Hollin does not have a last name. She is the sharpest sword in the empire and the last traitor to the Balkes family. During the Battle of Inkeburg, she lost one of her hands and replaced it with a pair of stainless steel prosthetics. After the war, she discovered that her father did not die by the barbarian sword, but by the king's secret order; the decades of war in the north were just fuel for the royal family to maintain its rule. The lives of the soldiers who shielded her from arrows were not as good as those of a war horse in the eyes of the powerful. She doesn't want to be a hero, she just wants to make those who shouldn't be kneeling stand up. She raised the eagle flag in the north and made the entire empire an enemy.
Heinrich has no name. She was dragged out of the lie in the Gota Snow Mountain. The Holy See made her a "god envoy" and the Holy See made her a god.

Hollin was the only person she had ever met who wasn't hypocritical. She was willing to be the fuel for that fire. She told the believers in front of Byron's Cathedral: "The Holy See is fake." Then she was tied to the stake and shouted in the flames: "Everything Holling said is true!"
Edwin had no way out. He is Huolin's brother and builds a wall for her with codes. When Huo Lin decides to smash the old world, he must choose: protect his family or protect his sister? He expelled Huolin from the family, announced that the Balkes family would no longer serve the throne, and then secretly conspired with his sister to use her blood to drain the last drop of the royal family's legitimacy. The night Horin conquered Plantagenet, he stood in the throne room and stabbed her heart with a silver pen. She smiled and said, "Brother, thank you." He didn't cry. This is their last common blow
