Once a pampered young heir adored by all, he was framed by the fiancée who had yet to marry him, and his fortunes changed overnight. His parents died with their names cleared of neither blame nor shame, and his family’s legacy crumbled. He fell from a life of luxury into the mire of begging on the streets.
Few knew that his former reputation as a spoiled dandy was merely a disguise to hide his true abilities. He had secretly studied from childhood, even delving into military strategy, and had long since built a deep foundation in both civil and military affairs. When he was cast onto the streets, these hidden skills gave him the means to survive. Later, after making his way into an academy, he hoped to find a quiet place to sort through the clues. But as he followed the threads, he realized that his family’s downfall was no simple personal vendetta. A vast conspiracy had been woven against his clan, and its shadow was quietly spreading over a far wider world.
