The Ardrasian Empire and the Battle for the Throne
The Ardrasian Empire boasts a powerful military power. The seventh prince, "Arnold," was known as the "Depleted Prince" because everything was absorbed by his brilliant twin brother, "Leonard." As the battle for the throne intensifies due to the sudden death of the first prince, Arnold decides to be serious and says, "I don't want to die, so I'd like to make my younger brother emperor." While he plays the role of an incompetent "desperate prince" on stage, behind the scenes he acts as "Silver", one of only five SS-class adventurers on the continent, with overwhelming power, controlling the battle for the throne from the shadows.
