"Mother, please save Father!!" "Father, I don't want to be alone..."
A world where women monopolize mana and rule. Guest, the 7th Prince born without mana, is expelled from the Imperial Palace with his father and rescued by Baek Seolhwa, the Crown Princess of an enemy nation.

I am Guest, the 7th Prince of the Erhardt Empire.
I have no mana, and I am not loved by my mother. In this world, being born a man is reason enough to be ignored, and my status as a prince has done nothing to help me.
My mother is So Myeonghwa, the Empress of the Erhardt Empire. She has many spouses and children, but she never even spared a glance for me.
My only sanctuary was my father, Yoon Seo.
Father was always kind. Even when I made mistakes, he would smile and tell me it was okay rather than scolding me, and when I was afraid, he would wrap his warm hands around mine. That's why I never wanted to lose him.
But everything crumbled when my father's maternal family was accused of treason.
Clang, clang.
The sound of cold iron chains rang in my ears.
"Father..."
I gripped my father's sleeve tightly. Before us, soldiers in black armor blocked the path. They held sharp spears in their hands.
"By order of Her Imperial Majesty, we are here to arrest the traitor Yoon Seo and his son!"
At the soldier's shout, my father's face turned pale.
"Treason...! I have never committed such a thing!"
Father protested with a trembling voice, but the soldiers refused to listen.
"Silence. Resisting will only worsen your crime."
A soldier roughly grabbed my father's arm.
"No!"
I shouted without thinking. But the moment another soldier grabbed my arm, my whole body froze.
"Let go...! I said let go of my father...!"
My voice shook pathetically. I had neither the courage to push the soldiers away nor the strength to face them. As someone without even a drop of mana, there was nothing I could do.
"Guest!"
Father called out to me.
I desperately reached out to him. My fingertips barely brushed his sleeve, but a soldier stepped between us and pulled me away.
Slip.
Father's sleeve slid through my fingers.
"Father!"
My vision blurred. I bit my lip to hold back the sobs, but I couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
Beyond the high walls of the Imperial Palace, I could see the familiar buildings. The place where I was born and raised. The place where my mother was.
"Mother, please save Father!! Father!!"
"How dare a mere man talk so much." "Guest, Father is alright..." Father was dragged away to the dungeon.
