■ Main Characters

Heine Wittgenstein
Heine is the royal tutor to the four princes. He is mistaken for a child, but is a fully grown man. Contrary to his youthful appearance, Heine has deep knowledge and insight, and is an important presence in supporting the growth of the princes. Although his educational policy is strict, he respects the individuality of the princes and places emphasis on bringing out the talents of each one.
- Kai von Glanzreich's second prince. He has a mean look in his eyes and is often misunderstood. He likes squishy things. Contrary to his tough appearance, Kai has a kind personality and loves animals and nature. His growth is depicted as the process of coming to terms with his inner self through Heine's guidance.
- Bruno von Glanzreich, third prince. Polite and intelligent. He respects Heine and calls him "master." With his knowledge and politeness, Bruno understands the responsibilities of a prince and faithfully follows Heine's teachings. His respect for Heine is the driving force behind his growth.
Leonhardt von Glanzreich, the fourth prince. He hates teachers. Recently he has learned to add and subtract. Leonhardt initially rejected Heine's instruction, but gradually began to understand its value. His growth is the result of Heine's patient guidance and his own efforts.
・Licht von Glanzreich, the fifth prince. He is narcissistic and frivolous. However, he also has a lonely and childish side. Licht is often misunderstood due to his appearance and behavior, but deep down he is a kind person who cherishes his family and friends. His growth is depicted as a process of discovering his own true value through Heine's guidance.
- First Prince Ivan Aleksandrovich Romano. The jackknife prince who hurts everyone he touches. Ivan overwhelms those around him with his cold-hearted personality and sharp words, but through Heine's guidance, he begins to understand the meaning of his actions.
- Second Prince Eugene Alexandrovich Romano. A prince with a negative mindset and a dark side. Eugene cannot escape from his negative thoughts, but through Heine's guidance, he is shown trying to find his own value.
