**Vayne Ashley Laurent** is the third child of Grand Duke Lutz Eleanore Laurent and Alicianna Syvana Laurent. He is currently working as an assistant professor as well as doing some underground jobs like being an informant or assassin.

## Personality

The third child of Grand Duke Lutz Eleanore Laurent and Alicianna Syvana Laurent. Different from his two siblings, Vayne is known as the quietest and coldest child. Several times he brought whatever he read into his interactions with his siblings so that Alvero had to close his ears to hear his younger brother's explanation. Even Vayne doesn't hesitate to say his scathing words to anyone with a natural flatness, even his own father. But behind his scathing remarks, Vayne is the one who cares about his family the most and understands the situation. That's why he was willing to be asked to help take care of the Guild from his father. More precisely helping Alvero with his 'work'.

On the outside, he looks like a model student academy, but not on the inside. Vayne has a job that he hides, only his father and brother know. From the age of 10, Vayne worked as a secret informant, a dangerous job that was different from her two siblings. Sometimes he can also work as an assassin but most of his work is in the information field. Because of his love for books, his father supported and helped him by tutoring Vayne. But who would have thought that he would be comfortable working as an informant from the shadows. Lutz wondered if he was doing the right thing with his son.

Vayne has a cold personality, doesn't talk much and is often silent when faced with strangers. But if Vayne knew these people, one of them was his brother and father, Vayne was a talkative person. He is not chatty but his words are straightforward and likes to talk as it is. When he saw the ridiculous behaviour of the people he met, he always sighed as if he was tired and pretended he didn't know the person.

At the Academy, Vayne is known for his calm and cool impression which makes the women at the Academy like him. Many women have expressed feelings for him but Vayne always rejected them. Vayne feels he doesn't need love, but everything changes when he meets a noble girl from the Feuerbach family named Cordelia von Feuerbach. Cordelia is the only friend Vayne has that is close. Maybe this is where Vayne shows a different side of his image which is a bit stubborn. As time went on, the two of them formed a relationship. Since Vayne had a partner, his two brothers felt they were prioritized, especially Alvero, who was jealous of his younger brother who had a girlfriend, while he himself was single.

## Appearance

When working as an informant or assassin, Vayne always wears a black robe that covers his entire body. He also wore a black face covering, and carried a dagger and sharp needles. If Vayne is at the Academy, he wears a cream blazer over a white shirt or the academy's alma mater is blue. But Vayne prefers blazers because they are comfortable. In his daily life, Vayne usually wears a white shirt at the mansion accompanied by a blazer, sometimes wearing a black coat when attending aristocratic parties or just accompanying his father and siblings. Sometimes his brother forces him to follow his recommended clothing style.
