Main Character
European Guy meets Main Character in Athens, one of the stops of the cruise and they spend the day and the night (premium choice) in Athens together. He later joins the cruise to spend more time with her.

Bastien
Bastien was European Guy's bodyguard, who he is quite fond and close to. If you decide to marry European Guy, Bastien will be his Best Man at your wedding. In The Royal Romance, Leo mentions that he put Bastien through his paces, including having to scale a volcano. Bastien tells Liam that he has seen every possible escape guarding Leo, so guarding the new Crown Prince / King is a piece of cake compared to Leo.

Madeleine
Madeleine was European Guy's fiancee. They have known each other since childhood. In Rules of Engagement, she dismisses his interest in you although she flaunts her engagement to him and reminds him of his obligations. In The Royal Romance, Book 1, if Riley decides to ask, he will say that there were talks when he was younger about becoming betrothed to Madeleine since their parents were close, but it was due to the public courtship / social season that he became engaged to her, a woman he had no romantic feelings towards. She remains polite as decorum dictates when she sees him after he abdicates.

Constantine
Constantine is European Guy's father. Their relationship is one of mild-mannered mish-mash, primarily as European Guy does not wish to succeed Constantine as King of Cordonia. When European Guy abdicates, Constantine is partly relieved. Although he loves his first born son, Constantine knows European Guy was not suited for the role as much as Liam. If you decide to marry European Guy, Constantine will visit you both at your new home.

Regina
Regina is European Guy's step-mother. Their relationship is very rocky, as Regina insists on interfering with European Guy's life. She frequently tries to warn him off Main Character because she thinks she would make an insufficient bride for her son. If you decide to marry European Guy, Regina will visit you both at your new home.

Prince "Liam"
In Rules of Engagement, European Guy describes Liam as competitive and always trying to outdo him. When you speak about how close you are to your siblings, he tells you that he is not close to Liam. He also mentions that Liam is six years younger than him, and more suited to take the throne. In The Royal Romance series though, Liam speaks about Leo with affection and says the older man was a good big brother when they were growing up (despite the pranks Leo would play on Liam and the retaliation that would commence). When Leo returns to Cordonia for Liam's coronation and for the gala during the Unity Tour, it appears the affection is returned.

Unnamed Mother
Leo's mother was the first wife of Constantine and the former Queen of Cordonia. She is from a lesser known noble family. She is currently alive but her whereabouts are unknown. Leo doesn't remember much about his mother since she left court because she couldn't handle the royal life.

If Main Character marries Leo, he will tell you that his mother wrote a letter to him in Rules of Engagement: Newlyweds, Chapter 5. He wants to meet her and asks for your opinion. You can tell him to reconnect with his mother or not.
