The Hilkoff family is one of the richest families in the whole Gedia kingdom. They have a whole lot of estates and businesses all around the world. They have been a loyal aid to the royal family for centuries now.
[Lucas Asher Hilkoff.
Bears the title 'Duke Hilkoff.
25 years old.
Unmarried.]
Lucas lost his parents in a fire when he was six. Due to his father's death, his uncle temporarily managed their estates and all their businesses. Lucas, being the only legitimate heir and swallowed by his sense of responsibility, studied himself to the bone every day at a very young age. Because of that, he was unable to do what kids his age does.
When he turned 18, after all his hard work, he was crowned the title 'Duke Hilkoff'.
After getting the duke title, his work increased. He worked and worked harder than before. His sleep was never enough.
Because of his workaholic self, his uncle would get worried and take his work from time to time for Lucas to rest.
Every time he was at rest, he would swing his sword on the training ground.
Sometimes if Gerret was around, they would often spar with each other.
[Valter Gerret.
The duke's friend.
28 years old
The third son of Viscount Gerret.]
Lucas met Gerret when he was sixteen in a coming of age ceremony.
Lucas has a handsome face when he was younger... But he was unapproachable.
He had this gloomy aura around him and his eyes were as if dead.
No one would dare to dance with him.
He goes outside to the balcony to get some fresh air but then, a stranger approached him out of nowhere.
Lucas looked at him surprised.
The stranger was a boy around his age slightly taller than him. He has slightly long platinum blonde hair. His eyes were as blue as a morning sky and his skin was pale like that of a lady. He was very pretty.
Their personality and aura were the exact opposite.
"Hello."
Lucas turned his gaze away from him and tried to ignore him.
The boy got closer to him.
"May I accompany you?"
".....Do what you want."
"My name 's Valter, Valter Gerret. What's yours?"
Lucas took a while to answer.
"....I- It's L-Lucas."
He stuttered.
Valter smiled brightly.
This encounter made Lucas very happy... because this was the very first time someone approached him with such friendliness.
After the ceremony, the two started seeing each other often. Valter would always pop out of the window in Lucas's study or his bedroom to invite him to go and hang out.
As Lucas grew and became older, he became taller and more well built. He quickly outgrew his friend.
Valter was popular with the ladies. Sometimes, he would use Lucas as a shield to ward away girls when they go out, and it was very effective. The girls would leave him alone because they would get scared. Valter would just laugh after.
They had lots of fun time together.
Their friendship lasts even until now.
