Sion Sol Sunkland

* Light Novel
* Manga
* Anime

## Background

Sion Sol Sunkland is the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Sunkland.

## Personality

Sion Sol Sunkland is generally a composed and refined young man, with a polite, friendly and inviting demeanor. Behind his warm mannerism, however lies a strong sense of justice imparted into him since his early childhood. As a result Sion, is intolerant of injustice of any kind, be it corruption, abuse of power, social status or privilege, unfair treatment, or oppression.

This strong sense of justice, is, however, Sion's greatest weakness as well, as it gives him severe tunnel vision. Once he sees a perceived wrongdoing, he is extremely prone to quick judgement, and find immediate fault on whoever he believes to be on the wrong. This makes him reckless, impulsive and inconsiderate, as his first course of action is generally to resort to force, to enact his sense of justice, irrespective of the potential consequences. He also doesn't stop to think that the wrongdoers might possible be rehabilitated or given the chance to do things differently and better and make up for their mistakes, which is best evidenced by how he sent Mia to the guillotine without ever hearing to what she had to say even once in previous timelines.

This also extended on the current timeline when he believed Abel to engage on oppression of the masses without properly listening to how he felt about the entire ordeal, and quickly challenged Abel to a duel with the intention of killing him for his perceived transgressions. It wasn't until he learned the truth of the plot and Mia's "punishment" that he started to reevaluate his sense of justice, as he realized that everyone, including himself could fail, but that was not in itself, reason to deny them a chance at redemption.

## Appearance

Sion Sol Sunkland has silver hair and cool, clear eyes rounded out his handsome features, which were further accentuated by a voice laced with honey. Many people described him to be handsome and perfect in every way.

## Relationships

* Abram Sol Sunkland: The king of Sunkland and Sion's father whom he respects.
* Keithwood: Sion's trusted bodyguard and valet. It is stated that they grew up together like siblings.

#### Saint-Noel Academy

* Mia Luna Tearmoon: The relationship between Mia and Sion in the first timeline was a bitter one, with him being the hero who issued an execution upon the tyrannical fiend, Mia. In the first timeline, Sion was disgusted at Mia's behavior while Mia believed that they were meant to be together. The prince always avoided Mia to look for Tiona and was extremely annoyed at her persistent. He didn't spare Mia after Ludwig pleaded for her life, but he came to regret it later. In the second timeline, Sion is impressed when he witnesses Mia stopping the bullying of Tiona Rudolvon, and he sees that there is more to her than what he's heard. He quickly develops feelings for her which evolves into love with Mia and he finds himself charmed by her wisdom and intelligence. When he sees Mia works hard to change her empire, Sion is inspired to do the same. It is unknown to him that Mia held a grudge against him, but that grudge eventually faded. Mia sees Sion as a dear friend, and their sweet friendship is something Mia never dream having in the previous timeline. They trust each other and has rescued one another in several occasions. After Remno Revolution, both Mia and Sion dropped their royal titles and address each other by their first names. Sion likes to tease Mia to get a reaction out of her and he initiates his moves on her such as being the first person she dances with at her birthday ball.  Thanks to Tiona's motivating words, Sion begins to step up his game for Mia. Even though he is in love with Mia, Sion is willing to choose Sunkland and his family over the princess's affection, knowing that he couldn't throw away his duty as its future king to marry Mia in Tearmoon. When Mia realizes that Sion is in love with him, but he's holding back his feelings, she encourages him to be truthful with his feelings and get it out in the opening. She is able to turn him down gently which he appreciates, and he is impressed that Mia was able to see through him.
* Tiona Rudolvon: In the first timeline, he and Tiona were the prime figures who had Mia executed. It is still unknown if Sion loved Tiona in the previous timeline because Sion put Mia to death *for* Tiona, and in Tiona's "dreams", they were intimate in their letters and she was also in love with him. In the current timeline, Tiona encourages Sion to make a move on Mia when he still can and he considers it.
* Abel Remno: Sion's friend and rival. They spar with each other when there is a chance, such as during the Swordsmanship Tournament, Remno Revolution, or in their free time alone. Throughout the series, the two friends have a casual relationship and both threw away their princely titles and address each other simply by their first names. Abel is also someone whom Sion is jealous of for Mia's attention and affection. In Volume 9, he challenges Abel in a duel regarding Mia's affections, and he is defeated.

* **Swordsmanship**: Sion is a prodigy when it comes to handling swords and he has been trained to use one since he was a child. His skills are in pars with the adults.
* **Horsemanship**: Sion can ride a horse and has been using horses in Horsemanship Club with Abel.
* **Dancing**: He is good at dancing, simply because Sion is someone who is perfect in every way.

## Trivia

* Sion's birthday is still yet to be revealed, but in Volume 9 when Tiona asked him when was his birthday, he replied "10 days ago". The annual season in Volume 8-9 is summer, either from Late July till Mid-August. Mia's birthday is in the winter, so that makes Sion a few months older. Plus, Saint-Noel students attend school in spring the year they turn 13, so that makes Sion already 12 in volume 1 and turning 13 in volume 2.
* In the first popularity contest, he ranked in fourteenth place.
