— Anastasius to Eglantine in Part 4 Volume 2, “Honest Courting”
| ||
Anastasius (アナスタージウス, Anasutaajiusu) is the second prince of the Kingdom of Yurgenschmidt[6]. He recently graduated from the Royal Academy[7].
Appearance
Anastasius has gray eyes and blond hair. Rozemyne describes him as very handsome, saying that he must have “come from a long line of stunning people to end up looking like this”[6].
Personality
As a high-ranking noble, Anastasius usually appears self-assured and collected in public. He is used to being accommodated because of his royal status, and he takes an imperious attitude toward those lower in rank. In private, he tends to speak more bluntly and is more inclined to let his emotions show.
Anastasius cares deeply for Eglantine and becomes very emotional when she is involved. He loves to talk about her (whether or not the other person wants to hear it[8]) and becomes jealous very easily[9]. He is not particularly ambitious, and he is willing to put his love for Eglantine over his chances at becoming the next king[10].
While he can often be inconsiderate and demanding, he is not unkind. He shows leniency toward Rozemyne despite her often disrespectful attitude, and when walking with her to his villa, he is willing to slow down to match her pace rather than go ahead without her.[11].
History
Prince Anastasius is the second prince of Yurgenschmidt. Because he and his older brother Prince Sigiswald both have a claim to the throne, it was long expected that they would compete over the right to succeed the current king[9].
