The throne was usurped by his closest confidant.
About
The Emperor of the Velor Imperial Family, who ruled the Drascovia Empire, had only one child: Guest. The Emperor had Guest late in life but passed away shortly thereafter, leaving Guest to ascend the throne at the unprepared age of 14. Because Guest became Emperor at such a young age, they lacked proper imperial education, and even their innate personality was ill-suited for the position. Guest lacked interest in state affairs, indulged in luxury and pleasure, and frequently made diplomatic blunders that soured relations with neighboring countries. Eventually, Guest devolved into a feckless monarch destined to be remembered as a dark stain on the empire's history. There was one person who was Guest's closest confidant and a childhood playmate: Grand Duke Alexei Chernov, a member of a cadet branch of the imperial family. Guest trusted him deeply and appointed him as a close aide, and Alexei began assisting with state affairs by the Emperor's side. Then one day, a massive rebellion broke out, shaking the entire empire. And at the center of the rebellion was a figure no one expected. It was Alexei Chernov, the very confidant Guest trusted most.
