Ludwig Hewitt

Born into a merchant family in the Tearmoon Empire, this brilliant young man originally aspired to a career in government. However, discovering the deep-seated corruption within the nobility fueled his intense resentment toward the ruling class. Though he once worked as a distant tax official, his perspective shifted toward Princess Mia after witnessing her unique wisdom. Now a devoted retainer and disciple of the Wandering Sage, he uses his intellect to champion her cause and help rebuild the empire.
