Prince (King, then Emperor after the Zephyrian Saga) **Freindarte Ardereich von Asaka** is one of two secondary antagonists of the Zephyrian Saga, and the third one met (after Aura and Enceladus), before Eyerlus.

Freindarte is quite brash, impulsive, cruel and reckless, especially towards the earlier parts of the Zephyrian Saga. He typically very much does not act like a royal, but can be arrogant and somewhat entitled at times (once again, mostly in the earlier parts). The introduction of Eyerlus causes him to mellow down somewhat, and by the end of the Zephyrian saga he is far more selfless, as well as kinder, but much of his old personality still shines. By the time he takes power, Freindarte is very calculating and quite intelligent but still cruel and a bit brash. The Freindarte era is known to have some of the most gruesome executions in Naalsachte's history, and it really shows.

Freindarte is also a very potent psychic mage and fighter, and often prefers to play dirty. During his fights throughout the Zephyrian Saga, he's usually the harder opponent between him and Eyerlus (despite the latter's attacks being more potent and organized, owing to him being a Sonu grandmaster).

## History (Zephyrian Saga)

First joining Aura's side by being one of two people who got kidnapped (the other being Eyerlus), developing Stockholm syndrome and accepting to become her "peon", he makes his very first appearance in the Sanglian Fields, an alien-looking forest located in recently Zephyrian controlled Francia. There, he frequently harasses the Heroes with traps and encounters, culminating in a showdown with a giant Servo the Slime. The resulting battle results in Freindarte and his slime companion withdrawing to the third area, the Eyeruscant Outskirts, specifically its large network of COBs. After dealing with even more traps on a floating island above the Spore Mainland, the COB network is where the first battle with Eyerlus and Freindarte is fought and subsequently the Midnight Helix in the area sealed. The Eyeruscant arc has Freindarte temporarily switch sides after a disagreement with Eyerlus, and he joins the party as a 'deuteragonist' of sorts, working to stop Aura's guard in the city. On a normal route, this leads to him switching AGAIN in the middle of the Eyeruscant arc, and both of them fight the heroes again. On a Psychicscythe route, he fights Eyerlus and uses the titular Psychicscythe spell, causing Eyerlus to turn into dust. After the second battle, the two don't make an appearance in Eyeruscant until the heroes reach the Midnight Helix in Eyeruscant, where they team up with Aura in order to guard the fountain (although she does next to nothing the whole fight). Missing out on an entire arc (Blue Moon), the duo make an appearance in the Aura's Palace arc, the final one in the Zephyrian Saga, where, on a normal route, Nytlchen IV (as well as Aura's extremely bad decision-making at that point) convinces them to switch sides for good. They assist the heroes to storm the well-guarded palace, but are unable to show up in the Aura battle, with both of them being captured by Aura's men after a last stand. They break free in time to fight Aura EX, and eventually bring her down. After the Zephyrian saga, Freindarte eventually became one of the longest-lasting Naalsachte emperors and one of the longest reigning 'muggle' emperors of a sovereign state on record (over 70 years), though this is disputed.
