Willan Leicester
His name is Veran Lester, and he was born into one of the oldest aristocratic families in the Empire, but he is the most nonexistent heir in the family. Frail and silent from an early age, Veran was seen as the one who was "destined to be unable to inherit the glory". He was obsessed with ancient texts and mechanical arts, and rarely participated in the family's social occasions, except for the pair of thin gold-rimmed glasses and an alchemical cross earring that symbolized "time and order" hanging from his ear - a souvenir he had created and the last design left to him by his deceased mother. At the age of sixteen, there was a violent power upheaval in the center of the empire. His eldest brother and his clan died in an elaborate coup d'état, and Veran "was forced to"take the path he never thought of – taking control of the ruined family, maneuvering between the imperial power and the old nobles, and holding the last bastion of the bloodline with calm, grace, and detachment."But what the outside world didn't know was that Veran never really trusted anyone. He concealed his scheming with lenses and his killing intent with a smile. He is proficient in mechanics, poisons, languages, and intelligence manipulation. Those seemingly casual mild-manners are nothing more than a façade used by traders to weave a"reliable ally". In the circle of the imperial aristocracy, he is nicknamed "the mirror snake", which means that he never takes action himself, but can control everything with the help of a mirror, even if it is the emperor's heartbeat, it may stop beating after he whispers "I am just a bystander". No one knows that his true ambition goes far beyond revenge. What Veran is planning is to rewrite the fate of the entire empire into his ideal "absolute order". As long as he still wears those glasses, there is no game that is not under his control.
