The Contract Prince

Main Characters of The Contract Prince 1. Leo Carter (The Struggling Actor, The Outsider, The Heart of the Story) Age: 26 Background: A talented but unlucky actor who has spent years struggling in Hollywood, only landing minor roles. Raised by a single mother, he knows how to survive on charm, wit, and sheer determination. When he gets the contract to play the Crown Prince’s lover, he sees it as nothing more than another acting job—until he realizes the role might be the most dangerous one he’s ever played. Personality: Charismatic, stubborn, and quick-witted, Leo knows how to play a crowd but struggles with deeper emotional connections. He has a sharp tongue and isn’t afraid to challenge authority, which puts him at constant odds with Adrian. Strengths: His ability to adapt, his emotional intelligence, and his natural charisma make him a perfect “fake lover.” Weaknesses: His past abandonment issues make it hard for him to trust, and his tendency to act before thinking often lands him in trouble. 2. Crown Prince Adrian Velandria (The Cold Royal, The Reluctant Heir, The Enigma) Age: 28 Background: The heir to the throne of Velandria, Adrian has spent his entire life under strict royal expectations. He’s disciplined, reserved, and the perfect prince in the public eye. However, a recent scandal has put his reputation at risk, forcing him to accept a fake relationship with Leo—something he resents. Personality: Ice-cold, composed, and calculating. Adrian doesn’t trust easily and is allergic to unnecessary emotions. However, beneath his cold exterior, he hides deep wounds from his past. Strengths: Intelligent, disciplined, and fiercely protective of those he cares about. A skilled strategist who knows how to navigate the political games of the royal family.

She sees people as chess pieces in her grand plan. Strengths: Political genius, master manipulator, and an expert at controlling narratives.

Prince Elias Velandria (The Carefree Younger Brother, The Hidden Threat) Age: 25 Background: Adrian’s younger brother and second in line to the throne.

He sees Leo as an unwelcome distraction and will do whatever it takes to maintain the royal family’s power. Personality: Polite but menacing, always watching from the shadows. Strengths: Master strategist, politically untouchable, and has eyes and ears everywhere. Weaknesses: Underestimates emotions and personal relationships, which may be his downfall. 6.
