Ludwig Hewitt

Background
is a government official in the Tearmoon Empire that tirelessly worked to save the empire when it was suffering from economic collapse. He is the second son of a mercantile family, had always been a bright spark ever since he was a young boy. He’d always dreamed of becoming a government official, but it didn’t take him long to realize just how rotten to the core the Tearmoon Empire was after he began studying towards that goal. It was because of this that he truly despised those blueblooded nobles and the members of the Imperial Family, those who brag about their high-birth.

Appearance
has smooth hair that is just long enough to cover his ears, and he wears a pair of foreign-made glasses. Behind the small lenses his eyes sparkle with intellect.

Tearmoon Empire

 * Mia Luna Tearmoon: In the first timeline, he hated Mia because she was an ignorant princess. Even though he couldn't stand her, he still stuck around trying to help her get back on track, but everything was already too late. While attending Mia around the empire, he realized that Mia was just oblivious to situations unless someone pointed it out to her. When she realized her mistake, Mia was willing to work to fix her mistake. One time being when Mia forgot what her classmate looked like, so Ludwig scolded her. He found her notebook later and was shocked to see her effort in trying to remember people's names and faces. Another time was when she asked Ludwig for a cake to share with the angry villagers who drove them out. Instead of keeping the theoretic cake to herself, she wanted to share them. He noticed no matter how cowardly Mia was, she never flee. She may not be the greatest learner, but she listened attentively. Ludwig knew Mia was trying, at least, and she deserved a second chance to amend her mistakes. He had hopes for her, and started dreaming that if there was another timeline, he would like to be there for Mia. After Mia's execution, Ludwig refused to serve Sion and left the political world ever since. In the current timeline, Ludwig is extremely loyal to Mia and he is terminally ill with Mia-itis. He is delusional and believes Mia to be a saint. When he first met Mia, he gave off a cold attitude towards her, asking her if she knew how much her meal is worth. To his surprise, Mia knew and proceeded to shower him with (plagiarized) answers. Ludwig is amazed and he pledged his loyal to Mia without a second thought. Mia never fails to impress Ludwig as the story progresses. Not only does she impresses him with her humbleness, she also points out what Ludwig didn't consider when working to fix the empire. Ludwig later realizes that it isn't Mia's wisdom that he swears his loyalty to. He is loyal to the essence of Mia.
 * Miabel Luna Tearmoon: In Miabel's timeline, Ludwig educated Bel on various subjects after the empire fell. Ludwig saw Bel like his own granddaughter and looked out to her. In the current timeline, Bel is fond of Ludwig and he tutors her sometimes whenever Mia asks.
 * Dion Alaia: They are friends and lifelong buddies who are parts of Mia's band of four. Dion comes to Ludwig's several occasions and often visit Ludwig's office just to slack off.
 * Balthazar Brandt: A friend of Ludwig who is a noble.
 * Galvanus Arminios: Ludwig studied under Galv and he respects his teacher very much.

Sunkland Empire

 * Sion Sol Sunkland: In the previous timeline, Ludwig pleaded with Sion to spare Mia's life, but he refused. Before Mia's execution, he asked Ludwig to work for him to rebuild the empire, but Ludwig refused, saying he can't see himself serving either Tiona or Sion.
