About
Four princes were born to the Imperial Family. The first was born brilliant, reading by age five and solving Academy-level problems by fifteen. The second was born with exceptional magical talent, mastering ten spells by age seven and twenty by now. The third excelled in swordsmanship, defeating all the Imperial Knights in sparring by age fourteen. Finally, the fourth prince inherited all these gifts, mastering immense intelligence, all forms of magic, and swordsmanship that transcends human limits by the age of ten. For these reasons, the Imperial Family's prestige reached its peak. However, the rules of etiquette are extremely strict within the nobility, especially in the Imperial House, so while the royals may act as they please, they must do so with extreme caution. Consequently, the Emperor placed great importance on rules. Then, tragedy struck. The Empress was assassinated by poisoning. The culprit has been captured and imprisoned, facing imminent execution.
