The Royal Tutor is not a BL or yaoi, and I don’t see the deliberate BL subtext in this book. There are two guys in the book, and you can ship either one. I would recommend The Royal Tutor to people who like a more realistic yaoi story. It has some elements of both. You can ship two guys, and it’s not as depressing as many other yaoi drabbles.
Heine Wittgenstein
Heine Wittgenstein is the titular royal tutor of a series that follows four young princes and their father, the King of Glazreich. Heine has a difficult task: to turn four young princes into capable heirs to the throne. His students are notorious for their complex personalities, and Heine is often misunderstood. To get his job done, he must turn them into worthy students, and the plot is interestingly complex.
The plot involves four princes: the first prince, Ivan, is a brawling, aloof, and scary guy. He’s been suspended from a military academy for beating a student who had bullied his brother. His temperament is even-tempered, but his naturally sharp eyes give him the appearance of a glaring man. Heine and the princes’ relationship becomes more complicated as the boys grow older and his reputation for being aloof and obnoxious grows.
Ralf von Fuchs
While the titular role of Ralf von Fuchs in The Royal Tutor is played by Justin Briner, it is a Japanese character, Keito Okuyama, who has also voiced the character in the English dub. Behind The Voice Actors is an unofficial website and all images, video, and audio clips are the property of the respective owners. Ralf von Fuchs is an unsavory character.
Ralf von Fuchs is a former military academy student. He is currently imprisoned, charged with attempted ransom. His slim build, short wavy blond hair, and sharp, dark eyes make him appear frightening to others. While Bruno may be the favored student of the king, Ralf is a man of mystery. But he is not the only one who is mysterious.
Princess Adele
The titular royal tutor, Heine, is a stern man with a gentle disposition. He is often mistaken for a child, and is often a bit scary. His personality is a bit aloof, as he does not show emotion and has a lot of talent. He is also very kind to his charges, though he is not exactly a gentle person. In the past, Heine was violent and was accused of being a criminal.
The Everest-Pride Prince
When Leonhard, the Everest-Pride Prince, is forced to attend a private school, he is horrified by the young prince’s high-handed behavior and aloof demeanor. However, Heine is not easily intimidated and explains that teaching is his job. He interviews the princes one by one, beginning with Leonhard, the “Everest-Pride Prince.”
The fourth prince, Leonard, is also called the “Everest-Pride Prince.” He is beautiful on the outside, but his inner arrogance reveals itself when he speaks. Heine, a fellow student, quickly learns that Leonard is a better student than his older brother, Bruno. As a result, the Everest-Pride Prince has trouble speaking and is unable to communicate effectively.
