After Marquis Tryton du Diento's death, he attended a meeting with his siblings and father at the royal capital to discuss the consequences of the noble's death. He believed that the marquis's death was the work of the elves as he heard rumors that the marquis was capturing elves and selling them to the eastern empire. His half-brother Dakares though maintained that was merely hearsay. Sekt insinuated that his brother rejected the claims against the marquis was due to being aware of the misdeeds of the deceased Tryton.

Their argument was eventually broken up by his father who wanted the family to focus on repairing their nation's relationship with the Great Canada Forest.

After the meeting, Sekt met with his mother Lefitia Rhoden Sahdiay to discuss about Dakares's scheming with a priest named Boran from the Holy Hilk Kingdom.

Together with the priest they made plans to dispose of Sekt’s half-sister. Once the priest left to carry out the plan, Sekt's mother voiced her concerns about killing the princess as it could backfire. Sekt was confident that the priest would carry out both their goals.

Abilities and Powers
Political leadership : Sekt is the heir to Rhoden throne and as such lead his own faction with a certain skill with shrewd and cold scheme like the murder of his half brother and the attempt on his half sister. He seems to be a master of word, juggling between provocations and apologizes like when he negotiates with Riel or put suspicion on Arc when talking with Lauren.

Swordsmanship : as a princes Sekt was raised in military ways and knows how to hold a sword. During the Hilk crisis he fights against a cardinal and survives.

Relationships
Sekt has no real friendships with anyone. His coldness and his absolute conviction he should be the next king makes him see other like disposable pawns or threats to his rule. Even his own siblings were not to spare if they come in his way. He has the backing of the East Revlon empire who has doomed the entire race of the dwarves as such Sekt does not mind the fate of non human-races.

Dekares : since the first meeting in volume 1 we could say Sekt has no respect for his half-brother. He knows the rumors about the marquis Tryton are true but hides this information from others even his father the king, for his own better use later. He does not hesitate to put the blame on Dekares when his attempt murder on Yuriarna failed.

Karlon : Sekt maintains a facade before his father, looking like a loyal son and subject to him but underneath he hides information for his own purpose.

Yuriarna : Sekt recognizes her half-sister as the biggest threat for his rule over Rhoden as Yuriarna is way more smarter than Dakares. The feeling increases when she succeed to reach the Grand Duchy of Limburt and negotiated with the elves for expanding the abundant crop stones trade gaining a very powerful ally for her succession to Rhoden throne. With bad grace he recognizes his defeat, later this trade is so important for the kingdom that Yuriarna is not reachable for assassination as Sekt would be suspected. On his own admission, Sekt can't deal with Yuriarna probably due to their world view are way too different. Yuriarna was so successful in her task that Sekt was obliged to play along.

Arc : since his first meeting Sekt sees Arc as a big threat for his rule. He guessed it was him who saves Yuriarna from his attempted murder and the destruction of his half-brother's slave trade organization. Having not the firepower to oppose him, Sekt talks with Lauren when his father ordered the gathering of all nobles and puts suspicions on Arc.
