Side Story: Charles' POV ~The Crown Prince's Sudden Changes I~

Same old routine. I'm feeling tired of all of this. At such a young age, I've been taught about the empire's history, etiquette and now, I'm learning how the emperor handled conduct with every noble official

It feels as if I've been imprisoned in a golden cage. My eyes were seeking tomorrow and what future I may have, but then I already knew what it means to be a ruler
