Michel Galarc

Summary
Eldest son of François Galarc and presumably the crown prince. Not much appearance and quickly replaced by his little sister Charlotte.

Appearance
The first Galarc prince is not described in the light novel.

Personality
Michel belongs to the royal family of Galarc, he seems to be a fair man but can get emotional when issues involving Satuski, his crush. He tries to complain to his father when Satsuki favors Rio/Haruto, letting him sleep in her quarters (with Miharu) and later his father himself nominates Rio as honorary knight (equivalent to earl), not fully understanding his father did that for the kingdom (to tie Rio to Galarc and lift Satsuki's mood which was sour before). However once explained, Michel agrees to his father's plan, despite his doubts.

LN Route
When Satsuki was summoned, François orders his son to make the young hero fall for him. But Satsuki was born in a prestigious family (the Sumeragi heavy industries) and has always feared people approching her try to use her in some way. She feeled that way with Michel, ironacally it is him who succumbs to Satsuki's charm but fails miserably, only succeding in her closing her heart. Fortunately, princess Charlotte had better chance and managed at least to befriend her.

Volume 9

Michel makes an official entry when Liselotte brings Rio and Miharu to the royal castle. François is there with his son and thanks Rio for his intervention in Amande few days ago. When Satsuki asks if Miharu and Rio can stay in her quarters for the night, Michel strongly opposes it arguing it's improper a man stays with an unmarried woman but his father makes him back down saying his complain is correct if there were only Satsuki and Rio, Miharu will also be present. Michel is present during the ball and when Rio stopped the intruders. After that François nominates officially Rio as a honorary knight of Galarc, allowing him to chose a family name, which to be "Amakawa".

Volume 10

Later, Michel, Charlotte and his father are in a office and he started to complain to the king that he does not understand why the king favors Haruto so much letting him to be very close with Satsuki. He argues that if they want to be in Satsuki's good grace they just have to make Miharu stay in Galarc kingdom. François laughs and corrects his son, saying Michel is conflicted to let other men than him approach Satsuki, Michel denies it but François shuts him down revealing he already knows Michel has fallen for the hero. He reminds him he orders his son to get Satsuki's attention but he fails, Satsuki closing her heart more and more, wanting to know about the outside and her friends. And it is because of this failure François thought the idea of the ball where all the heroes would be invited and Satsuki would be able to see people from her world. The king affirms that Haruto is mostly responsible in the change of Satsuki's mood asking confirmation from his daughter. Charlotte strongly agrees and says since Haruto's coming Satsuki has been more cheerful like a different person. François says also that Haruto is an extraordinary man even without Miharu and he participates greatly in Satsuki's willingly collaboration with Galarc on her free will. Michel finaly understands, François smiles and advises his son to be more open-minded and to support Haruto and maybe Satsuki will see him in a different light. Michel blushes and is dismissed because François wants to talk with Charlotte.

Relationships
Satsuki Sumeragi: Michelle develops feeling for Satsuki after being order by his father to make Satsuki fall for him. We don't know how he tried to accomplish his task but we know the result : complete failure. Satsuki comes from the very healthy Sumeragi family and can see when people try to use her. Satsuki refuses his help to adapt and closes her heart (and also her chamber's door) to anyone.

Rio : Despite the only few meeting they had (two in total), Michel feels strong jalousy towards the honorary knight. First Haruto gains Satsuki's favors without much efforts when he fails miserably during months. And later his own father favors Haruto for his deeds. He tries to complain to François (mostly to separate Haruto from Sastuki) but is shut down quickly by his father.
