Leon Adonis Coronaria, Trading Prince of Anemone Kingdom and Pride's soon-to-be ex-fiancé.
Leon was rumored as a
playboy and a
philanderer. Yet the villagers wanted his support because he was the appointed perfect Prince who would be crowned as a King one day soon. Leon's desire was to be praised by his citizens and monopolize them. He's a closeted narcissist at best. Leon was attracted to Pride's love for her kingdom, similar to what he truly likes, and that is what he truly ever wanted for a woman he desires. Pride understands through his fake smile under the facade. But Leon was a green flag (he's a good guy overall gets treated as a red flag despite himself faking his true self), is where Pride doesn't wanna deal with him because she gets traumatized for having nightmares about how she sadistically
abused Leon on the game timeline.
In the original timeline, Pride manipulates Leon just to be shunned away from his hometown after his reputation was ruined by his two brothers Homer and Erwin, and feels betrayed. Locked him into a secluded room after they got officially engaged, then Pride psychologically tortured him, which drove Leon insane to make Leon fear her until Tiara came to save him.
But in this current phenomenon, Leon was such a
Casanova. He can easily flirt things out and seduce Pride (but he's just also playing pretend because he never wanted to get engaged in a neighborhood kingdom in the first place.)
So Pride set up Leon to save his reputation by giving him a warning not fall into a trap after he went too fast on getting Pride jumped onto his arms. Leon understood that assignment by making a pinky promise but he broke it when he didn't follow Pride's warning from her precognition. Yet Leon realized he genuinely did love her by the time.
Back at the tavern, where he fell from the trap. Leon finds himself getting drunk or being drugged make a harsh news for those who witness that he was an incompetent, womanizer Prince. But Val saves Leon as a form of kidnapping him to protect Leon from those shady people and to clear his reputation, then meanwhile, the citizens find out that Prince Leon is missing, but Val sent the Prince while he was still unconscious for passed out in the tavern. So Pride asked Val to monitor the Prince while Pride was investigating Leon's case who drugged him at the village.
After she closed his case and cleared his bad reputation,
Pride ended her engagement with him. She also wanted to form an alliance with the Anemone Kingdom, so she didn't wanna risk the chance of losing Leon as her business partner.
At the end, Pride and Leon are still friends and writing letters back and forth. But Leon is more invested in Val because he is the one who saved him from a potential threat or ambush.
