## Appearance

**Kalian** is the main protagonist of the series and the third prince of the Kingdom of Cyries.

### Appearance

Kalian has short straight black hair and ruby eyes. His appearance is very similar to that of his mother, Freya.

### History (old Kalian)

The third prince of Cyries, his name means guardian of the star in Cyries and Remnant of sunset in ancient Secritia. In the past timeline, the old Kalian was secretly a mage, he succeeded in forming three circles by the age of fourteen which shows how hard he was practicing. Before his 15th birthday and the coming-of-age ceremony, he was slowly dying from poisoned tea sent by Queen Sillike, and was eventually assassinated under the guise of suicide after being framed of poisoning the queen.

### History (current Kalian)

In the current timeline, Bern entered Kalian's body and changes various things based on the information he knows about the future. He is currently a Sword Master and a five circle mage with wind attributes. Kalian (Bern) is currently engaged to Dmirea for a political reason.

### Personality (old Kalian)

The young Kalian tragically lost his mother at an early age, finding himself alone without anyone to support him. He endured the disdain of the queen, leading him to develop a timid and quiet personality. Despite his reserved nature, a fiery temper emerged when confronted with memories of his mother, Freya. His resemblance to her fueled his self-loathing, leading him to shatter mirrors reflecting his own image. Sillike and Plants subjected him to mental abuse due to this vulnerability. To further shield himself from his own crimson-eyed likeness, Kalian kept his hair long, fearing the wrath of his brother, Plants. When Bern took control of his body in the current timeline and recalled the death of the old Kalian, he dismissively remarked, *'he lived a foolish life.*' However, upon uncovering the painful past and challenging circumstances of the old Kalian, Bern's perspective shifted. He began to harbor regret and sympathy for the young child, surpassing any others who had known him. Kalian was also a genuis when it comes to magic, achieving the third circle at a pace faster than Allan did at the same age.

### Relationships (old Kalian)

#### Freya Hwiteurin

She passed away after giving birth to him, and yet he is frequently reminded of the resemblance between them by Plants. This similarity induces panic in the old Kalian whenever he gazes at his reflection in the mirror, often leading him to shatter the mirrors in distress.

#### Plants Lune Cyries

Plants struck a deal with Sillike to exert control over Kalian. Believing that feigning mistreatment towards Kalian would deter his mother and ensure his protection, Plants eventually regretted this decision in the current timeline. Moreover, in the current timeline, Plants hinted that he might have known of the poison in Kalian's tea in the past timeline. He suggested that he might have dispatched someone secretly to the Mage's union to seek aid for the third prince, who bore a resemblance to Syspanian. Unfortunately, Plants's mother intervened, resulting in her killing the old Kalian and revealing the truth to Plants while hinting that he hastened the death of his brother. Tragically, in both timelines, the old Kalian passed away unaware of Plants' genuine care and affection for him

#### Rmain Rue Lune Cyries

He ignored his children until Allan's scolding, however, it was already too late. The old Kalian passed away and, Rmain who was striving to be a better parent to his sons is unaware.

#### Randel Sile Cyries

Randel never considered his relationship with the old Kalian equal, all his actions that helped Kalian was just to grow him into a manageable tool. However, the old Kalian intended to protect Randel despite that by wiping his memories about him when Bern came into his body.

#### Bern Secritia

Bern thinks he 'owes his life' to the old Kalian, and had decided to 'live for that child' by not forgetting his conversation in the dream with him before passing away, as well as keeping his memories and not forgetting a single one. To Bern, it is also the biggest reason to hold on, who often suffers from a sense of futility because his existence itself has been removed in the current timeline.

### Relationships (current Kalian)

#### Plants Lune Cyries

Plants and Kalian (Bern) initially started as foes. Plants consistently had the upper hand in tormenting the old Kalian. However, when Bern took over Kalian's body, he refused to tolerate Plants's mistreatment and engaged in physical confrontations or verbal clashes until Plants fell silent. Plants, found out that Kalian (Bern) wasn't his brother due to his sharpness and Bern’s inability to keep secrets, eventually disclosed his secret, fostering a closeness between them despite occasional disagreements. Plants frequently scolds Kalian (Bern) for not using honorifics or addressing him as ‘Hyung’ (older brother) proving that, despite Bern taking over Kalian's body, Plants still perceives him as a younger brother. Additionally, Plants often compares Kalian's (Bern) chatter as 'barking.' And Kalian (Bern) sees him as a child due to the mental age differences and therefore he gives in to plants first and is quite patient with him.

#### Dmirea Siegfried

Kalian is 'engaged' to Ian's younger sister, Dmirea, but the two do not have any romantic relationship. The two had ended up 'engaged' as a way of showing that Kalian is under the shield of Siegfield, the elephants.

#### Allan Manasil

Kalian (Bern)'s teacher and the first person Kalian revealed his secret. When they first met, he saw the poisoned Kalian as a reflection of his poisoned son, and this made him decide to help Kalian. Now, in addition to the teacher-student relationship, he has almost become Kalian's foster father.

#### Kyrie Bern

In the current timeline, he is rescued from the arena along with his sister Hina with the help of Kalian (Bern), and despite having no memory of the previous timeline, due to his elven blood, his hearing is far superior than humans, he found out about Kalian's secret when Chase and Allan were discussing it by mistake, and later on realized that Kalian saved Hina when he heard that he was in Secritia alone in the original timeline, thus, he serves Kalian (Bern) faithfully than anyone else. He took the surname Bern, the old name of Kalian (Bern), as his surname.
