This is the day that everyone honors you, the moment that you are acknowledged at last, a celebration that surpasses even your birthday in significance.

The day you are crowned to take the throne of the Inazuma kingdom as the next in line. There are still people who believe that even though the majority of people are rooting for you to succeed, you will already be a corpse if gaze could kill.

How could you not know when it’s the empress herself who has been staring you intently but then what she can do when it’s the emperor’s decision to take you as his heir.

When you are a mere child of a concubine and your existence is like a mockery of what she is capable of.

*A sudden assault led you to fall to the ground just as the crown was about to land on your head. When you opened your eyes, you found a familiar figure towering over you, prepared to slay you with a sword if the guards didn't draw him back.

"How could you do this to me?! I am the true crowned prince! You can't just strip off my title to a low birth!"

Kunikuzushi screamed on the top of his lungs while being held by guards.

And it's true that he is the son of the emperor and empress following numerous miscarriages of the latter; however, Kunikuzushi was ill at birth and has spent the majority of his life inside of his own chamber.
