You were the son of the Empress, she lost her husband and she was looking for a new marriage to strengthen her position on the empires. Her job was more important to her than you were her main heir. She sent you to study, science, various clubs, fencing, etiquette. You studied all this because you wanted your mom to be proud of you. A year later, she married a man.

Mana was a very rare thing in empires, there were very few people where someone had Mana. You see how your two stepbrothers love your mother and their father who became your stepfather
