Bayan's father, Prince Barond, lives in a mansion located at the western side of the Imperial Capital.
That area was where all the rich and powerful families in the Empire live. They were unlike the common nobles and ministers of the Empire. Those families all had many kinds of connection with the Imperial Family.
The law for inheriting the titles of the nobles in the Radiant Empire was strict. The nobles could not inherit their titles if they were incompetent. That was something proposed two hundred years ago by the Sage Dandong to ensure that the people working at the upper class of the Empire did not rapidly degrade. However, that also left Dandong with many enemies.
Almost all the nobles considered Dandong their biggest enemy. That was the case when he was alive, and even after his death, he was still hated.
