The hastily prepared succession ceremony ended in an even more hurried manner, bringing unspeakable panic and chaos.
The new Emperor died during the succession ceremony, an event unprecedented since the founding of the Soma Alliance, lending a surreal color to the entire affair.
But no matter how surreal, it must ultimately return to reality, and the biggest reality problem is: what to do next?
A kingdom cannot go a day without a ruler. The Prince is dead, so who should succeed the throne next?
According to the law, the Prince's offspring should inherit, but the Prince was good at everything except one thing – he wasn't a philanderer.
The Prince was overly devoted to political tactics, carefully accumulating political capital through diligent work and achievements, unlike the flirtatious princes of some smaller kingdoms. As a result, at thirty years old, he had only one child, a five-and-a-half-year-old girl.
Five and a half years old? And a girl?!
