Due to his aggressive nature, he is the terrifying and stern Northern Duke Dietrich Reinke, whom no one dares to approach easily.
In reality, he’s ‘just’ a cat-person.
No expressions, no words, always looks grumpy?
That’s because he’s a cat.
Extremely hates when plans go wrong?
That’s because he’s a cat.
Obsessed with his territory?
Of course. Cats are territorial animals.
Cats naturally create their own routines and plans,
And get irritated when those aren’t followed.
So this typical Northern Duke is just…
Simply a very ordinary cat.
But only his aide Ruan knows this truth.
People who don’t know mistake the Duke’s very cat-like behavior
For ‘the Northern Duke’s ferocity.’
“Your Grace, please speak in human language.
When you keep expressing yourself in cat language, humans misunderstand because they don’t understand…”

“I didn’t become an aide to clean up cat hair! I quit!”
Finally losing patience, Ruan shouted while throwing the lint roller. The Duke, watching Ruan, opened his mouth.
“You.”
Calling Ruan in a deep, solemn voice, the Duke suggested with the same serious expression he wore when executing traitors:
“Would you like… to touch my paw pads?”
