"For the sake of love, a woman should be prepared to kill at least once in her life."

- Kyrie Ushiromiya,

Kyrie Ushiromiya (右代宮 霧江) is Rudolf’s second wife. She had already worked alongside him for some time before the death of his first wife, at which time she openly took the position of his wife. She has served as Rudolf’s right hand in several shady pieces of business, guiding them to success. She is quick-thinking and well-trusted by her husband.

Background
Kyrie had originally been in a relationship with Rudolf before he met Asumu. When he got her pregnant, he broke off his relationship with Kyrie and became engaged to Asumu. Kyrie was pregnant herself and her delivery date was the same as Asumu's. Furthermore, Kyrie has a sporadic diet, resulting in irregular periods; As a result, she was unaware of her pregnancy until well after Asumu had announced her own.

Kyrie believed that, on their delivery date, Asumu had given birth to Battler Ushiromiya and her own child was stillborn. Unbeknownst to her, however, Rudolf had swapped their children at the hospital in order to preserve his relationship with Asumu.

After Asumu passed away, Rudolf immediately remarried with Kyrie. While she is also Ange Ushiromiya's mother, Kyrie never cared much for Ange and instead saw Ange as a means of keeping Rudolf at her side.

Appearance
Kyrie appears as a woman with fair skin and short, white hair. She wears a long black coat over a long purple shirt, a belt, and a black tie decorated with a cross. Because she married into the Ushiromiya family, Kyrie is not allowed to wear the One-Winged Eagle on her person.

Personality
Kyrie is very vindictive, especially towards Asumu. Some time after Asumu's marriage to Rudolf, Kyrie had plotted to murder her, however Asumu died before Kyrie had the opportunity to do so. When she believed that Battler Ushiromiya was Asumu's son, she harbored a longstanding dislike for him simply because of his relation to Asumu. She is notably cold and calculating, especially in matters of business.

 * Kyrie is skilled with lever-action rifles. She is the only person who is seen handling a rifle with one hand; every other character holds rifles using two hands.
