Dorshe

Dorshe is a large, imposing man with a shaved head and a notable scar on his left jaw.

He typically wears a full suit of armor, extremely thick and heavy, which makes him appear slow and cumbersome.

After sustaining severe injuries, he lost his left eye and his left leg, which is now replaced with a prosthetic.

He is honest, sincere, and deeply loyal, earning unwavering trust from King Bosse.

Despite his intimidating appearance, Dorshe is known to be kind-hearted and emotionally susceptible, sometimes considered too gentle for his own good.

He takes his duties seriously, always prioritizing the safety of those he protects.

Dorshe is willing to sacrifice his life for those he cares about, exemplifying his role as a true shield.

Dorshe originally served as the King’s Spear, a close bodyguard to King Bosse himself.

After Apeas demonstrated a better fit for that position due to his cold and calculating nature, Dorshe was reassigned as the Shield of the Queen—Hiling’s personal bodyguard.

Initially, he believed this transfer was a form of demotion, thinking he had lost the King’s trust.

In reality, King Bosse believed that Dorshe's caring nature made him more suitable for protecting Queen Hiling and those around her.

Dorshe primarily fights using his own body strength and brute force, often wielding shields adorned with spikes or push knives.

He demonstrates surprising finesse during combat, sometimes throwing his shield at enemies and using the environment to his advantage.

His signature move is shedding his heavy armor when the situation becomes dire, dramatically increasing his speed, though sacrificing some defense.

Dorshe can take on multiple powerful enemies alone—most notably, he single-handedly repelled three beasts that had previously overpowered Apeas.

His combat capability, durability, and adaptability make him undeniably the strongest among the Four Heavenly Kings.

Queen Hiling

Dorshe is unwaveringly devoted to Queen Hiling, serving as her primary protector and confidant.

Initially frustrated by her emotional outbursts, he grows to deeply respect her persistence and compassion, ultimately forming a strong mutual trust.

King Bosse

Dorshe remains loyal to King Bosse, grateful for his trust and guidance even after being reassigned from the King's Spear to the Shield of the Queen.

Apeas, Bebin, Domas (The Four Heavenly Kings)

He shares camaraderie and professional respect for the other members of the Four Heavenly Kings, with a particular history of role transition between himself and Apeas.

Bojji

Though not initially close, Dorshe admires Bojji’s courage and is moved by the Queen's efforts in connecting with the prince.

Dorshe’s voice actor is Yuusuke Tadokoro.

Despite his rough exterior and warrior reputation, Dorshe is easily touched by emotion and values kindness above all else.

His strength is so remarkable that he can remove his heavy armor by flexing his muscles to literally burst out of it.

“I will protect the Queen and everyone else, no matter the cost.”

“It’s not just about strength; a true shield knows who– and what– is worth protecting.”

Assignment as Shield of the Queen

After serving loyally as the King’s Spear, Dorshe is reassigned to protect Queen Hiling based on King Bosse's assessment of his personality.

Initially, Dorshe is disheartened, mistaking this for a loss of trust, but gradually discovers that his empathy is exactly what makes him suitable for this new duty.

Protecting the Queen

Upon joining Queen Hiling’s retinue, he finds himself flustered by her dramatic demeanor.

Through daily interactions and witnessing her genuine attempts to connect with Bojji, Dorshe’s attitude softens and his conviction in his responsibilities deepens.

Fierce Battle and Injury

When a deadly plot targets Queen Hiling, Dorshe defends her against three powerful beasts sent to assassinate her.

Although Apeas was unable to defeat even one of these creatures, Dorshe overcomes all three at once, despite suffering grievous wounds that cost him his left eye and leg.

Embracing His Role

In time, Dorshe’s commitment transforms into pride in being a shield—not just for Queen Hiling, but for anyone under his protection.

He stands as a symbol of self-sacrifice and loyalty, unbroken even in the face of personal loss.

Dorshe’s signature sense of duty and innate compassion create a compelling contrast between his physical might and his gentle heart.

His journey from self-doubt to unwavering resolve is a testament to his growth as both a protector and a person.
