He is blunt.
"Kouen-dear, you should take some rest after all those paperworks," you suggested, pressing your lips together, staring at the tired first prince of Kou.
"No."
He is merciless.
"Kouen! Please just show some mercy for this clan!" You begged, "there's children and elders!"
"So what?" He asked, "they refused to become part of the Kou empire, they perish. Simple as that."
He is stony.
"Kouen! It's just a simple mistake done by the maid! There's no reason to fire her!" You yelled angrily, "she has a family to support!"
"If she serves me, she have to do it well," he said plainly, "mistakes will not be tolerated."
He uses fear for power.
"If the army is not trained well after a week, punishments will be sent out," he said, "is that clear?"
"Y-Yes, you highness!" Stuttered the general, before bowing and leaving the throne room.
"Kouen, you can't scare the general like that," you scolded, "the whole palace staff is terrified of you!"
"As long as the job is done, I don't care."
He is commanding.
"Get the bath ready."
"Hurry up, what's taking you so long?"
"Kouen-dear," you said desperately, "the order was only given 1 minute ago..."
He doesn't enough spend time with you.
"Kouen~ it's such a good day," you said smiling, "let's go for a walk!"
"I have a meeting to attend to," he said mono-toned, ".....sorry."
However...
He is always there when you were sad.
Kouen walked into your shared room, as he saw you bundled up, shaking, as you cried.
He patted lightly on your back, before hugging you, until your sobs has reduced to small hiccups.
"It's okay," he whispered, "I'm here."
He does not flirt with other women.
"It's darling Kouen," gushed one of the princesses of a foreign kingdom, "are you still... single?"
"No," said Kouen bored, "we are here to discuss about the economy of our kingdoms, not here to see who's free."
He gives thoughtful gifts.
He tucked a Phoenix hairpin to fix the loose strands of your hair, "happy birthday (Y/N)."
He is protective.
"(Y/N), you are not coming to the dragon festival, you are staying in the bedroom, sleeping."
"Why can't I come!?" You complained, "I love festivals, and you know I do!"
"Just in case someone tries to hit on you," explained Kouen, "there's always next year (Y/N)."
He cares about your health.
"(Y/N), while I'm away on a business trip to (Country name), please remember to eat, drink lots of water, wear enough clothes, stay hygienic, stay away from other men and-"
"Kouen!!"
It's always you first.
"The air is starting to get chilly," he stated.
"Yes it is," you said shivering a little.
Kouen took off his coat before placing it on your shoulders, "you need to stay warm."
"What about you dear?" You asked.
"It's okay for a man to get a little bit cold."
Kouen has his quirks, no one is perfect. Yet, he has his own type of perfection, and that's why you love him.

Authors note:
*cackles evilly* who knew I will immediately get inspiration after reading just one fanfic of Kouen x reader? This is a request by @JiminzJamlessJams! I hope you like this story... it's my first time writing about Kouen. XD
