Although, his plans aren't revealed just yet but he's good at hiding it.

During the ten years he spent in hiding, he met Iris several times to which she believed that he was a servant in training.

While Dean wished he could break the engagement, he knew he was in no position to do so. He would eventually see Iris again when they both attended the Academy, but she did not recognize him. He witnessed Iris' conflict with Yuri, and he had a negative impression of Iris even though he did understand she had her reasons for it.

Sometime after Iris was expelled from the Academy, he was surprised that Iris was appointed Acting Governor of Armelia.

## Quotes

> "*… ‘Tears will resolve nothing.’ Hmmm. Although, I do agree with that statement, caging yourself in like that is much worse than crying. It is through tears that you will be able to break out of your cage and truly move on. You must face your feelings head on, even if they are dangerous, because it will give your heart closure.*
