Gerald Stuart

"The engagement absolutely can’t be canceled."

- - Novel Volume 2, Chapter 21

Geordo Stuart (ジオルド・スティア一ト) is the first capturable character in the game Fortune Lover. In the day before the main character died, she struggled all night to finish his route but was unable to do so.

Appearance
Geordo has short blonde hair with sectioned bangs, and blue eyes. He wears a white suit with a necklace of the kingdom's insignia, with a red cape draping over his left shoulders and back.

Personality
Geordo is often described as a "sadist" due to his secretly ruthless, twisted, and cunning nature, in contrast to his handsome smile. He could read people easily and do tasks perfectly without putting in too much effort, making him very bored and uninterested in most things. This caused him to be a little bit emotionally stunted, but this makes him even more eager to learn through his fiancée. He is aware that he is not a good person, but accepts that as a part of his personality. He is secretly short-tempered, leading him to act irrationally and destructively, which he considers one of his biggest flaws.

He is very aggressive in his pursuits for his fiancée, giving her anything she desires and whispering sweet words of love to her ear. Despite being very forward when it comes to physical advances, he gets easily shy and flustered when he is in the receiving end of physical contact.

Background
Geordo is the third prince of the country, and the capture target who is Katarina's fiancé. Even though he looks like an orthodox blonde-haired, blue-eyed prince, Katarina thought otherwise that on the inside he’s actually an evil sadistic prince.

However, even though Geordo in the game was supposed to be “not interested" in Katarina at all, and almost never visited her, before she noticed, he would come over to her house once every three days. He even helps Katarina harvest the fruits and vegetables from the field, and would always bring her sweets as presents, and are completely friends now. In summary, unlike the game lore, they have a lot of contact.

Fortune Lover
Geordo, though looking like a prince out of a fairy tale look, his personality was twisted and scheming. He is a genius who can do anything. He has no particular interests and is bored with his everyday life.

Game Route

 * If the heroine captures Geordo successfully, and gets the happy end, just like the ending with Keith, since Katarina had been criminally harassing the couple, she was deprived of her status and exiled. After that, Geordo and the heroine will live happily ever after.


 * If the heroine fails to capture Geordo, and gets the bad end, Geordo would attempt to protect the heroine from Katarina’s attack with a knife, leading to accidentally killing his fiancée. In regret, he would exile himself, leaving the heroine alone and heartbroken.

Fortune Lover II
Geordo, in Fortune Lover II, returns as a capture target in the game. He begins to take lessons and perform tasks in the Magic Ministry, which gives him an opportunity to pursue the protagonist.

Game Route
Throughout the game, while trying to gain the attention and affection of the capture targets, the heroine must also try to reveal the identity of the mysterious woman with dark magic that has been causing trouble in the Ministry.


 * If the heroine and Geordo, the chosen capture target, reveal the identity of the mysterious figure, that person will then be arrested and the two will be able to live happily ever after together.
 * If the heroine fails to reveal the identity of the mysterious figure, she and the culprit will duel each other, and both die. All the capture targets, including Geordo, will fall prey to dark magic.

Katarina Claes
After he injured Katarina when they were 8 years old, he became her fiancée as compensation.

In Fortune Lover, Geordo has no interest in Katarina at all, as he found her very boring since she had the personality of a typical self-absorbed noblewoman. While Katarina is absolutely in love with him, he merely uses her as a shield to shoo away other noblewomen who cling to him with the desire for marriage.

In the present timeline, Geordo showed absolutely no interest in Katarina, as she was pompous and annoying. However, as the odd daughter of the duke began to continuously intrigue and surprise him with her unpredictable personality, he ended up falling head over heels to her. He fell in love with her genuine and honest nature, which contrasted with that of the two-faced nobles of high society, and because of how she befriended and comforted him despite knowing his true colors. Katarina is also one of the only few people who can read through his princely façade, noticing whenever he looks exhausted or upset. Geordo admits that Katarina has brought color to his life, giving his friends and memories that he wouldn't have gotten without her.

Despite Katarina's constant attempts to break off their engagement, he does not plan to annul their engagement, however, and always manages to dodge the topic somehow. He happily advertises his love for Katarina in every possible event and gathering, in order to emphasize how much he loves his fiancé. After confessing to Katarina, Geordo decides to step up and make progress in their relationship. He has shared a kiss with Katarina multiple times in order to reiterate his love for her, but his confession would be constantly forgotten whenever Katarina's mind is occupied with other matters. He is willing to both work to become king of Sorcier, as well as throw away his claim to the throne and status as a royal, depending on what Katarina wants of him.

After graduating from the Magic Academy, Geordo and Alan usually visit the Ministry of Magic for training purposes from time to time, where Katarina also works at.

In Verge of Doom, Geordo holds no interest in Katarina and merely uses her as a shield. When Katarina gained memories of her past life, she started to act odd and unlady-like, which caught Geordo's attention. While her new behavior seemed very out of character for her, Geordo doesn't care as long as it makes her more interesting. Despite not being romantically interested in her, he still cares for her well-being, which is evident in the fact that he does not want her to learn sword fighting from a medicine teacher, because she might get hurt if without the guidance of a professional. He acts somewhat jealous when seeing Katarina and Professor Gerran interact, and warns her not to become intimate with her teacher.

In Fortune Lover II, Geordo is among the cast who will partake in the identification of the mysterious figure with dark magic, who is revealed to be Katarina herself. Geordo would be involved in throwing Katarina in jail.

Maria Campbell
In Fortune Lover, Geordo is the first person to encounter Maria in the Magic Academy, and was immediately charmed by her tomboyish nature. She would constantly be on his radar due to her Light Magic, and for standing beside him with the second-highest score in the Academy, despite being a commoner. Geordo would eventually become fond of her when he realizes how much of a hard worker she is.

In the present timeline, Geordo and Maria are good friends thanks to Katarina. Geordo finds Maria interesting and admirable, but could not find any real interest in her because of how much he is in love with Katarina. He admits that if he was not in love with Katarina, he would be very fond of Maria. He currently considers Maria as his biggest threat in the race for Katarina's heart, to the point where he calls her a "powerful foe who is almost from another dimension".

In Verge of Doom, Geordo and Maria are close acquaintances due to their work as part of the Student Council. He can be seen pairing up with Maria to do patrols for Magic Classes. He is protective of Maria, often looking out for her well-being due to her sudden involvement with his fiancée.

Keith Claes
In Fortune Lover, Keith and Geordo were rivals for Maria's affection. As a result, they often protect Maria from Katarina.

In the present timeline, Keith and Geordo are rivals for Katarina's affection. When Geordo makes advances towards Katarina, Keith is usually the one to intervene in his advances. Keith often quarrels with Geordo about the fact that his sister does not have what it takes to become a queen, while he counters that she doesn't have to be. Geordo even says that had he been in Keith's position, he and Katarina's relationship would have already been something more than just siblings.

Alan Stuart
In Fortune Lover, Geordo was the older twin brother of Alan Stuart. In the game, since Alan never liked him too much, Geordo didn't have too much of a relationship with him.

In the present story, he is very much close to his twin brother thanks to the influence of Katarina. They act like regular siblings who care and watch over each other. Geordo gladly joins Alan in his hobby of playing music, and would happily perform to a crowd alongside his brother. However, he also participates in preventing Alan from realizing his feelings to Katarina, as he did to brush every other rival away.

In Verge of Doom, Geordo and Alan don't have too much of a relationship, but find camaraderie in noticing how much of an oddity Katarina had become.

Geoffrey and Ian Stuart
His other brothers are Geoffrey, the firstborn, and Ian Stuart. Geordo never liked Geoffrey because he is obnoxious and unreadable. The truth is that Geoffrey is just extremely doting on his brothers, up to the point that he would stalk them and put their photos in his room.

Geordo considered Ian a better brother with his taciturn and disciplined upbringing. Ian was referred to by Geordo as being easier to work with.

Nicol Ascart
He is childhood friends with Nicol, the son of the Prime Minister. He would often interact with Nicol due to the nature of their father's work.

Mary Hunt
His twin brother Alan Stuart is currently in an arranged engagement with Mary Hunt.

In Fortune Lover, Geordo hardly cared for Mary's existence, just as he did with his own brother.

In the present timeline, they were acquaintances at most, but eventually, they grew to be friends and rivals, fighting for Katarina's love. They would often ally with each other in order to deal with nobles who do not like Katarina. Geordo acknowledges that Mary's inner personality is similar to his, and can see her true self past her title as a perfect lady.

Sora Smith
Geordo does not like Sora, due to the events during the School Festival where Katarina was kidnapped by him in order to make the prince release his claim to the throne. While Geordo does not care for the crown at all, it was the discovery of Sora's romantic attempts at Katarina that made him angry. He and Sora often butted heads during Keth's kidnapping for Katarina's attention. Geordo generally does not trust Sora, which is the exact opposite of how his fiancée treats him.

Kai Gerran
In Verge of Doom, Geordo dislikes the idea of Katarina being taught sword fighting, because of how harsh Gerran is in their training. He would much rather have Katarina learn from a professional, if not from himself.

Caesar Dall
Geordo is very grateful for his aid in looking for Katarina during the ball of the International Assembly, but was off-put by his demeanor. Caesar advised and warned him about knowing his power as a prince, for reasons that Geordo isn't aware of, before leaving him to self-reflect. Geordo respects him as a prince, but is slightly wary of Caesar due to his unknown intentions and unclarified relationship with Katarina.

Fire magic
Geordo possesses fire magic. However, as a royal, he is not allowed to use them unless necessary. In his Character Profile, it says that his magical power is rated a 4 on a 5-point scale.

Multitalented
In his Character Profile, it says that his special skill is being a perfectionist; he is a genius that can do anything with ease.

Swordsmanship
Geordo excels in swordsmanship. This is proven when he kills Katarina in the game in the bad ending. He can fight on equal terms with a knight.

Intelligence
Geordo has high intelligence. His intelligence in his Character Profile is on similar levels with Raphael and Nicol, making them the smartest characters among the main cast.

Trivia

 * Most notable are: Geordo from the anime, Gerald from the manga, Jeord from the English light novels, Giord from the StoryMe game.

 * Such hobbies include: Baking, Sword fighting, and Violin playing.
 * To all of his rivals, Keith, Mary, Alan, Nicol, Sophia, Maria, Rafael, Sora; and any other boys, he really had his guards up. Geordo was extremely possessive towards Katarina, although the subject herself was oblivious to that fact.
 * He dislikes any animals with the traits "slim" and "long".
 * Geordo is very similar to Katarina's father, Luigi Claes.
 * Both men are described as fairy tale princes by the women in high society. They are both seen as very handsome and charming, and were considered the most sought-after men by their peers.
 * Both men are in love with a Duke's daughter who does not believe that they are loved by them (both Millidiana and Katarina thinking that their fiancés are engaged to them because of duty or obligation).

"For her to ask me to spoil her. Perhaps for her to smile by my side, would be quite pleasant as well. At least, that is what I would say on the surface... but there are many things. However, this is not quite the place for it. We could discuss it after a change of scenery, if you would like? Ah, that is not necessary, you say? Most regrettable."
