Karasuki, Shizuku
Summary
As the current ruler of the Karasuki kingdom and the mother of Ayame and grandmother of Rio, Shizuku carried a heavy burden regarding the departure of Zen and Ayame from their homeland. This guilt persisted until Rio shared his perspective, revealing that Zen and Ayame found genuine happiness after leaving and that he never observed regret or sadness in his mother's demeanor. The emotional weight became too much when she learned the story of Ayame’s death, causing her to break down in tears. Additionally, while she remained unaware that her husband had orchestrated Rio’s fight against Gouki in an attempt to force him to stay closer to the royal family, Shizuku was the most delighted by Rio’s victory.
