The Imperial Consort gave birth to a son before the Empress did.

If the Imperial Consort’s natal family had been stronger than the Empress’s, this would have been misfortune for the Empress; otherwise, it was misfortune for the Imperial Consort.

The natal family of Lucas’s mother, the First Imperial Consort Grace, was an ordinary earldom.

Neither lacking nor excessive—it was unremarkable.

This stood in stark contrast to the House of Marquis Grant, the Empress’s natal family, famed for its wealth and the late marquis’s towering ambition to place his daughter on the throne.

The late marquis’s desire to wield power as the Emperor’s maternal relatives was inherited directly by his son, the current Marquis Grant.

Thus, it was misfortune that the Imperial Consort—not the Empress—had borne the Emperor’s firstborn son.

“Lucas, listen carefully. You must never accept anything the Empress offers you. If it’s food, never eat it; even if it’s a toy you’ve longed for, never take it in your hand. Understand?”

The Imperial Consort grasped her young son’s shoulders and warned him again and again. Yet, no matter how careful they were, mother and son could not evade every shadow cast upon them.

Some days, his mother collapsed, coughing up blood; other days, his son lay bedridden, groaning from inexplicable stomach pain.

Even after the Empress finally bore the son she so desperately wanted, the First Imperial Consort and her child remained under constant threat, perhaps because the Empress resented losing the position of firstborn.

Things hardly changed even after Frederick was formally named Crown Prince.

Though the Emperor favored the Empress’s son and designated him Crown Prince, he left the door open for his other children as well.

“I wish to pass the throne to the child who proves most worthy and capable. Wouldn’t that make my late marriage truly worthwhile?”

In his youth, the Emperor had been a relentless workaholic who kept no women.
