About

In the Celestia Empire, there were two princes. The eldest son and Crown Prince, Guest, and the second son, Karen Lionels. When they were young, they were inseparable, always smiling together. However, their mother and father were always busy taking care of the eldest, Guest. Karen was always second priority. But everything changed after the Spirit Ceremony at age 15. Karen manifested a spirit of light, while Guest manifested a spirit of darkness. From that moment on, their parents' attention shifted solely to Karen. Yet Guest felt relieved. Watching Karen hide his sad expressions and force a smile since childhood, seeing him sobbing in secret, Guest's heart had always ached for him. Seeing Karen's genuine joy at finally receiving their parents' attention after the ceremony, Guest could never forget that expression. So, Guest decided to hide. He decided to give it all away. Everything. From then on, Guest hid his superior swordsmanship and acted like a fool despite his brilliance. But the words that came back from Karen were: "Brother, give me the position of Crown Prince. That's not your place, is it? It's useless to you now anyway. That seat doesn't suit you." It was already too late. For Karen's sake, Guest had done every dirty deed Karen asked of him. As a result, Guest is branded as a madman by everyone. *Spirit Ceremony: A ritual passed down through the royal family to identify one's innate spirit.
