Your soul is hollow of words or meaning until you find someone or something to fill the void created through disappointment and expectation. In the Spade Kingdom only strength is recognised by the royalty.

Among the royals one is shunned for his treatment of his subjects, the commoners adore him due to his kindness but his brothers and sister think his will is too weak.

People doubt his royal blood due to his appearance, His Mother, Father, Brothers and his Sister all have black hair and blue eyes but he is different with white hair and emerald green eyes.

A unanimous decision between all of the family was to rid themselves of him sending him to the Clover Kingdom as an arranged marriage.

His name is Rairyu Arkhailis and he is the Rejected Royal.

(Rairyu POV)

Due to my current situation of this 'family decision' I am traveling to a small village on the outskirts of the Clover Kingdom called Hage, I am here to observe a grimoire distribution ceremony.

I am here under the recommendation of the Wizard king Julius Novachrono, I understand that I am a kind of peace present to the Kingdom but why would he show interest in me? Maybe it's my amount of magic power? I do have a massive reserve of it so maybe.

I arrive at a tower that Julius had called a 'Grimoire tower' I can sense magic power inside so there are people in there.

I walk in silently just taking in the sights and immediately I can hear a short grey haired guy shouting his excitement out, I can't really blame the guy as I am also quite excited.

I walk up to the guy.

Me: "You are quite happy about today huh?" I say to him

He turns to face me.

???: "YEAH I am this is the day that I get my grimoire! Oh right my name is Asta and this gloomy guy is Yuno." He says whilst pointing to the black haired guy next to him.

Me: "It's nice to meet you Asta and Yuno. My name is Rairyu." I say with a wide smile.

Then I overhear some nobles talking about Asta and Yuno and it angers me but I refrain from any rash actions.

Then the old man at the front starts speaking.

Old Man: "Welcome to grimoire tower acceptees, on this momentous day you will take your first step down a new path I wish you hope, integrity and love. For those who don't know I am the master of the grimoire tower, now! never once has anyone from this region distinguished him or herself by becoming a magic knight much less the wizard king, I pray that someone among you will have what it takes to become the most powerful mage in the land. Seriously I mean it! Ahem and now to accept your grimoires."

Then the grimoires start to glow and float up into the air and down to their new owners but two stay up in the air as if awaiting their time to descend.

Most of the people here get theirs besides Asta and Yuno, well and me but I'm not here to collect one just observe.

Asta: "Is my grimoire running late or something?"

Old Man: "Uh try again next year?"

Asta: "WHAT?!!?"

Then people start erupting in laughter as me and Yuno stand silently.

Snobby noble: "Well he's got us beat in one area, complete and utter uselessness."

Then a blinding flash of light descends and splits into two, one in front of Yuno and the other to me.
