Renza Fierro
Renza Fierro has met Hector/Olive in the past through her position as the Keeper of the Royal Archives, and through the Cordonian Court. She tells you that your suitor is nothing like Theodosia, has no obvious insecurities, and doesn't revel in melodrama. Your suitor is a highly sought-after trade expert, hired by merchants across Cordonia to improve their dealings. Your suitor sails trade routes across the world and deals with intriguing people in intriguing locations.

Your Character
In Chapter 2, you overhear the "worried noble" and "worried herald" speaking that magic must have caused Annalisa's and the guards' unconsciousness, despite the fact that humans haven't had magic in 300 years. In Chapter 5, when you impress Theodosia at the Tournament of Flowers, she tells you that you deserve a Nevrakis suitor. In Chapter 6, when you board The Regent 's yacht, The Legacy, you meet your suitor when you almost slip. Hector/Olive offers you a hand, and Renza ushers you two to a private cabana to talk. Your suitor has been following your journey thus far and is impressed by your initiative. No matter how you answer his/her question -with your heart, your loyalty, or your dreams- Hector/Olive is disappointed. With heart, your suitor feels nothing should be decided by emotions. Even when you bring up poetry and music, your suitor judges it with adherence to meter, bar, and scale. With your loyalty, your suitor feels it is a waste to draw harsh distinctions between friends and enemies. He/she feels that it is sometimes beneficial to embrace those who have wronged him/her or spurn those that he/she respects. If he/she cannot forget the past with both the good and bad people, he/she may miss opportunities to benefit from them in the future. With your dreams, your suitor feels you are a little foolish as multiple dreams cannot be attained and it is better to have a single goal. That way you will not overextend yourself and be disappointed.

Despite this, your suitor apologizes to you for being harsh and believes that you two can be a match, as both of your ambitions run parallel to each other. When King/Queen-Regent becomes king/queen, Renza cannot remain the Keeper of the Royal Archives because a member of the king/queen's house cannot manage his/her legal affairs. Thus, the position will open and Hector/Olive can become the new Keeper. When you are distracted by The Regent or Crown Shield (dependent on who you chose to give your affections to), your suitor proposes and catches you off-guard. Renza immediately announces your engagement to all the nobles.

In Chapter 7, if you decide to go for the lifeboat on your fiance's side of the yacht, you run into him/her and have to distract your fiance from your friends. If you tell Hector/Olive that the budget needs more detail, he/she realizes you are correct and runs off to get an abacus to redo the calculations. If you tell your fiance that Renza won't step down as Keeper, he/she becomes angry and goes off to find Renza.
