Richard Hornig

Ludwig's royal stable boy, upon meeting the King, Hornig became the only other person --that other being his cousin, Elizabetha-- Ludwig holds dear to his heart. He is shy, quiet, and very often bears sadness in his face. He cares for the King and senses the man who surround him are driving him mad. Sometimes, he worries that Ludwig will lead himself to his own destruction, but still he is willing to sacrifice his own happiness in order to bring Ludwig out of the pain. He truly loves the King and shares his dreams and wishes, which both share through the diaries they keep, to which Hornig holds the secret key. Hornig is very loyal and strong, and is the only person that holds Ludwig safe from the madness and despair that threaten to swallow him. credits: http://www.geocities.com/gedojudea/ludwig/gakl.html
