toxic as Isabelle is manipulative and overly controls Beatrice.

However, underneath their toxic mother-and-child relationship, Isabelle loves her daughter deeply as shown in **Chapter 118** when she tells her daughter to survive before drinking the poisoned glass instead of Beatrice and sides with Maximilian Kasin Ashet at the end to foil Mikhail Albert Hessen and Darius Zeferon Ashet's plan and gets her revenge on them at the same time for trying to kill her daughter.

#### Maximilian Kasin Ashet

Maximilian is Beatrice's older half-brother with the former being the firstborn son of the late Latisha Ashet and the latter being the secondborn child of Isabelle Rusty Ashet. As the imperial prince and princess, as well as being half-siblings, they are rivals in the fight for the throne.

Growing up with her parent's expectations and often getting emotionally abused by both her parents have caused Beatrice to grow to resent Maximilian. Despite hating one another, their relationship isn't as toxic as their relationship with their parents. In **Chapter 109**, it is revealed that both have been fighting each other during their childhood and Beatrice is always the winner and they continued their sibling's fight even when they have become adults. It is noticeable that their sibling's rivalry is somewhat like cat and dog, Maximilian and Beatrice will fight immediately whenever they are with one another, whether subtly or directly, evidently during Beatrice's coming-of-age ceremony banquet or Jubelian Eloy Floyen's tea party and birthday party. Their sense of rivalry later went to another level after they met Jubelian and would get into fights when it came to her or something related to her.

However, despite the differences and rivalry on the surface, the brother and sister pair care a lot for each other and trust each other more than their parents. On the one hand, Beatrice chooses her brother as her partner over the men Darius Zeferon Ashet and Isabelle suggest for her, though she regretted the choice later. On the other hand, despite her detestation, Maximilian is the only member of Beatrice's family who shows consideration of her feelings the most and he is the only member of her family not emotionally abused her and even look out for her, which is shown when he helps her reject Mikhail Albert Hessen's advances and even questioning about how she gonna deal with him in the future. Additionally, he even gives her one of his knights as a bodyguard. Between the two they have a degree of trust in one another, evidenced by Isabelle and Darius does not know Max's real face despite Beatrice being one of the few people who knows his identity and Beatrice never doubted Max to be the one who will harm her or use her among her family. According to Max, despite seemingly hating each other, both he and Trice never wanted anything of the other person.

Both Maximilian and Beatrice have many similarities, noticed by Jubelian and Viktor for their personality and attitudes, which is similar to the cats and they hold great animosity and low opinion toward Mikhail Albert Hessen for not only being Jubelian Eloy Floyen's ex-lover but also for his attitude of being arrogant and obsessive toward Beatrice and Jubellian.

### Friends

#### Jubelian Eloy Floyen

Jubelian is the first friend that Beatrice makes in **Chapter 57**. After meeting Jubellian twice and receiving consolation, Beatrice became fond of her and told Jubellian to call her "Trice". Beatrice treasures Jubellian and feels at ease expressing herself whenever she is around. Thus, she wanted to keep Jubellian to herself and often tried to get Jubellian to drink tea with her and shoo her brother away. Because of this, she became the second strongest rival to Maximilian Kasin Ashet.

According to Beatrice, Jubelian is the only one who never expects anything from her but wanted her to be happy.

### Enemies

#### Mikhail Albert Hessen

In the original novel, Mikhail becomes engaged to Beatrice. However, after Jubelian Eloy Floyen returns to the past and ends her relationship with Mikhail, Beatrice appears to not be interested in Mikhail as seen in **Chapter 70** when she walks away from him after he requests a dance. It is shown that after Jubellian broke up with him and later befriends the princess, Beatrice only sees Mikhail as her best friend's ex and will avoid him whenever she saw him.

On the other hand, Mikhail doesn't have any feelings for her other than using her to have the Royal family's power and influence through Beatrice to destroy the Floyen ducal house and make Jubellian stay with him forever.

In  **Chapter 109**, Beatrice becomes Mikhail's fiancee. However, Mikhail does not care about her as he cooperates with the Emperor to order Empress Isabelle to poison Beatrice. Unfortunately for him, the plan fails and his family loses their status as a consequence of his action and he gets captured.
