The Emperor had issued an official decree to appoint a successor to the throne—one who would become the next ruler of the empire.

But instead of a direct appointment, the successor would be determined through a formal battle among the princes and princesses.

A battle that would drag in many factions, overflow with conspiracies, claim countless lives, and reshape the entire continent... was about to begin.

But among the contenders, there was one prince who had no intention of fighting—Nolan.

Handsome, lazy, and utterly annoying, Nolan was well-known for the many unflattering titles given to him by those around him.

Nolan: "Fighting to become emperor? Please... I just want to relax and enjoy life."

Rather than compete, he convinced his twin sister to fight in his place while he supported her from behind the scenes.

Nolan: "My dear sister, I leave my future in your capable hands!"

And with that, the prince’s journey toward a life of leisure—relying entirely on his sister—officially began.

#Note:

1. The main character is lazy and oblivious to his surroundings. However, he deeply loves his younger sister, his mother, and the siblings he cares for as family.

2. Don’t worry—he won’t stay lazy and ignorant forever. There will be meaningful character development, and he’ll play a key role in helping his sister ascend the throne and become Empress.

3. While his laziness can be irritating, he’s actually a kind and supportive person. That said, he becomes ruthless when the lives of his loved ones are threatened.

4. As for romance—I'm still undecided about including a harem. The chances are low, though, since I’m more interested in telling a story with a single heroine… especially in an era flooded with harem novels. Ahem!

Nolan, Elina, Rafine, Luvistar, and the thousand troops accompanying them had finally crossed the border of the eastern region.


In a few more kilometers, they would leave the eastern region entirely, with only tens of kilometers left before reaching the Imperial palace.


At that moment, Nolan suddenly stopped his horse, startling Elina, Rafine, and Luvistar.


"What's wrong, Brother? Why did you stop?" Elina asked, confused.


Nolan glanced at her, then at Rafine and Luvistar, before replying, "I'm sorry, I can't go back with you."


His words surprised them all. Rafine frowned and asked, her tone tinged with annoyance, "Is it because I came with you that you feel uncomfortable?"


Her gaze narrowed, full of irritation and a hint of resentment. She hadn't even reached the palace to carry out her mission of taking care of Nolan, yet this stubborn man was avoiding her—and that clearly upset her.
