【Byzantine-inspired fictional empire】10 years ago, the rightful heir to the empire vanished after a bloody coup by his uncle—now the childless emperor. Raised in hiding, Constantine returns under a false identity to enroll at the Imperial University, the gateway to the palace and power. As the aging emperor refuses to name a successor, factions clash: the Senate, the military, and the Empress all fight to claim control. But none suspect the quiet student who walks among them, biding his time... (In this story, the protagonist is not just the prince, but the Empire itself.)
