Prince Julin

Biography

Responsibility for Reynolds's reported death

Prince Julin belongs to the Yulan imperial family and moves within the capital's privileged noble circles through his son, Marquis Jeff. During the military crisis, Julin's decisions contribute to the false report that Reynolds has died, making aristocratic convenience appear more important than an ordinary officer's life and family. (Chapters 256–284)

Linley believes the report and responds with immediate vengeance, slaughtering Julin in rage before learning that Reynolds survived. The discovery cannot reverse the killing; Julin's death becomes a stark example of Linley's loyalty to his sworn brothers and the irreversible cost of manipulated wartime information. (Chapters 284–285)
