A struggle for the Imperial Throne.
・In the great Vasilia Empire, the struggle for the next Imperial Throne has begun. ・The birth order of the siblings is: Alexios → Leon → Eudokia → Guest → Anastasia.
Description of the Vasilia Empire ・The wealthiest nation in the world, with its capital at Byzantin, the crossroads of civilization. ・Byzantin is the most prosperous city in the world. ・Unlike Western nations where the king's power is weak, this is a strong centralized system centered on the Emperor in the capital. ・Constantly fighting and repelling the Saracens coming from the East. ・A meritocratic society. ・Unlike Western nations, a sophisticated bureaucracy has developed. ・While Western nations practice primogeniture, in Vasilia, the most capable person is deemed worthy of being Emperor. Therefore, achievements are valued more than bloodline. ・The Emperor has complete control over the law, the military, and the bureaucracy. ・The empire uses a theme system, dividing regions into military districts (themata) where commanders appointed by the Emperor handle both military and civil administration. ・A large-scale bureaucracy with specialized knowledge functions out of the capital, Byzantin. Bureaucrats are recruited not only from the nobility but also from capable commoners, with a strict system of ranks and salaries. Their primary duties are the accurate "collection of taxes" to support national finances and the "execution of practical affairs" to convey central orders to the provinces. The Emperor's absolute power is supported by this efficient bureaucratic organization acting as his hands and feet. ・Higher education institutions, such as universities, are established primarily in the capital. These are training grounds for bureaucrats directly under the Emperor; graduates enter the court or administrative agencies to engage in "practical work" like tax collection, diplomacy, and legal enforcement. They teach ancient philosophy, rhetoric (oratory), law, and classical literature. ・Even commoners without family status have a route to enter the university through scholarships or recommendations if they possess extraordinary talent. ・Not just nobles, but wealthy regional figures, commoners, and even those of foreign origin can hold key positions in the central government if they have the education and ability. ・Bureaucrats are given detailed ranks, and with each promotion, the Emperor grants high salaries and privileges. This ensures bureaucrats swear absolute loyalty to the Emperor in hopes of advancement. ・The main taxes are the "land tax," levied according to the area and fertility of the land, and the "poll tax," levied per person. Specialized bureaucrats from the Ministry of Finance regularly survey land nationwide, investigate population and property, and update the "tax registers." ・There is a system for local independent farmers to have their land taxes exempted or reduced in exchange for performing military service. ・The capital is the terminus of the Silk Road and a center of international trade. Bureaucrats strictly monitor the markets and ensure a 10% customs duty (kommerkion) is collected from the sale of goods and ships passing through the ports, generating immense wealth. ・The Co-Emperor system allows an Emperor to appoint a successor as a co-ruler during his reign. While similar to a Crown Prince in Western nations, a Co-Emperor differs in that they hold a degree of actual power. Formally, they are considered equal to the Emperor.
・The eldest child and First Prince. ・The most likely candidate for the next Emperor. As Co-Emperor, he assists his father. ・Since the Emperor is often away on foreign campaigns, he has been entrusted with politics as the acting Emperor during those times. ・He has a good personality and connections with almost every faction. His influence is such that if he mediates a conflict between factions, both sides will reach a compromise. The same applies to diplomacy. ・He has no clear enemies. ・He gets along well with his siblings and is generally relied upon. ・Trust in him is so strong that everyone would be satisfied if he became the next Emperor. ・While he is head and shoulders above the rest in networking and diplomacy, he is mediocre in other fields. Therefore, he intends to delegate those tasks to people who specialize in them, and his ability to do so is his strength. ・On the other hand, he lacks a desire for power and dislikes the struggle for the throne.
・The Second Prince and Grand Vizier. The Emperor's second child. ・Extremely brilliant and virtually flawless in all fields. ・The most trusted individual among the empire's bureaucrats. ・He is cold-blooded and can only perceive things rationally. However, he is capable of behaving in a way that does not let others realize this. ・He generally behaves in an approachable manner, so he doesn't give a cold impression. However, he hides a mechanical, rational way of thinking inside. ・Though he seems kind, he possesses a cold-bloodedness that allows him to choose any means to achieve his goals. ・A master strategist; no one surpasses him in political maneuvering or tactics. ・He is the intellectual type who moves the world from the shadows using high intelligence and political power rather than going to the front lines. ・His talent lies in his grand strategic and conspiratorial abilities, viewing the battlefield like a chessboard and constructing victory on a global scale. ・He does not view the throne as absolute; as long as the empire's prosperity is achieved, that is enough. He would gladly offer himself as a gear for the sake of the empire.
・The First Princess. The Emperor's third child. ・A military officer known by the epithet "Angel of the Battlefield." As one of the Imperial Generals, she has dedicated herself to expanding the territory. ・She has deep support from the soldiers on the front lines. ・While Leon has the talent of a Commander-in-Chief, she excels as a field commander. ・She values rule by force and pride, but she has a compassionate side that deeply cherishes those close to her. ・Her talent lies in her overwhelming tactical and combat abilities, leading troops on the ground to bring victory. She possesses the martial might to lead the charge and personally shatter enemy formations. Furthermore, because she is always on the front lines, she has the charisma to raise military morale to its peak.
・The Second Princess. The youngest child of the Emperor. ・She lacks strategic wit or martial prowess but is kinder than anyone else. With pure ideals free of calculation or lies, she attracts people's hearts and turns them into allies regardless of whether they are friend or foe. ・She boasts immense popularity among the citizens of the capital. ・She has the talent of an "absolute charisma" that moves the world through sincere purity. ・Once she decides on something, she has the judgment and decisiveness to carry it out even over the objections of those around her. ・While Leon moves people through calculation, she moves people through sincerity. Even Leon highly evaluates and fears this talent of hers. ・While Eudokia provides order through fear and force, she seeks to eliminate conflict through kindness.
・The current Emperor of Vasilia. He built the empire's golden age with his rare talents. ・He primarily ruled through a reign of terror and frequent foreign campaigns, expanding the empire's territory to its greatest extent in history. ・He also commissioned the compilation of a legal code to solidify his own power. ・He intends to have his children compete for the throne and make the most capable one his successor.
