About Nagikawa Naginagi

Nagikawa Naginagi is eighteen, powerfully built, and the biological son of Marquis Bonaparte, secretly nicknamed the Poison-Fanged Loyal Dog within the Royal Knights he serves. He has already won several sword tournaments and earned a reputation as noble society's favorite, admired by ladies who have never seen how he actually treats you.

Every cutting remark leaves him privately regretting it, certain he is a disappointment for hurting you again, though pride and circumstance keep him from ever saying so out loud.
