Owen Klein.

The first prince of the Holy Empire and a young hero who saved the declining southern front from crisis.

However, despite his great expertise, he was not as well known to the world as Logan.

One day, Seongjin asked Dasha about it. When I thought that they could actually be family, I started to worry about him.

The first prince of the empire does not even show his nose in the imperial palace even though it is his birthday. What on earth is that guy doing?

"... criminal?"

"It is not a certain fact. "It's just that there are suspicions, so everyone is reticent to talk about the 1st Prince."

Dasha told the story to Seongjin with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Since the time of his accession to the throne, he has already had five children, and has earned the dishonorable title of an unprecedented libertine.

When he came to visit Princess Amelia in Sigismund Territory, the gossip among the public grew even louder.

-How many illegitimate children does His Majesty have? If this continues, what will happen to the succession rights to the throne in the future?

However, things were different when Prince Owen entered the imperial palace. This is because the circumstances were very clear that he was not Seonghwang's biological son.

When Owen's mother had him, Seonghwang was in the midst of hunting down pirates with a mercenary group near Cyprus. No matter how much I researched his movements, nothing seemed to match his movements.

Above all, unlike the other princes and princesses, Owen's face did not resemble Seonghwang in the slightest.

"But you became the first prince?"

"Actually, there are some absurd interests involved."

To explain this, first, we cannot help but mention the 'sudden son' incident that occurred in the imperial palace several years ago.

One day, many years ago.

There was an incident when Ambassador Guerti of Rohan came to the imperial palace in a spirited manner, accompanied by Cardinal Gistier, who was on a mission to Rohan at the time.

Nominally, it was to expose Cardinal Gistier's incompetence, but inwardly, it was intended to humiliate the empire, which dispatched cardinals to each country and interfered in their internal affairs.

-Now, look at this criminal! This guy is the arsonist who started the big fire in Rohan. He was about to be stoned by angry citizens there. This senile cardinal took it away at will, using the power of the empire!

The ragged boy that Guerti had dragged in was completely exhausted from the hardships he had endured.

While everyone in the throne room frowned at the sight, the elderly Cardinal Gistier stepped in front of everyone.

He pointed to the bright red necklace hanging around the boy's neck.

-But no matter how you look at it, this boy has items that are similar to the Empress Dowager's keepsakes. If we do not properly investigate this first before punishment... ... .

-similar? Not a keepsake, but similar to a keepsake? Do you think that is a reason to interfere with the legitimate enforcement of laws in other countries?

-No, look... ... .

Before the Cardinal could say anything more, Guerti was already shouting to everyone in the audience room.
