Eduard Markgraf von Sekt nahe Braunschweig

This Article Contains Content From Wikipedia. Eduard Markgraf von Sekt nahe Braunschweig (エドヴァルド), nicknamed Ed, is the main character in Gin'yū Mokushiroku Meine Liebe. His title Markgraf means Marquis.

His father had an illegal affair with a woman of a lower rank, resulting in Ed and Erika (Ed's little sister). After his mother died, his father took him into his house. However, he was already married with three girls, all of whom were older than Ed. Henriette Braunschweig (Ed's stepmother) hated Ed because she wasn't able to give birth to a male heir to the Braunschweig family assets, going as far as telling her daughters not to speak with their two step-siblings. Eventually, Ed's father had Erika removed from the house to appease his wife and her whereabouts are unknown. Ed is still burdened by this because he had promised his sister that he would protect her, and was unable to fulfill that promise.

Ed's appearance is unlike that of the other nobles in the series. He goes with his neck uncovered, he is more tanned than the others and has an earring. Ed is very cheerful and likes to take things easy. He is also the comic relief throughout the series, with his attempts at meditation and kendo. He makes friends easily and wears his heart on his sleeve, though he does not care what other people think about him. He is a good swordsman but is not above using his fists in a fight, another thing that distinguishes him from the other nobles.
