Shadybelga is Regis’s father and the head of the Din family, a fallen noble. He is 32 years old, with golden hair and blue eyes, and a timid, good-natured appearance that contrasts with his imposing name. He handles most of the territory’s administrative work himself, making him popular among the citizens but often overworked. He married Sefina when she was 15, causing some social friction, and he is regularly scolded and dominated by both his wife and the servant Walkins. He is not particularly suspicious of Regis’s precociousness, accepting his son’s unusual maturity as a blessing. He worries about finances and often suffers from Sefina’s disciplinary actions after discovering his hidden book collections. Despite his meekness, he is a responsible ruler who tries his best to maintain the territory.
