Glorym

**Glorym** is the second child and only daughter of Alan Rimwell and Rashta. Originally presumed to be the only child of Emperor Sovieshu, she was the Crown Princess of the Eastern Empire, though she was removed from this position after the events of the paternity test and later in life opted to be the commander of the knights instead of inheriting the throne.

## History

Rashta's pregnancy with Glorym serves as a catalyst for a number of events in the story, including the divorce. Wishing to protect his then-unborn child and to grant their wishes of an heir, Sovieshu Vict planned to divorce Navier Trovi and marry Rashta for a year to ensure Glorym's legitimacy. However, Sovieshu ultimately wished for Navier to remarry him and to adopt Glorym to raise as her own. This, of course, is thwarted by her remarriage to King Heinrey Alles Lazlo of the Western Kingdom.

One day, Rashta suddenly goes into labor and delivers Glorym presumably early. However, the baby instead appears to be perfectly healthy despite her alleged premature birth. Sovieshu keeps Glorym from her mother shortly after her birth, distrusting Rashta's ability to care for the child due to her mental instability as well as her history of abusing an animal. After prompting from Baron Lant, Sovieshu gives in and allows Rashta to see her child. Traumatized from thinking her first child died, Rashta panics after being given her daughter to hold and throws her onto the floor. This prompts Viscountess Verdi to take Glorym to Sovieshu and ask him to protect her. Following this incident, Rashta is prohibited from going near her child and Sovieshu takes care of Glorym himself where he often plays with her and she sometimes tugs at his hair.

After finding out about Navier's own pregnancy, Sovieshu begins to question whether Glorym is his own child, eventually leading to a paternity test being conducted. During the events of the paternity test, it is discovered that Glorym is Alan Rimwell's biological child. Unbeknownst to them, Rashta had become pregnant with their second child prior to running away and was in the very early stages of pregnancy when she met Sovieshu, explaining why Glorym was born perfectly healthy even though she was allegedly several weeks premature. This event shocks all, including Rashta. However, this result was later thrown into question by the fact that Duke Ergi left a note for Sovieshu claiming to have rigged the paternity test and that Glorym actually was his daughter. However, it was then pointed out by Sovieshu’s closest advisor, Marquis Karl, that it was unlikely that Ergi would’ve been able to rig the test properly and that Ergi was likely just using the note (and the mental distress he knew it would cause Sovieshu) as a distraction in order to escape the Eastern Empire and avoid arrest. The priest who performed the paternity test commits suicide years later, which does add to some public speculation about Glorym’s paternity. After growing up, Glorym sometimes refers to Sovieshu as her father due to the bond they shared when she was a baby, although she makes it clear that she considers her adoptive parents to be her “real” parents.

Following her mother's trial about the crimes she committed with Viscount Lotteshu and Duke Ergi Claude, Glorym is taken by Viscountess Verdi who had grown very protective of the child, in an attempt to escape. However, their carriage is attacked by the Springwater bandits and Glorym disappears, making Sovieshu presume that she is dead and becomes further distraught to the point that he has a mental breakdown due to immense grief. However, Glorym is shown to be alive and well, having been taken in by one of the bandits who adopts her alongside his wife. The couple then decide to raise her as their own and they named her **Motte**.

Many people including Grand Duke Rylan Roth tried to find her to use us a political pawn. He managed to find Glorym's childhood best friend Cici, who had silver hair like Glorym, and tried to pass her off as the former princess to Sovieshu. The emperor knew she wasn't Glorym but he was kind to her.

Later, she reunites with Sovieshu when he gets stuck in a trap in the same forest he met Rashta in and they have a bittersweet reunion. He even offers the throne to her, but she refuses and wishes to be a commander of the knight instead. He respects her wish and keeps his distance from her to protect her identity.

## Physical appearance

Much like Ian, Glorym is described as a very pretty baby who takes after her mother Rashta in appearance, possessing the same 'snowy features', silver hair and dark eyes.

    When Glorym gets older, she is said to resemble Rashta so closely that she frequently dyes her hair black and masquerades as a boy in public in order to avoid being recognized as the daughter of Rashta.

## Relationships

### *Family*

* **Rashta**: Glorym's mother. Rashta was excited for the arrival of her child, believing Glorym would solidify her position by Sovieshu's side and elevate her status in society. She felt insecure after the birth as a princess did not inherit the throne, but felt extremely happy after Soviechu confirmed her daughter would be his heir. However, Glorym is kept away from her mother with Sovieshu, believing Rashta is unfit to care for the baby after he realized that she abused an animal. This creates some upset for Rashta, who, at the child's banquet, grows jealous that Glorym is the one in the spotlight and is now the one receiving Sovieshu's attention, but she immediately feels bad for thinking that of her daughter. In the one instance Rashta is allowed to hold her child, traumatized from thinking her first child died, she panics and throws Glorym onto the floor, prompting her to be prohibited from going near her child. Despite her trauma, she often thought about Glorym.
* **Sovieshu Vict:** Sovieshu immensely adored the child, even taking it upon himself to care for her himself despite his duties. He often played with her and talked to her in silly manners.

After receiving the news of her supposed death, Sovieshu had a mental breakdown. After 14 years, Glorym begins to learn about her past and ends up reuniting with Sovieshu. She refers Sovieshu as her father at one point, but keeps her distance from him as she wanted to have an identity of her own by helping people in need as a knight.
