She has a slender body that can't be guessed under her attire that full of lace and ribbon, a slim waistline, and quite the ample bosom no one can complain about.

Personality
Liselotte has a personality that matches her appearance, she's really a sweet and gentle girl, she didn't mind going down to the field in battle to heal her people herself, she didn't underestimate and look down on people under her rank, she's also a calm and collected girl, impeccable manner and has a strong will that enable her to talk and negotiate on the same footing even when going against veteran merchant or prominent noble.

She sees people through their merit, attitude and their work, as long they pass all that, she doesn't mind about their background.

She's also fair and impartial, not gonna side with one side just because they are a noble and treats people under her judgement as equal, that makes her trustworthy for many merchants, because under her judgement, even noble can't wriggle their way out from their mistake.

Though when nobody around aside from Aria, especially after a hard day or after something stressful, Liselotte often starts to act sloppily, just like a normal modern girl on holiday, just lazing around on her bed.

History
There's no mention when Liselotte regains her previous life memory, but when she was 8, she come barging on her father office, told him that she has no intention of getting an arranged marriage and wants to pick her partner herself, and to have the power to do that, she ask her father to fulfill her wish if she can graduate from her school before she becomes 12, her ghastly expression and seriousness win her, her father promises, and she did just that.

She graduated after only 2.5 years passed, when she's still 10, she then got what she wanted, a city for herself, Amande, where she set it as a base for her own company, Rikka Firm, purged all the noble that obstructing her, headhunting all the talent she needed, using all the modern knowledge she had to make a bunch of modern item, she developed both the city and the firm to international success.

Hero Welcome
After Arbou's coup in the Beltram Kingdom, Liselotte welcomes the second princess Flora and duke Huguenot in Amande. Flora uses the sacred stone to summon the "hero" Hiroaki Sakaki. When Flora and Hiroaki meet with Liselotte, Hiroaki falls for her and tries to brag about his knowledge about the modern world, not knowing Liselotte is a reincarnator.

Arbor Wedding
Before the diplomatic relationship between Garlac and Beltram Kingdom freeze, Liselotte is invited to attend Celia's wedding. She witnesses Haruto abduct Celia despite the heavy security measures. After she reunites with the "rebels", Flora Beltram, duke Huguenot, Hiroaki and prepare to go home in Amande. During the travel she discusses with Flora about books and Hiroaki tries to monopolize the attention. The carriage is attacked by monsters under Reiss's order who wants Liselotte dead.

Road Ambush
The monsters attack the group. Liselotte's maid succeed to repel them but Reiss invoked minotaurs. The group is overwhelmed, and Hiroaki is useless. Flora and Liselotte are about to be killed when Haruto arrives and push back the monster. While Haruto is fighting, Liselotte is impressed first and take the occasion to regroup with her maids. After confirming the status of the group, she saw with daze when Haruto is overwhelming 3 minotaurs. She notes that he has a powerful enchanted sword which can control wind element. After the fight ends, she introduced herself to him with duke Huguenot and Flora. Haruto proposed to repair their carriage and Liselotte tries to know more about Haruto using Aria's beauty. The carriage is fixed, Liselotte offers Haruto the ride to Amande and he accepts. During the travel Hiroaki continues to monopolize the discussion disappointing Liselotte who tries to know more of Haruto's background. Finally, the group almost arrive in Amande, to thank him for the rescue she offers him lodging in a inn under Rikka Guild's management, originally she would have welcome him in her estate but she fears to be too pushy. Haruto accepts the offer and says there will be three persons there(Celia and Aishia).

Amande Raid
Later, Liselotte is discussing many things in her office like the increase of monster along the road and forests, but Huguenot wants before all to attend the meeting with Haruto "for the sake of the future". They talk about his possible background : adventurer or fallen noble family like Aria. Liselotte stops the talk because she thinks it is unnecessary to rise caution from Haruto while they try to scout him.

Aria informs Liselotte and Huguenot about the ruckus done by Alphonse and his son Stewart : drunk and accompanied by prostitutes the both of them went in the inn under Rikka Guild management and force the entry in the room Haruto and his group are. They made a ruckus and remark Aishia and Celia's beautiful appearance and try to coax them. The girls ignore them, and Haruto proposes Alphonse and Stewart to leave them the room because they finished their meal. Alphonse shows himself pushy and asks the girls to remain for a drink, the situation escalates when he tries to invoke "the impolite strike" allowing him to kill any commoner who is offending him neglecting the fact that he is in a foreign country and in a city, Liselotte governs (duke Huguenot is looking for her support to Restoration). Stewart tries to stop Alphonse's madness because he is concerned about the consequences (his father scares him) but fails before Alphonse's stubbornness. He attacks Haruto but is easily grounded, Stewart tries to help him but fails. The noises attracts Aria who settles the matter.

Liselotte is devastated learning that, she didn't want Haruto to see them as arrogant noble and for her it is the worst outcome because Haruto will be more wary of them. Huguenot is also concerned, apologize to Liselotte. He said he wishes nothing more to accompany her to meet Haruto but Liselotte dissuades him because he is Stewart's father. She decides to go the next day to offer apologizes and propose Huguenot mediation to settle the matter. The duke accepts and promises to punish the culprits.

The next day after breakfast, Liselotte went in person to meet Haruto. Inside the room, she is impressed by Celia and Aishia's beauty. She apologizes to Haruto because the personal of Rikka Guild fails to prevent the accident and conveys duke Huguenot's sincerity. Haruto is very suspicious but Liselotte promises that if Huguenot and his group seek more trouble, she will stand beside Haruto who is reassured and suggest to write a reconciliation contract, she offered mediation. They have a tea time and Liselotte is impressed by Haruto's pouring skill on pair with Aria. She invites Haruto and his group for lunch in her estate, but he asks Celia and Aishia to excuse themselves.

Liselotte welcomes Haruto in her domain. The lunch begins and Hiroaki behave like he is the master of the house. He says that he misses the taste of white rice. Taking the opportunity; Liselotte presents him risotto. Hiroaki is impressed but still unsatisfied. On the other side, Haruto enjoys the meal and lies about his nostalgia of rice's taste (he eats it every day). Liselotte tells that finally Garlac will hold a big ball to introduce the summoned hero and her name is Sumeragi Satsuki. Haruto thinks that at long last he is making progress. During the night, Reiss invoked monster to attack Amande.

During the raid, Liselotte establishes her headquarters in her estate and coordinate the defenders sending her maid armed with enchanted weapons where it is needed. She also orders that Haruto and his group to be found and brought there with the highest priority. Soon she learns the attack reaches two gates and at the east gate, Haruto alone is repelling the monsters (including a minotaur). She sighs, thinking that her debt towards him increases. In the confusion, Lucius infiltrates the mansion with 4 ghouls (Alphonse is among them, transformed by Reiss). Disguised as a soldier, Lucius succeeds to be entrusted the princess Flora for safety, he kidnapped her and flee while the ghouls are making a ruckus : duke Huguenot is harmed and Hiroaki despite a weak resistance is KO. At the same time Haruto, Aishia, and Celia arrive. Haruto recognizes Lucius and hesitates to pursue him until Ashia tells him to do it, she will settle the fight in the mansion. Haruto flies and follows Lucius with the abducted Flora. Celia deploys her magic and Liselotte is very impressed. Aishia asks Chloe to lend her spear, the maid is frozen until Liselotte tells her to comply immediately. Aishia kills the ghouls with ease. The fight in the city comes at end, the defenders have won, and the monsters are exterminated. Beyond Amande's city wall, where Haruto and Lucius fought, a demi-dragon appears and unleashes a breath: Haruto repels it, the clash clears the sky.

Post Clean-Up
Liselotte is admiring the sky following the clash of Haruto and the demi-dragon finding it beautiful, she soon came to reality as her mansion was also transformed into hospital. She helps with her magic. Soon Haruto comes back with princess Flora in his arms. Liselotte is very grateful, Haruto tries to put down Flora but she lies pretending her legs are numb, she is also sad when she sees how Haruto is smiling at Celia. Liselotte suggests they go inside the house. Stewart Huguenot is in panic seeing his father hurt and begins to scold Liselotte for the lack in security. Liselotte apologizes until the duke says that is enough to his son. In the mansion Haruto puts Flora on a chair and is about to leave when Liselotte asks him to wait. Haruto says he will be useless here and wants to investigate about Lucius and Reiss, Liselotte thanks him and count on him.

Haruto came back with Aria (she was investigating about the demi-dragon's breath and its repelling). Liselotte offers him and his group a room to rest, Haruto accepts. Then, he is summoned in another room where all the big shots are there (Liselotte, Huguenot, Flora, Hiroaki, and Aria). Hiroaki is in an extreme bad mood because his role in the fight was very small when Haruto is the true hero, moreover princess Flora takes a deep interest in him. Hiroaki tries to reduce Haruto's achievement until Liselotte leads the discussion on the main topic: Lucius and Reiss. Duke Huguenot is aware of Lucius who is from a fallen noble,s family in Beltram kingdom. He was in competition with Alfred Ermale for the king's sword position until his family falls into ruin. Haruto also shares his information; Lucius is now the leader of a mercenary group called "heavenly lions" and Lucius is the culprit behind the death of his mother.

After that, Liselotte asks Haruto about his future plan. He says he intends to go to Garlak's capital, Galtuuk because something has happened (he learned that Garlak's summoned hero is Satsuki). This urges Liselotte and Huguenot to prepare a reward for Haruto and asks him what he wishes from them. Doing so they intend to scout him. Haruto turns to Liselotte and asks to meet with Satsuki, Liselotte is surprised and asks why. Haruto excuses himself and says he will tell her why when the time comes. Liselotte agrees he can come to the ball as her partner. Duke Huguenot, asks Haruto what he wants from him, but Haruto postponed his decision. Huguenot tries to attract Haruto into the future Restoration, Liselotte did not want to be left out and say she will welcome Haruto anytime.

After the discussion, Haruto uses the teleportation Cristal to return to Seirei No Tami and inform Miharu about his progress. It is decided that she will attend the ball with him and meet Satsuki. Haruto and Miharu went to Amande after few days, they went to Liselotte's mansion and are welcomed by Cosette. Soon Liselotte arrives, Haruto explains that Miharu is Satsuki 's friend from earth. Liselotte stops the conversation and orders Aria to step outside and to not let anyone inside until the talk is over. She apologizes and inform them that princess Flora and Hiroaki are present, and it will be troublesome if they interrupt them. Then Liselotte asks Haruto if she can verify herself Miharu's intention. Both agree and to their surprise Liselotte began to speak in japanese. She explains she is a reincarnator and why she builds the Rikka Firm. She also takes the opportunity to make deduction: Miharu is not a hero, she doesn't have a divine arm (the divine arms have a translation system), so she would have a excellent teacher who knows both japanese and Strahl language. She turns to Haruto and guesses it was him, the latter confirms it and congratulates her for her intellect (in japanese). For the first time Liselotte is pretty excited and begins to question him about his past life until Haruto says they are here for another matter. Liselotte calms herself and quickly agrees to bring Miharu to the ball, because she trusts Haruto and she wants to return to their past life discussion. She asks if he died in a traffic accident. Before answering Haruto demands Miharu to leave the room, she reluctantly accepts. Haruto confirms he died in the same traffic accident. Liselotte says that she was the high-school girl, Haruto says he was the student university. She remembered there was also a school girl (Suzune) in the bus. The talk ends, Haruto and Miharu leave. He tells her it may be possible to meet Satsuki before the ball, Miharu is speechless, Haruto explains that revealing his past life was a little unexpected but finally proves itself beneficial.

Galarc Ball
Several days before the ball, Haruto and Miharu come to Amande: they will travel to Galtuuk with Liselotte in her enchanted ship. Cosette welcomed them and tried to know more about their relationship. After that, they all embark in the ship and "set sail" to their destination (Aki and Masato are with the rest of the group and following them from afar). They gather for a tea time, Miharu tells Liselotte she borrowed the kitchen to make some cakes. Liselotte is delight and wants to taste it right away. Miharu shows three cakes: apple pie, no bake cheesecake, and Mont-Blanc. Liselotte invites Aria. The both of them are pleased so much that Haruto is impressed by their capacity to eat so much. Liselotte exclaims all the cake are delicious and deserve to be in her exclusive menu. She begins negotiations with Miharu who involves Haruto: Liselotte asks for Miharu's cooking skill for Rikka Firm exclusively in exchange for fair compensation. Haruto says in regard to Miharu's future the offer deserved thinking, he proposes the negotiations be postponed until the end of the ball and prohibition to involve a third party. Liselotte smiles and has no objections to raise, thinking how terrifying Haruto is in negotiations. Soon after the ship arrives in Galtuuk and lands.

In the harbor, the group is welcomed by Cretia main chamberlain, Ricardo who salutes them and thanks Haruto for saving both Amande and Liselotte. The Cretia family must also welcome Miharu who is Satsuki's friend. Ricardo guides them to the Cretia mansion. Haruto brings gifts: three bottles of alcohol made by himself. Liselotte is very interested. She excuses herself and leave them to prepare herself for dinner. Liselotte is with her parents, Cedric and Julianne to officially welcome Haruto and Miharu in the Cretia domain. Cedric salutes the both of them in a very friendly manner, Julianne asks her husband to be also introduced. Haruto flatters her saying he believed she was Liselotte's sister; Julianne has a faint blush. All of them seat, the aperitif began Liselotte is very intrigued by the alcohol brought by Haruto and asks if they can taste it. Haruto agrees, Aria brings the bottles Haruto recommends one before the main dish because the acidity stimulates the appetite. All of them is served and raised their glasses for the toast. Liselotte taste the beverage and is genuinely impressed, same as her father who asks where he found such a drink. Liselotte tells him it is Haruto self-made. Cedric is impressed and qualifies the alcohol as high-quality spirit. Meanwhile Liselotte is thinking for herself if in his past-life Haruto was part of a distillery family and how she can persuade Haruto to sell her the manufacturing process. Cedric, a little drunk, remarks his daughter's merchant eyes and began to tease her revealing her past: at the age of 8, Liselotte tells her father that she sees no interest in a political marriage, she asks that her partner to be chosen by her if she succeeds to graduate from school with years in advance. Finally, she made a demand to be independent by given a city for her own. Liselotte went to school and graduates in only 2.5 years. As promised, her father gives her Amande where she establishes the Rikka firm. Seeing her parents boasting about her, Liselotte is very embarrassed but thinks there no helping it, she was only 8 and already middle-aged man (30-40 years old) were asking for her hand. The dinner continues and Julianne asks Miharu about her past life in Earth: Miharu tells about her first love back in earth, trying to make Haruto react, despite being shaken Haruto keeps his poker face.

The next day, Liselotte, Haruto and Miharu went and meet the king of Garlark kingdom, François who is pleased to finally see Liselotte safe and sound. Liselotte thanks the king and introduces Haruto and Miharu when Satsuki informed of their venue runs to meet them. She is delighted to see Miharu and the two of them have a tearful reunion. Satsuki picks Miharu for a more private meeting, she thanks Haruto and tells she wants to have a talk with him after. Satsuki and Miharu left, François takes a deep interest in Haruto and questions Liselotte about him. Despite the circumstances (Road Ambush and Amande raid) she considers her meeting with Haruto a blessing and she takes a great pride to introduce him to the king. Then François asks Haruto about his history and above all why did he do all his hero achievements. Haruto says that he isn't a hero but François stops him right away: if a man saving a princess twice, slicing numberless monsters, and repelling the breath of a demi-dragon, is not a hero then no one is. The king introduces his son Michel and his daughter Charlotte and asks Haruto if he would be interested to receive knighthood in Garlac kingdom. Haruto explains like he told Liselotte, he was in the middle of his journeys (to get revenge against Lucius) he postponed because of Miharu. Soon as the matter is settled, he will travel again. François is surprised Liselotte already made a move on Haruto but she says she still wait for a positive answer.
