Elaine Selas (daughter)Edward Selas (son)

Kirie Selas (daughter)

Tyrone is the father of the siblings Kirie Selas, Edward Selas and Elaine Selas and a minor character in the Einstein isekai franchise.

## Appearance

Tyrone is a tall, slender man with golden eyes and long, light brown hair, which he usually wears in a high ponytail. His fringe is fairly long, almost entirely covering up his right eye and emphasizing the mole under his left; furthermore, he has fairly soft facial features, making him look younger than he actually is. As expected of a king, he is always seen in high-quality robes (some with more intricate designs than others), often combined with subtle items of jewelry, though he never indulges in excessive luxury in regards to his appearance.

## Personality

Tyrone is a well-mannered and gentle person that will usually try to avoid all possible conflict, but recognizes when it cannot be avoided and tries to solve or counteract the problem accordingly. He is not submissive to the other nobles and makes it clear that he is the person that holds the most power and that he will not be used or shoved around like a puppet by anyone. Despite acting this way in public, he does submit rather easily in private, especially with his family and very close friends, which is why he may not come across as assertive enough to some people.

## History

Being the heir to the throne, Tyrone was always pressured to do his best and give it his all because he was not the naturally smartest - not in the book-smart sense - which made his parents upset a lot. He tried his best until eventually, he improved after a lot of studying, even though he did not think that he would ever compare to the other noble children. Behind his back, he heard the other noble children and adults muttering that he was not fit to be the king but that they had no other choice, that he was way too delicate and fragile, along with being too submissive and not assertive enough. So of course, he tried to change his character too, trying to be accepted as a strong and independent king that could take care of his kingdom on his own despite looking like this.

From the beginning, he had been told about his fiancée and accepted it, albeit a bit hesitantly and with a lot of internal conflict going on. When he met Daria, however, he knew that she was the one that he wanted to spend his life with, even if she did not look like she would ever reciprocate his feelings. He tried his best and eventually, became a heir that his parents and Daria could be proud of. Tyrone noticed that Daria started treating him differently, too, which means that it worked, that she approved.

## Plot

Tyrone notices that the vampires' attacks are getting more and more violent and numorous in number and he decides that he has to finally step in. One of his advisors stops him from doing so and tells him to hire someone else instead, mentioning that they could summon a hero from another world, but Tyrone is unsure because he is not sure who he can trust. Unfortunately, the vampires attack another one of the small villages at the border the next day and the king is forced to make a decision. That leads him to pull an all-nighter in the royal library, where he eventually finds a hidden door in the far back that looks like it has been used recently, which strikes him as odd, but he does not question it further. He walks down the hall, finds a bookshelf and spends several more hours there, trying to memorize how summoning a hero works, which magical artifacts from the treasury and what kind of magical users he will need. It turns out that he only needs himself and four additional magic users that have the other four forms of magic, each of them having to wield a magical artifact corresponding to their magic. They have to combine their magic, ideally a huge amount of it and then direct it to a magic circle drawn onto the ground.

He does not expect it to work, which is why he is really surprised when it does. He immediately offers the hero wealth in exchange for his power and his help in the fight against the vampires. The hero, not saying a word, simply walks out of the throne room. Most of his helpers are outraged at the hero's audacity, but Tyrone just shakes his head. He then tells Cayden Neredras, the earth user that he had asked for help, to go after him and report back to him every week. He does that for a few weeks, until the reports suddenly stop coming. Tyrone is worried at first, but then realizes that Cayden's loyalty must have switched over to the hero whose name was Einstein.

Later on, Tyrone agrees to meet the queen of the vampires, Reiko Ambrogio and is confused by the accusation that he sent an assassin after the former vampire king's and queen's life. They are quickly interrupted by a messenger, telling them that someone very powerful had attacked and was currently destroying Boukia. He stays back but is not able to stop his second daughter Kirie to follow the vampire queen into battle, even if he tries to do so desperately, even sending guards after her to bring her back or at the very least defend her.

## Abilities

Tyrone's light magic lets him redirect light, to e.g. care for plants or blind someone temporarily if he wanted to. He can turn up the heat for them, too, which makes it quite similar to fire magic. Similarly, like fire users, he can also create a certain amount of light, which depends on how much stamina he has. But unlike most fire users, he can create light out of nothing, although not in huge amounts.

## Relationships

#### **Daria Selas**

For Tyrone, meeting Daria was love at first sight. He constantly seeks her approval and pays attention to her needs and wants, trying to be one step ahead of her at all times despite her being so much more naturally talented than he could ever be. He does not mind her spending a lot of money on dresses and jewellery and hopes that one day, she will come to love him too, although the possibility is so low that he has accepted that never happening already. Nevertheless, he never oversteps his boundaries and is not clingy either, carrying out his duties like normal without getting distracted.

#### **Elaine Selas**

Tyrone tries to spend as much time with his children as possible, but Elaine is one of the hardest to get through because of her stoic and emotionally detached attitude. He will sometimes go into her room while she is studying to offer her his help, but then realizes that the material she is studying is too hard for him to understand, making him equally sad and proud. It saddens him that he has no opportunity to bond with his daughter except when he sometimes joins her training lessons when he has time, although he usually just observes from the sidelines because their magic is different, which in turn means that they do not interact much there either. But because his daughter has not outright told him to leave her alone yet, he has hope that it will work out one day.

#### **Edward Selas**

Despite Tyrone's various attempts at making small-talk and trying to do things with his son, it never seems to work. His son usually just ignores him and does not pay any attention to him. That likely originates from him mainly seeing Tyrone in private and as a result, considering him to be weak; the few times Edward actually gets to see Tyrone in his role as the king (where he actually seems to respect him) are not enough to change his views in that regard. That fact saddens Tyrone greatly, but there is nothing he can do about it. Additionally, his son has ice magic, meaning that their magic abilities are even further apart than Elaine's and his, making it almost impossible for him to help Edward train and even when he attempts to do so, his son always rather bluntly tells him to leave and that he would only disturb his studies.

**Kirie Selas**

Tyrone interacted with Kirie frequently due to both of them having essentially the same magic, Kirie's being just a bit stronger than his, as it was normally. In the past, before Kirie ran away from home, they had a designated training day and both of them usually enjoyed it throroughly, although they were still more distant to each other than Tyrone would have liked. Then they had to go back to the harsh reality that they lived in, one in which their family was nowhere near perfect and more than broken. Whenever he noticed that Kirie snuck out or started wearing inappropriate clothing for a princess in private, Tyrone usually covered for her and indulged her in her hobby, wanting to make her happy despite knowing that his wife does not approve of what Kirie dresses like when she is not on social events. Nowadays, they rarely interact anymore because Kirie is more occupied with her new family.
