Zola

Zola (ゾラ) was the second official wife of Barcus but eventually divorced by Barcus during war event between Holfort Kingdom & The Principality.

Appearance
She has long noble tangled styled hair. She is often shown with earings and vests with her own jewelry across her body to show her supremacy as a noblewoman.

Personality
Zola is a typical Holfort noble lady: arrogant, haughty, unfaithful, and greedy. She is also callous and hypocritical. She has no qualms about sending her husband’s children to die in battle for more wealth, and accuses of them of not doing any work, while she never works herself. She is a strong believer in the system where women receive better treatment than men.

Volume 1
Zola appears with her children the day Leon regains his memories of his past life.

10 years later, Zola makes an arrangement with another noble to marry Leon off to their 50 year old daughter. Leon refuses and he and Barcus manage to convince her to postpone the marriage in exchange for them getting her the money she would have made from it.

She is present when Leon arrives back with Luxion and immediately demands that the boy hand over everything he acquired while adventuring to her. Leon refuses, as adventures have total ownership of all items acquired while adventuring under the law.

She returns to the Bartfort Household, with Merce and Rutart, exactly the same day when Leon was returning home with Angelica and Olivia with him and was complaining to Barcus for all the trouble Leon had caused in the Royal Capital. When Leon came home, he was hiding behind Angelica and as Zola didn't know her, she behaved rudely towards her. But when Angelica's identity as the duke's daughter was revealed, Zola's behavior took a roundabout turn and started to treat her in a courteous manner. When Angelica asked Zola why the eldest son, Rutart wasn't helping out with the household duties and why is she constantly away from the residence. Zola tried to dodge the question by asking Angelica for why she was here to which Angelica replied that she had come for sightseeing and would staying at Leon's home until her household contacts her. After hearing this Zola was flustered and returned to the Royal Capital the next day with her children.

Volume 3
Zola appears in Volume 3 when Barcus attempts to recruit Rutart into the war. The boy hides behind his mother and Zola refuses to allow him to participate, but when Barcus pushes, Zola snaps, telling Barcus he has no control over Rutart as Barcus isn't his real father, accidentally revealing the boy's true parentage. Realizing her mistake, she quickly tries to backtrack her statement, but Barcus has no interest in hearing it and leaves.

After the war, Zola loses her noble rank for deserting and the Holfort Kingdom's system changes, allowing Barcus to divorce her.

Family
Although she was against him fighting in the war to the point she accidentally revealed his real heritage, Zola saw him nothing more than a disposable tool to acquire more power and wealth, as to how she viewed all men.

Ex Family
Because she sees Luce’s sons as stupid and worthless, she has no problem with Leon dying in battle or being sold to a fifty-year old woman, all in order to acquire more money.

Zola has no real love for Barcus. She sees him and his children by Luce as nothing more but means to acquire more wealth for her lavish lifestyle.
