The Low-Ranking Civil Servant Wants to Achieve Success

The Emperor had always told Kiaros, ever since he was very young:

[Kiaros, you are the future of the Empire. You are my one and only son—the rightful heir of the Imperial Family.]

Maybe it was because of those words that young Kiaros had never once doubted his father’s love.

So the boy Kiaros was the one who pushed the Emperor forward, actively encouraging him to remarry.

The reason was simple:

[Your Majesty deserves to be happy too.]

And so, the Emperor and Fron became happy together. Everything seemed fine.

Only Fron suffered in silence.

[I worry that my presence might become a burden to His Highness the Crown Prince. I’ll try to live in the palace as if I don’t exist.]

[I’ve known Her Majesty the Empress since I was a baby. Don’t say such things.]

[It’s not me I’m afraid of changing—but the people and circumstances around me...]

Kiaros didn’t understand those words for a long time.
