Lou/Relationships

## Relationships

### Dia Akedia

Dia has known the Headmaster since he was little since Dia's parents sent him to the academy when he was 10 years old. He likes the Headmaster and often listens to what he tells him to do. This is why he couldn't believe it when it was revealed that Lou could possibly be a part of Iritium. But, he eventually accepted it as MC's cat revealed that the supposed "friar" that had kidnapped MC and Christoph was Lou's servant.

### Guy Avari

Guy is very wary of Lou's motivations, so he often has Jasper investigate him.

### Lunas

Lou had been tasked by Iritium to capture Lunas who had escaped from Seiktopia. He can see Lunas' current whereabouts through a crystal ball in his office. So, he is aware that Lunas is currently staying with Traeta. However, Lou slightly went against his orders and let Lunas continue his fugitive "adventures" for a little bit.

In Lou's Consort Route, it is revealed that Lou did eventually capture Lunas and put him in some kind of prison. However, once Lou recalls that he was Vanum's reincarnation and that Lunas is Sanscha's (Vanum's servant) reincarnation, he lets Lunas go. He then tells Lunas to go rescue all the Vanan people from Seiktopia.

### MC

Lou is the one who allowed MC to attend as a student at the academy. He also gives MC a sigillum arcanum necklace in order to inhibit her strong magical power. In Lou's Route of the Commemorative Kisses story event, it is revealed that he pays for MC's daily expenses under the guise of scholarship money. He is a part of the secret group Iritium and is trying to use MC's power to amplify the power of the Vanans to create cursed artifacts. After MC's powers were revealed to all the kingdoms, he tells her not to tell anyone where she's going and hides her in a church hidden deep in the forest. The church also contains a barrier which makes it harder to find. Christoph tells MC to run away from Iritium and before she can ask Christoph what Iritium is, Nedhi knocks them unconscious and brings them to a secret Iritium base. Since Lou is Nedhi's master, all the princes deduce that Lou is involved with the organization as well. Lou also acts very cautious when going to the hidden church by hiding all of his tracks with magic and he also hasn't revealed to anyone MC's location despite them all frantically looking for her.

In secret Iritium meetings, Lou talks about how he was gradually pushing MC in order to increase her powers.

In Book 3 Chapter 14, Lou realizes that he is the reincarnation of Vanum and MC is the reincarnation of Vane. He then starts to regret all of the things he has done to MC as Vane and Vanum were originally friends and not enemies. After feeling guilty, Lou decides to go rescue MC. He leads all the princes and Dia to the Iritium stronghold where she and Christoph are being held captive. They all then rescue MC and Christoph and bring them back to the academy.

### Nedhi

Lou is Nedhi's master. They were both members of Iritium. However, Lou ended up betraying Nedhi when he decided to lead everyone to the Iritium stronghold where MC and Christoph were being held captive. Lou also restrained Nedhi and broke his cursed artifact.

### Toa Qelsum

At first, Toa is very respectful towards Lou. However, after it is revealed that Lou is a part of Iritium, Toa becomes wary towards him.

### Traeta

Lou is aware that she has tapped into the monitoring magic that covers the Isle of Colde. He is also aware that she is hiding Lunas. However, Lou hasn't gotten rid of her since he doesn't feel like she has inconvenienced him.
