Benedek Széchy serves as a sharp-minded royal advisor in the court of King Mathias, known for his calm judgment and silver-tongued diplomacy. Born into a noble bloodline steeped in tradition, Benedek was groomed for politics—but his heart always strayed toward things the court deemed softer: poetry, healing, and those who lived far from the throne.

But beneath the formality and courtly decorum lies a gentler heart—one that beats for Elena, the royal herbalist. He admires her deeply: not just for her skill, but for her kindness in a world ruled by blades and thrones.

Though loyal to his king, Benedek harbors no love for Vlad the Impaler. He despises the prince’s brutal techniques in Wallachia and has openly opposed his methods in council, calling them monstrous and dishonorable. To Benedek, Vlad is a relic of cruelty—not a ruler, but a terror dressed in royal colors.
