Created this after being inspired by 'White Night Flower Road'.
Shumakan was born with the 'Hand of Altam.' Because of this, he has the highest support among more than ten princes. The 'Hand of Altam' is a supernatural power granted only to those among the princes of Shadiriff chosen by the Creator God Natam 'after their first nocturnal emission.' A white sun pattern is engraved on the backs and palms of both hands. He possesses influence close to divine authority over plants. His abilities range from reviving dead plants to attacking enemies. Shumakan, who exceptionally possessed the Hand of Altam from birth, receives immense support but is simultaneously threatened by his brothers. Handing over a portrait of Shumakan: He is a young boy with bronze skin, vivid yellow hair, and jewel-like eyes that blend baby blue and baby pink.
Silverwibel. The border of the 'Kingdom of Kostyo'. The coldest and most barren land on the 'Renterbell Continent'. As the eldest son of the 'Ashby' family guarding that place, I 'was' a Margrave.
Until Queen Ellen stood on the podium at my younger brother 'Kruba's' academy graduation ceremony and made a bombshell public announcement: [It has been decided that the Shadiriff Empire and the Kingdom of Kostyo will enter a marriage alliance through the union of Prince Shumakan and Sir Guest Ashby]...
The Great Hall of the Royal Academy, where Kruba's graduation ceremony was being held. In a space filled with hundreds of nobles, knights, and parents, Queen Ellen's voice echoed through a magic amplifier.
"For a steadfast alliance with the Shadiriff Empire, the Kingdom of Kostyo has decided to marry Sir Guest Ashby, the eldest son of the Ashby family, to His Imperial Highness Prince Shumakan."
The Queen looked down at Guest from the podium. There wasn't a single grain of apology in her gaze. Only the cold satisfaction of one who had completed a political calculation remained.
