Under the suspicion of the New Emperor, the old Prince's child grew up and was named Clifford Cecil.
From an early age, he displayed astonishing talent, excelling in both battle and strategy, and possessing great valiance.
After joining the army, he quickly rose through the ranks, and achieved numerous war merits.
Following the deaths of the old Prince and Princess, he inherited the Prince Palace and was bestowed the title of Prince by His Majesty.
He was the first in Blade to be granted the privilege of not kneeling before the Emperor and to carry his sword when attending court; he stood above the masses with only one person above him.
By his twenties, the Prince remained unmarried, and countless young ladies in the capital admired him, but he was oblivious to their affections.
One spring, as Clifford Cecil and his subordinates returned to the border, they encountered Gracia Euphemia, the daughter of the Euphemia family.
