### History

Bern is Chase's younger brother and the second prince. He is the Queen's son Diena Chloe. His name means 'unforgettable hero'. Bern was a knight and one of only six Sword Masters on the continent. He died at war in the original timeline and reincarnated as the third prince of Cyries in the current timeline. "Bern" existence in the current timeline has been erased. Before the reincarnation, he knew the nobles of Secritia would not let Chase live if he became king, so he gave up the throne to him after taking an oath of knighthood. However, in the process of trying to save his brother, he made a deal with his father, Debeullan and became a tool (assassin) to eliminate political rivals or threats. Due to that, his personality was greatly distorted. During his childhood, he had a very childish and kind personality, he couldn't sleep alone and there was times where he cried because he was scared of riding horses. But when he grew up, his personality changed to a fairly ferocious and bloody personality. He had a great self-loathing and usually thought 'I can't be a good person because I took the lives of others for what I wanted'. After his father's death, he suffered from PTSD to the point where Chase had to send him out of the palace for several years in a sense of giving him some space to cool off his head and get fresh air. He did not overcome all his mental scars but came back with some peace of mind. During that time he became the youngest sword master at the age of 21. He served as an escort for his older brother and king, Chase, until he was killed in war at the age of 26.

Bern has great wrath towards his father, the King of Secritia. His hate started when Debeullan brought Chase and Bern who was ten years old at that time to the sea, and threw Bern into the vast sea to test what Chase, the son of Concubine, thought of Bern, the son of the Queen, and to install fear into Bern as a King. Bern could not swim and seeing this, Chase jumped in with no hesitation to save him despite the fact that Chase cannot swim either, in the end they were both saved by the Knight Taylan.
