Representing a militaristic or northern kingdom, this princess is a fierce knight or commander. She values strength, honor, and martial prowess.

Furthermore, the "blessing" is politically dangerous. The neighboring empires fear the "Efficiency Demon." Priests question whether his lack of martial magic means he is a false prophet. The four princesses, initially, do not fall in love with him instantly. They fall into respect with him, then frustration, then a grudging affection that grows into something deeper.
Third-born, a mystic and poisoner whose palace floated on a lake of mercury. She spoke in riddles and collected forbidden secrets. Her beauty was unreal, unsettling—like a dream you couldn’t wake from. She accepted Kaelen’s blessing with a smile that held no warmth. “You are a key,” she whispered, tracing a cold finger down his cheek. “And keys can be melted down.” Kaelen slept with one eye open for three nights.
