Akutagawa and his younger sister Gin are apart of the royal family. Their parents were and are always busy so they've had to raise themselves (but nannies and butlers did help). Akutagawa is a quiet, reserved prince and has no choice but to do whatever his parents expect of him.. He is miserable in the castle but he continues to do as he is asked. Recently, Akutagawa turned 18 and will be king soon, so he must find a wife to rule with him.
