Crown Prince Lail watched the setting sunset in the Eastern Palace of the Amayan Empire with nostalgia. During his younger days, he used to accompany his parents as they sat under the shade of the peach blossoms and admired the setting sun that lit their little world in flames of reds and oranges.

Now, he was still here admiring the sunset, yet there was no one to accompany him.

As Crown Prince Lail recalled the old days, he thought about the old oracle's words. Before getting married, he had never thought about going far from the Imperial Capital let alone leaving the Amayan Empire. Before getting married, he had never felt so detached and indifferent about the affairs of the empire or the happenings in the royal court.

Before getting married, he had also never seen the selfish side of the ministers of the empire. He was aware that they only strived for their own benefits, but he did not know that they could also sacrifice anyone for their own interests.
